[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the cutting off is used to liberally. [b]For abuse, sure, no argument from m[/b]e, but there is a thread in the Family forum about stopping going to visit grandparents because they are boring.

My mother grates on my nerves. She repeats stories and gets fixated on inconsequential things, but she's in her 80s for goodness sake. I called that woman every day for years when I had babies and small children. She was my lifeline when I needed support, had moved to a new city, and was lonely. If I'm totally honest, talking to her doesn't "bring me joy" at this point, but how horrible would it be of me to stop that effort because I find it tedious because the poor woman is old. Very horrible. [/quote]

Whose version of abuse? I worked with a woman who cried to anyone who would pay attention that her son and daughter-in-law truly cut her off. “All” she had done was question her grandchild’s  paternity and send a sample for an unauthorized DNA test. Now she knows it’s her biological grandchild she’s cut off from!

But hey she never hit anyone so that’s an argument from you?[/quote]
