Reconnecting after a long time
When I came out as gay and all that, via a requested letter from my mom and the man she was dating, they told me they expected all my things to be gone when they got back from their trip to walmart. The next day I woke up to all my savings, around 5,000, taken from my account, by a joint account I had with my mom. I had just turned 19.
It's been 6 years now. I haven't made contact with either parent, honestly anyone in my family, since. I wonder how I might begin to open up having a conversation after that. Was I cruel to cut my mom out of my life like that? I feel like I was justified, if the situation were reversed she wouldn't be willing to go through what I did. Has anyone else reconnected with a parent after bad blood?
