LC to NC without a big argument/reason

Hi all,

I don't personally know anyone who is dealing with these issues, so seeking advice (and maybe reassurance?) here.

I (32f) am currently LC with my parents due to emotional/verbal abuse throughout childhood and strong homophobia in my adult life. After my parents (and only family in this country) decided not to attend my wedding two years ago, I was very close to cutting ties completely. I ultimately postponed because I didn't want a happy time in my life to be tainted by more arguments.

Since then, we have been in a "don't ask don't tell" kind of situation. We talk civilly on the phone every week or two, as long as I don't mention anything about my personal life. This arrangement is extremely surface level, and never leaves me feeling well. I have come to the point where I want to cut off ties completely for good, but it feels odd to do it so out of the blue. There has not been any big arguments or fights, just maintaining status quo.

Is there anything else to consider before officially cutting ties?

Thanks everyone!!
