I Went No-Contact With My Parents For 2 Years After They Chose My Sister’s Side In Every Argument, Skipped My Graduation, And Called My Husband « A Downgrade. » They Told Everyone I Was « Mentally Unstable. » Then I Got A Letter From My Father’s Attorney. He Needed My Signature On One Document. When I Read What It Said, I Laughed So Hard The Lawyer Asked If I Was Okay.
For two years, my parents treated me as if I were dead.
No birthday messages. No Christmas cards. No awkward calls from my mother pretending she had “accidentally” dialed my number. Nothing.
