re: Anyone else not on speaking terms with a parent?

Live next door to my dad, a mile from mom and her husband and talk to all of them or see them almost daily. Inlaws are great, ex-in-laws are great too.
I’ve been blessed, but can’t imagine it any other way and am always surprised at the trivial shite some people will let ruin a relationship.

You can only kick a dog for so long before it gets enough and turns on you.
I'm 53 now and I decide who is and isn't a part of my life.

Absolutely. My mom has zero accountability for her actions and my dad enables it.
Just because it’s family doesn’t mean they are good people.
You have to make decisions for what’s best for you and your family, and I made mine. It sucks but your mental health and happiness matters > toxic family.
World is hard enough already!

Life’s too short.
Call your mom and make peace.
You might have to shelve your pride and get out of your selfishness but it will be worth it. I guarantee you.

have a great relationship with both my parents and my in-laws - both handle inheritance the same way and I agree with it - separate property ownership goes to kids with usufruct to wife - community property goes to wife - dad picked mom a long time ago - hopefully for the right reasons - he made a promise (again hopefully) to her dad - just has always been my belief that mom gets everything and what's left after that is for the rest of us so it's my responsibility to assume I get nothing and what I do get is gravy but maybe that's just me - don't let money ruin a family - they are worth much more that that
eta - have watched my parents get stronger with more adversity - love them wholeheartedly and hope to provide the same example to my children

Sorry man. Mine passed 2.5 years ago. She was my best friend outside of my wife and I couldn't have asked for a better mom. It was incredible how good of a mom she was to al of us despite a truly dreadful childhood and bad marriage. I miss her so much.
I got tired of hearing people say it gets better with time, but there is some truth to it. I'm a softy, and mistakenly carried some guilt from her passing, so I cried pretty often for quite a while. Not so much any more even though I think about her all the time. My 18 year old nephew passing has taken up my crying time. Hopefully with time it'll get better for you, but certain days are worse than others.
Today is my birthday, so I'll go back and read our text messages she sent me on my birthday (always sent at my actual birth time). They were always the sweetest messages. I will be crying later

Haven't talked to my mother in almost 2 years after she got her feelings hurt when I caught her trying to rob me of my father's inheritance.
I hate to hear this. My father called me an idiot countless times the last several years because I’m a Trump voter. It hurt, but I forgave him and moved on. You carrying that anger is only going to hurt you. Don’t misunderstand me, I know sometimes there needs to be boundaries, but it sounds like there might be some unforgiving there. I don’t know the whole story, but I hope y’all can work it out

I was very close to my mom and was fortunate to be able to be there for her at the end.
I’m not as close with my dad but we talk. He’s pretty narcissistic also—only me and my uncle speak to him.

I can take anything that anyone throws at me but when you mistreat my wife and hurt my kids, I'm done with you.
I appreciate the advice though

20+ years of missed birthdays, sporting events, and holidays. They dont speak to her either.
I've never said a bad word about her around them and they made their decisions on their own.

Drives six hours to see friends within an hour of our home, complains that i wont put three kids in the car and make that trip myself to see her..

I see dysfunctional families all around and know we were blessed with great parents and a little lucky as well.
