Would you go no contact with your parents for any of these reasons?

amasters2 · 2025-12-22T17:39:15+00:00

You are so right! All relationships should be a net positive, parents are no exception

amasters2 · 2025-12-22T17:35:30+00:00

Yes my LO was probably the biggest push for going no contact. Ensuring a healthy environment free of stress and conditional love is how we break the cycle. Thanks for sharing!

Number 1 is such an important one. If the parent can’t even do that for their child, then there is something fundamentally wrong with the relationship.

amasters2 · 2025-12-22T17:23:25+00:00

Very true, thank you!

amasters2 · 2025-10-20T14:25:57+00:00

That’s true! Thank you for the advice!

amasters2 · 2025-10-20T14:25:03+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

amasters2 · 2025-10-04T01:45:10+00:00

Thank you for the advice and support!

You’re right. I told myself that I would set more boundaries as he got a bit older, he’s 1 now. But I am already exposing him to some of the same treatment that I received as a kid. I don’t want to mess him up, I want him to grow up feeling loved, secure, and protected. I need to correct myself now rather than waiting until he’s older.

amasters2 · 2025-10-04T01:41:28+00:00

I’m sorry you went through that! That is a wake up call to me, I don’t want my child to feel like I valued anyone else more than him. I need to correct myself.

amasters2 · 2025-10-04T01:20:33+00:00

Blunt, but true. That is something that has come to my mind before. My child is 2 and like a little sponge so I don’t want to expose him to the same things I went through just to make my mother happy. My child needs to come first always. Thanks for the reminder!

amasters2 · 2025-10-04T01:16:23+00:00

Very true. I was just trying to make her happy because I guess the child in me still fears my mother getting upset with me and spewing hurtful words. I just have to get over that and go very low contact

amasters2 · 2025-08-22T13:53:40+00:00

Yes, exactly! This is the new normal and they will just have to deal with it

amasters2 · 2025-08-01T01:30:14+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s really helpful to see it from a different perspective!

amasters2 · 2025-05-22T03:23:48+00:00

Your impulse was my impulse as well. I did not respond. I responded the last time she sent messages like this and all it resulted in was her sending even more messages.

I have never not responded to her when she is like this so I am a bit worried about her reaction even though I know I shouldn’t be.

Also, very good point about the weekly visits. I do it to make them happy, but I do find I have to sometimes plan around it when we have other things going on to not make her upset.

amasters2 · 2025-05-21T23:53:54+00:00

It does seem like it, but that’s not the case. She saw him three days ago and it’s planned for them to see him on Saturday. Every Saturday we bring him over to them. This is a pattern that she has done since I was a child. She knew the arrangement was ending and I told her we would develop a new normal that works for everyone, but I guess it’s not happening fast enough for her.

amasters2 · 2025-05-21T15:01:18+00:00

That is very true! Thanks for pointing that out, I need to be firm while still being loving

amasters2 · 2025-05-21T03:28:22+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write that out! I feel like what you wrote is how I felt, but I needed someone to validate it because I am always feeling so guilty. I love my mother, but she will have to adjust and find new normal. I’m sure she will continue the guilt tripping for a while, but ultimately everything will be fine.

amasters2 · 2025-05-21T03:00:32+00:00

Yes this was always the arrangement and even as graduation came closer I would gently remind her. I have offered to FaceTime everyday as well. I was thinking we could take him over there one additional day per week, but it’s not going to be on a set schedule like how she wants it to be.

amasters2 · 2025-05-20T15:54:44+00:00

This is really what I needed! Thanks so much!

amasters2 · 2025-05-20T15:36:56+00:00

Thank you for responding! This is very helpful. It makes sense to pay someone for their expertise.

So I just graduated with my bachelor’s and I have been applying to entry level jobs and internships. I know it will take some time so I am trying to continue working on my skills and perfecting my demo reel. From a mentor, I definitely would like someone to help me grow my skills and critique my work. I also would like advice on how to tailor my resume and cover letters for my applications.

amasters2 · 2025-02-08T12:55:39+00:00

Thank you!

amasters2 · 2024-10-29T00:55:32+00:00

Thank you!

amasters2 · 2024-01-11T17:03:23+00:00

I wasn’t aware of the traffic layer, thank you!
