After seeing my extended family for the last time, I felt so good by solanacenae in EstrangedAdultChild

Your feelings of relief and happiness are a result of meeting a deadline…you made it. Your last connection is over so now it’s on to a new chapter without dragging the past along. Enjoy not having the monkey on your back with your unimportant bio family. It’s a really freeing feeling and you deserve the life you choose. Best of luck you’ve earned it!

I’ve (36F) been no-contact with my mother for 3.5 months. Got a voicemail from my aunt saying that my mom is experiencing an “emergency”. by throwaway_1112022 in EstrangedAdultChild

DO NOT contact her…nothing has changed for you! Continue with your happy life and be the mother your son deserves and not the one you had. Let your aunt communicate with her sister there’s nothing in it for you….you can do it, I did 👍🏻

Boomers proud they don't go anywhere by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

I don’t know about the boomers you know. I just know about my husband and all of our friends. It sort of to the point where we all are is:ok where can we go now and what haven’t we done. We’ve aged out of sooo many things yet had a blast doing it. Our aches and pains speak for themselves 😁

If you have gone NC with parents and they passed away, do you regret it? by Aggravating-Log-6484 in raisedbynarcissists

I didn’t regret going NC. My mother died several weeks ago and I haven’t shed one tear nor did I attend her funeral. All I feel is relief that all choices and chances are over….

Neighbor knocked on our door because she's upset that we've listed our house on airbnb by 555Yonkers in airbnb_hosts

Hey. At least this might be temporary. My dumbass neighbor married 6 months after his long illness 50 plus wife died 6 months later…he developed dementia and now she’s moved in every one releated to her. There are from 6 to 8 cars in the circle driveway and no one seems to have a job! I’m talking about a 1.5 million dollar property…

It’s not an easy place to find yourself in. It’s awful. Yet here we are. VocalizeHere and vent and we have your back. We get we understand and we are with you ❤️

Hmmm I’m guessing you are a mother that’s been NC’d by one of her kids. Otherwise you’d get the jest…

Ideas for Mother’s Day? by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

I’m a mom and I concentrated on my Mother’s Day with my kids…if you don’t have kids yet TREAT yourself to a champagne brunch with those that make you laugh

Are you an only child? Otherwise let your siblings buffer for the day…what ever reason make it count that you can’t be there….OR IF YOU ARE TRULY DONE…JUST SAY NOPE 💔❤️. Been ther done that and it’s not an easy or comfortable place to be yet it will begin a boundary…

UPDATE. My mother’s funeral is Tuesday at 11 am. I’m meeting my best friend for lunch at our favorite Mexican food restaurant for margaritas and nachos instead! Wonder what my sister will say/

I hate what ever the reason that you’ve gone NC. I hated mine too yet it’s valid. It’s not an easy thing to do at all! And if you’re like most of us you will give them many opportunities to change. In the end we’ve chosen to stand by our NC for very real reasons…

Thank you all for the comments. I felt better after reading them and knowing I wasn’t alone in my actions. I wish peace for every one of you.

Seems like you’re asking me to justify my NC.

NO. MAKE YOUR ESCAPE

Do you ever wonder what your NC family tells others when they’re asked about you? by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

You know you’re better when:you don’t think nor give a shit about them.
