I cut my dad off 5 years ago. 100% don’t regret it. My mother and sister are both VLC.
I had to visit my in-laws this week. Haven’t seen them since Dec 2017 cause they don’t ever visit us. Been to one lunch with them and my FIL and I argued the entire time. He kept arguing with me about my health (I’m a medical provider with multiple chronic illnesses). I am too old and too tired to fake nice with idiots.
I then had a massive allergic reaction after being at their house for less than 30 minutes after he didn’t believe my cat allergy.
Talking to him reminds me of why I cut my dad off (FIL also told me that I’d regret being estranged.) I told him I do not regret it at all. No argument allowed.
My husband had been kind of a jerk about everything until I spent the entire meal arguing with his father. He then was like “old people are stupid.” But I still feel like he should have stuck up for me, but he’s terrible about it and knows that I can fight my own battles and have a thick shiny spine. I’m just tired of having no support in the fight…
