Have any of you ever had a falling out with a parent where you cut ties with them completely and don't plan to ever see or talk to them again or attend their funeral?

Dad left mom when I was 7.
Didn’t see him again until my high school graduation. Haven’t seen him since (I’m 53).

Daddy left home when I was three, and didn't leave much for Ma and me but an old guitar and empty bottle of booze.

My mother once went crazy and verbally attacked my wife. It wasn't until a year later that I spoke to my parents.
It was too late the altercation made me lose a year with my dad. By the time I was able mend relations my dad only had 3 months left to live. My worst fears had came true. I will really never forgive my mother for that.

If they don't want anything to do with you that's fine. At least Wish them a HBD and Merry Christmas. My Ex drove a wedge between both my parents at some time. I missed a few of my dad's latter quality years

Depends on how much of an a-hole they are. I have no regrets.

I did from age 14 to 26 or so. I regret it now because it wasn't due to them being a bad person, which I eventually grew up enough to understand.

Some people are just assholes and I totally understand it in this situation.

Yes. My mother was an addict. In and out of my life my entire life. She straightened up for about a decade and I finished high school living with her. Funny lady and great personality. I went off to the service and then shortly after I got off she fell off the wagon. I tried to stand by her but one day I hung the phone up and told myself I was done. I couldn’t let her ruin her life and mine. Sadly the biggest relief of my life was watching the corners van drive off the night she died. As I had my own children I grew to hate her even after death because I couldn’t understand how she gave me and her grandchildren up for that shite. Now she’s a distant memory that’s only brought up when my children ask about my “real” mom.

You can't really give blanket advice on this. There are some awful parents out there and some of them don't deserve it.
