[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that my parents are trying to cut me off.  We used to talk a few times a week, now barely at all.  I have called my mother numerous times and left messages and she never answers the phone or calls me back.  I have not talked to her in a month, I have only received one short text a few weeks ago.  My Dad is not a big phone person, but I have texted a few times and he usually does not respond.  This has been going on for a year now, and the communications just get fewer and further between.  Meanwhile, I see from FB that they are getting together often with other relatives and with my sister and her DS.  The really sad thing is that they show almost no interest in my DD.  My parents (particularly my mother) are very money, status-oriented people.  They believe that if you don't have a big corporate job and you aren't living in a McMansion, you are a loser.  Well, I fail on these accounts and I guess that they are so ashamed of me that they can't deal with it anymore.  My sister pretty much confirmed that this is the problem they have.  I have always been a good daughter though, kind, loving, generous, and supportive, but I guess that that isn't enough.  I am clearly an embarrassment to them.  I don't care about myself, but I can't believe that they are cutting my DD out too.  I see all of these women on FB bragging about how great their grandchildren are, and I just get so sad.  My IL's are fairly distant grandparents too, so there isn't much there.  Unless she murders someone, I can't ever imagine being so disappointed and ashamed in my DD that I would not speak to her or her children.  So weird.        [/quote]

I'm thinking she might be doing you a favor. What horrible people. I had a dad that did the obligation phone calls, but never would visit or be active in my kids lives. He re-married, our family condo suddenly had her name on it and guess who got it when he died.  They had their own home and some rental property.  I visited a few times wondering what happened to my stuff I had in my room long ago at the condo.

All I can say is move on. It may be worth it to get a new number and completely cut them off.   Does you have a good relationship with your sister?
