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

Before he died, my dad forged my name on some legal documents associated with a lawsuit that broke him. Obligated me to pay his debts. Had to find out from his attorney who called me to ask a question.
My options, send him to jail, or get with the other attorneys and settle out. Which btw cost me every cent I had saved and then some. Called me and completely went off on me. Almost never spoke after that.
I was in my 40’s, starting over at that age is no fun, but my wife and I did it. He died broke, and I paid to bury him.

I minimize contact with my mom because she is a certified loon who has undiagnosed BPD because “she doesn’t need help”

How she's robbing you of her money?
Shes been remarried for over 30 years.
Insurance policy was for spouse + children.
He was divorced from his 2nd wife at the time that he passed away.
She contacted the policy holder the day that he died. I only found out because they contacted me to verify some old information. When I told them that "Mrs. Smith" was no longer married to Mr. Smith, they changed how the funds were to be dispersed.

My father chooses not to be in person with me or my sister. He’ll be polite on the phone but doesn’t want to be around us. I’m pretty sure he’s bipolar. It comes in waves. He’ll love being around us for a few months and then wants nothing to do with us for a longer period of time.
Edit: I hate that all of you are going through some stuff, but it makes me feel better that I’m not the only one.

Also, my Mom was almost giddy when my Grandma passed away because it meant she could use her inheritance to pay off her house.

My dad didn't talk to his mom for a few years over money. He didn't even go see her when she was on her death bed. He cried like a baby during the funeral and regrets not telling her goodbye.

Yikes, that'll do it. Sorry you're going through that. My dad didn't talk to me for over a year at one point over politics of all stupid things. Luckily we were able to mend the relationship, but that year plus sucked.

Not technically on no speaking terms but I’ve limited my mom and sister to about 10% access. Just couldn’t handle the constant drama anymore. Life is too short.

my mom left when I was 17. I am 53 and have not spoken to her since I was 17

try not to think about him but just can't help it.
Try this drill: When you think about him and all the things you wish you could say, or wish you had said, write him a letter. Wrote down everything you're feeling and want to say. Address it, seal it up, and then burn it.
It eventually rewires your brain and the intrusive thoughts will begin to disappear.

I dont talk to my stepmom after my dad died. She always tried to tell me I was just as important to them as her 4 biological kids which I always thought was BS. Now I know it was BS.

Sure is but apparently this is very common.
Hate that so many people are going through what I went through and apparently much worse.
I’ve gotten to the point where I choose to remember the good things about my dad, he taught me professionalism, how to use a lawn mower, how to change my oil. There just isn’t enough there to maintain a relationship and I’m at peace with that.

I don’t talk to my dad. He’s been an opiate addict since I was 10 and I had to grow up with that shite. He also has untreated bipolar and is narcissistic. I finally cut ties completely 1 year ago.
Can confirm successful ppl coming from fricked up backgrounds, I’m a doctor married to a doctor

It is depressing. But it’s also very liberating. Coming to the decision to cut ties with a toxic family member is really hard to do. But once you do it and get over the initial heartache you feel like a weight has been lifted and you can actually enjoy living your life.
It’s surprising how the wrong person can affect your life without you realizing it or without them physically being around you.

This my friends is why you never loan money to anyone. Especially family members.
My grandmother was bad about this. She loaned my parents money to buy their first home. They divorced when I was 10 and things got ugly. My grandmother wound up suing my dad. I don't have all the details because I was a kid, but she wound up losing the suit and they hated each other till the day they died.

My mother and I have a pretty fragile relationship. As long as my dad was alive she would only agitate me a limited amount. Since he passed away, we will have weeks or months we barely speak when she is being difficult. When she plays nice, we get along okay until the next meltdown. What makes it complicated is that we are both part of a family owned business. She primarily does the payroll while I run the day to day operations. She is north of 80 so I don't see her changing anytime soon. I just deal with it because I know she won't be here forever and despite her having the ability to be an absolutely toxic person, I will miss her when she is gone. After all, she raised me and took care of me when I was too young to take care of myself.
