[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you handle the boxes of gifts or cards full of money that your kids receive from their grandparents/your estranged parents? I received an expected delivery email and I suspect it’s from my parents for my kids. At the beginning of the estrangement, when we were still low contact and I thought maybe we could work it out, they sent gifts at the kids’ birthdays, but I’ll admit it felt a little gross to give them to the kids.

You’re a lot, aren’t you?

Let me guess. You went no contact over your parents’ “toxicity” and spend a lot of time in communities getting praise and encouragement for doing this? And you have been in therapy for years … that your parents paid for when they were trying to get you help? When they were sacrificing for you? [/quote]

I recognize this PP's writing. In so many discussions here. PP are you doing a dissertation on social dynamics on a parenting board? Or how people react to hostile presumptuous snarky shaming replies?  Because unless you're doing a dissertation on these things, you just getting on discussions to shame people and speak with ignorant entitled authority is getting so old and tired.  And you really are recognizable more than you realize.  [/quote]

Um, you recognize my writing? I don't believe I've ever posted about estrangement. So, you're wrong and presumptuous. It's so very clear what I said struck a chord and maybe caused you some cognitive dissonance. Maybe deal with that instead of reflexively attacking. I'm sure you are desperate to cling to this victim narrative/fantasy you have in your head, but this is not a "safe space" to wallow in your delusions. A lot of us will push back.[/quote]
