Yeah, I highly doubt that. She was probably be abused by you for the last 31 years and finally had enough.

@jolene41062 What can you do? Stop deluding yourself perhaps? I find it very unlikely that you were 'so connected' before she entirely cut you off. All the narcissistic parents say the same garbage.

Forgiveness is always the first action, but after a decade or more (when it supposed to work?) Toxic people depend on forgiveness to be given a sense that their abuse is "ok". That's how they see it!

Here's a grand idea 'dad'. How about you stop treating your adult children like your property? Coming from an extremely abusive household, I can assure you that this isn't my first rodeo with a narcissist. You people are all the same and you repeat the same old gaslighting garbage. Is anybody to truly believe that this was entirely random and that none of this behavior is tied to actions of the past or of recent? My own mother thought it would be nice to start a fight with me over the phone and text, just before she went into surgery a few weeks later. All so she could tell people how disrespectful I was being in 'her time of need'. If you had a real relationship with your kids; they wouldn't be short with you over the phone/text.

Doing alright! Just put my son to sleep :) The toxic parents here are a nightmare. It's like they've been summoned and are looking for their 'supply fix' from other abused children; it's sick.

Spoiled children? What are you referring to? Being spoiled by physical abuse, being drugged, and manipulated into adulthood?
4
So, being screamed at, given an anxiety disorder, drugged for 6 years, and manipulated doesn't count as abuse in your eyes? Oh sorry, I'm just a complainer; go to hell.

Welcome to the age of accountability sweetheart! :)

Oh yes, the grand old 'parents are not perfect' BS that abusers love to throw around to absolve themselves.
3
My God, can you narcs come up with anything new? If the internet gave you the enlightenment that you needed to be a fully rounded parent. Then why did these abusive parents always know how to 'properly act' whenever they were in public or had guests over? As soon as that door shut, their personalities morphed and the abuse began. Prior generations always knew what they had to do. Most were just too much of cowards to do anything about it.

Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot, being a family means (being abused me shitbag parents that feel much better about themselves after they use you as a human punching bag). If you decide to run away from that abuse, then YOU are selfish! lol The cycle of abuse in these situations is morbidly hilarious. It's a system of control where the abuser gets to maintain their victims in a family setting; how lovely!

Same here! I hope you find peace and prosperity!

Children very rarely come out bad from two loving parents.

Well, yes and no! Baby Boomers and Silent Generation parents had their fair share of problems, but there is no comparison to Generation X parents. I think Generation X became entirely complacent from the wisdom of their forefathers. They indulged in the religion of military, pharmaceutical companies, and birthed televangelism. A significant number of millennials and zoomers will tell you that growing up with Gen X parents was a hell-hole of compliance and stagnation. Quite a bit of religious abuse as well. Not to mention they are the generation that started Reaganomics and the beginning of artificially low interest rates. It allows horrible and dysfunctional families to get cheap mortgages and loans to become middle class. I grew up in a center middle class home. All but one home on our entire block was completely dysfunctional; culturally backwoods, violent, and irrational households.

Your compassion 'if sincere' is misplaced. These estranged parents are a plethora of Cluster B Personality disorders that see their children as property. No offense, but Generation X is the most abusive generation in recent history. A generation that created televangelism, military worship, and religion of pharmaceuticals. They were ALSO the first generation to experience the low-interest portion of Reaganomics that allowed millions of trash individuals to become middle class home owners. The finances changed, but the culture remained the same; utter garbage. The amount of physical abuse, manipulation, alcoholism, and drug abuse going on when I grew up was staggering. Mind you this all took place in middle class neighborhoods. It's a massive plight in American history that (now adult children) are just beginning to heal from.
2
That makes absolutely no sense. The idea that children need to have some kind of 'devil' stamped out of their behavior is a deeply root and ignorant Christian ideology. If the child is spoiled, narcissistic, or abusive themselves; the parent made them that way by doing the same.
2
Unlikely! Narcissistic and manipulative children are spawned from parents that act the same way; not the other way around.
2
Sure, we ALL abuse our children! You're a narcissist pure and simple if you are looking for reasons to blame-shift your actions. I've always thought it was hilarious how abusers act 'purely and upright' in public or at gatherings. When the door slams shut at home; they go back to abusing their victims.
2
NPDs don't apologize. This isn't about human faults; it's about a large number of people with personality disorders. My mom abused me for 20 years and I began to get aggressive about boundaries after my son was born. Everything she does and says is an 'investment' into controlling you or somebody else to get her way. She was like that when I was a child and she is like that now. Forgiveness is one thing, but allowing yourself to remain in that predatory situation is insane.

@ILLUMINATIVON Yes, the parents get blamed. Two loving parents don't produce garbage children.

Therapy bud, academia is a cheap and dumb answer.

@rubiesofgold7698 Don't feel bad, they are manipulative trashy people that are finally reckoning with karma. Generation X - the generation that brought you televangelism, military worship, and a pharmaceutical religion. Whom of which get made when you (the child) do not comply with their long list of selfish 'wants'. A generation that went from 'broke' to middle class due to Reaganomic low-interest mortgages spanning from the 90s into the 2000s. The amount of dysfunctional families in suburbia was disturbing to me as a child. High level of religious insanity, violence in the household, alcoholism, drug abuse of children, and downright compliance with their military/God world view. It was an absolute hell hole for many millennials and zoomers. It is a unique generation born out of a radical change in economic policy and the beginning of the 'forever wars' in the middle east.

There never was any love; you brought her up in an artificial family. The degree of Boomer/Gen X entitlement knows NO bounds. It find it hilarious that (being left alone) is seen as 'entitled'. While harassing your child to get what you want and not getting a reply is 'not seen as entitled. lol

@ellyk8834 Your post was extremely condescending Elly. You claim others are overlooking their unhealthy/abusive language. How about starting with your own? What normal person would want to continue a conversation after your first post?
1
@bagobeans So basically, anybody that doesn't serve you, be responsible for your emotions, and maintain your broken household are 'selfish'? In my experience, most younger people want to be left alone (either married or single) in households where they don't have to hear their parents demand, yell, and scream at them. The most entitled people on the planet are Boomers and Gen X. They can't stand not having a punching bag laying around (person).

@jh53583 In MOST cases, this pattern of estrangement takes years. Parents love to play the (changed in a week - game) so that they can look like the victim. I was abused for 20+ years and it took an additional 7 to get to borderline (no-contact) with my mother. She's an extremely manipulative person and she was trying to lay claim to my son. Like she's going to babysit him in the house that she drugged, screamed at me, and threw things at me. Only someone that was psychotic or had a serious mental disorder would think that was remotely acceptable.
1
Go to hell Doris! You are without God to think that it is acceptable to stay within a family or relationship where the person is manipulating or actively abusing you.

I don't find it odd whatsoever. Generation X birthed televangelism, military worship, and religion of pharmaceuticals. They were the first generation to live during (Reaganomics and the low-interest environment). Allowing utter trash families to get low interest mortgages and slingshot into the middle class. Growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I lived in two separate middle class neighborhoods. Everybody (except one family) came from absolute trash backgrounds; single parent households, drugs, evicted house living, and almost all were abusive. The finances may change, but the culture carried on. The families I grew up with were extremely toxic, many had violent behaviors, many alcoholics, etc. We are just now seeing all of those children grow into adulthood and the hell that they lived thru.

I think I understand why we are beginning to see this trend in society. The birth of the internet has assuredly given people the ability to be more enlightened and seek help. However, that doesn't explain why such a significant number of people are estranged from their parents. Generation X is by far the most abusive generation! Why? The generation that created televangelism, revived the religion of the military industrial complex, and birthed the pharmaceutical obsession with modern American life. Pair that with Reaganomics and artificially low interest rates that pulled unhealthy cultural habits into the middle class and boom! You have an entire generation of financially independent, yet culturally dysfunctional parents. It is a generation that prided compliance and were rewarded with cheap debt (mortgages and loans) that allowed bad culture to expand into greater America. A generation that prides itself on cash, sweat, and perseverance fairs much better than what was produced during the 1980s-1990s. This is why Silent and Baby Boomer Generations had a completely different experience raising children. Not that it was the most superior, but it was significantly better than the previous generation of parents. When you give incentives for bad behavior; you get more of it.

People aren't putting up with narcissistic shitbags anymore, pure and simple. People that manipulate you and use you as a human punching bag. Why should children or young adults show ANY allegiance to those people? The world is not perfect! Yet the abusers knew exactly what was (right and wrong) in a public setting. When they got home, they thought it was perfectly acceptable to go back to being monsters. The jig is up and your sick worldview is coming to an end. You people hide behind religion, family, and respect as a means to abuse your victims.

Generation X is an extremely narcissistic generation. They birthed televangelism, military worship, and a religion of pharmaceuticals; it's all about control. They absolutely LOVE to control their kids and keep them as a cardboard cut-out in their little worlds.

It was 7 long years of living my own life before I was pushed into; not (not contact) but a seriously restrictive relationship with my mother. I became more aggressive with my boundaries after my son was born. My mother began demanding babysitting rights and that I would not 'take her grandchild away from her.' She abused and manipulated me for over 20 years of my life. Drugged me as a child to cover up my anxiety disorder as a child and pass it off as ADHD (many parents love to do that btw). Would constantly throw things, scare the living hell out of me, kick down my door as a child and start screaming, throwing things, and hitting me. Childhood was a state of slavery as far as my experience goes. I would never allow my child to be babysat or be under the same roof as I was with that woman when I was growing up; it is unfathomable that anyone would even conceive of thinking that was appropriate.

@lab4389 You sound like a narcissist that would say I have to go to seminary school if I want to make an argument against the existence of God. You people are a plague.
1
@rcy4513 You accept responsibility for a child OR you get arrested and CPS shows up. The fact that you said you should have used a condom for one of your three children is disgusting. You're probably the worst (NPD) I've seen in a while. Entitled to the brim, but play it off as 'responsibility' when it comes to your children.

There is ZERO defense of maintaining a scapegoat in the family! It is the most immature and cowardly thing to do in life. I don't care what the relationship with a spouse is like.
