@SW-User I think that is abandonment, not disowning... but it hurts the same.

Yes, by both mum and dad in 2012 when I told them I was getting a divorce. They are both very traditional and to them it was not only scandalous but outright sinful in their eyes. It hurt a great deal. At a time when I needed my family, they turned their back on me. We were estranged for approximately 8-10 months. They started talking to me at the 12 month mark. But it took about 3 years for our relationship to begin to recover.

You must ha e a good reason I’m sure @IntoMeYouSee
@Wishingwellguy yes, I had.
I lost faith and trust in her. She abandoned us as a growing teen after my father abandoned us.
She was codependent on men and I resented her for her neglect.
Though I learned valuable lessons from the experience, I lacked the nurturing from a mother and protection from a father.
I have a "casual" relationship with my mother but I don't take her advice or listen to her critical banter about how I should raise my kids, live my life... etc. she had her chance and she's not going to tell me how to live mine
