roll eyes

Well I was on my own at an early age as my mom split, years I use to give her money and finally I had it, it's so sad I don't even want to talk to her, F-all for me and everything for her...


So I cut ties and have not been in contact with her for a few years, what would you do?

I would do the same....You can choose your friends...BUT unfortunately you can't choose your family...I have no respect for parents that weren't there when kids were growing up and then all of a sudden decide one day when you're totally capable of looking after yourself...they want to be parents!!!!!!

I found myself in a similar situation. My mother was very abusive, and I left home when I was 16. Over the years I tried to have a relationship with her. But I found she only wanted money, or something else. I finally reached the point, that I had to accept the fact that I was never going to please her. Also that she would not become the mother I had always dreamed of. And for me, I had to walk away from it. For my own sanity,self esteem, and for the sake of my own children. Just because she's my mother, didn't mean she had the right to treat me badly. It's been 8 years now. And I have friends who are family to me more than my own mother was. comfort

Are you bitter or is there a tone of acceptance in your text?
I'm being serious.

there is always room for reconciliation while she is alive. None after she is gone. If at all possible, forgive and enjoy what time is left. JMO

We all have to make choices in our lives based on what is best for us as individuals - if we live our lives based on what others think or how they would chose - we are not being true to ourselves.

If you have cut ties with your mother because you feel taken advantage of (ie. paying her bills etc.) - don't forget that you've got the right to say no to paying her bills and plane tickets; you don't need to exclude her from your life; but perhaps establish some clear boundaries may be a more viable option - if in fact you feel the need to re-establish a relationship.

Ask yourself this question - if I found out my mom (or whoever you've excluded from your life) passed away today - would you have regrets ??? If so - then its obviously something that you need to reassess about your life. Will "the relationship" turn out the way you desire? - only time will tell and in the end the only person that you can hold accountable is yourself for your own actions or lack thereof.
