After moving out, I have gotten into the habit of visiting my parents every weekend. At the end of last year, I realized that I was feeling overwhelmed from having too much things I have to do. And I felt resentful about having to visit them. So I told my parents, I will only visit two weekends every month. I need other forms of social activity and I need time to do my hobbies and chores. I thought it would be good for them to have time to expand their social circles too.

My dad reacted by asking me every week to visit, which I expected. At first, my mom didn’t have much negative reaction besides seeming sad about it. Last week I sent her a message about something and she didn’t respond. I sent her another message yesterday about another topic, and she didn’t respond either. I thought she might be on a social media break. But today in the group chat with me and my dad she asked if I’m visiting this weekend and I said no. Then she responded in the group chat “received”. So it made me realize that she’s giving me the silent treatment in our one on one chat

I felt angry and hurt that they can’t be happy about me having a life and that they feel entitled to all of my free time. It hurts because it feels like they don’t see me as my own person.

Mom ignores my messages because im not visiting them as often as they’d like
