I would love to read any insights and/or advice you might have about any children/grandchildren involved. I am estranged from my mother after years of struggling with establishing boundaries that progressed to low-contact, and finally no contact. I have children still living at home and one away at college and have honestly had a difficult time talking with them about the situation. They know there were issues of neglect and entitlement that led to my decision, but I worry about over-sharing or burdening them with things I shouldn’t.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and to share your experience. I’m not an expert by any stretch but I am a parent myself so I do comprehend the difficulties with talking about these things to children. I’m going to take some time to think more about this topic and come back to you when my thoughts are clear.
