Divorcing Your Parents

After more than 3 decades of trying, in any and every conceivable way, to have a relationship with my parents, I have decided to cut all ties with them. This is not an easy thing to do. It's a long and painful process. But I now realize there is no other choice. I have tried to set boundaries, tried to explain how hurtful their treatment of me has been over the years, but it's really no use. They are trapped inside their own version of reality and are unable to see anyone else's point of view.

My intention for this blog is for it to be a place where I can record my "detoxification" process of sorts, while also giving other people a place and chance to vent, voice their opinions, and share their own feelings and stories. Things such as these are never easy to go through alone, and I don't think one should have to do so.
