Should I cut off my parents?

Should I cut off my parents if they abused me physically and mentally as a child? But gave me the best life they could?

They abused you but gave you the best life? Are you satisfied with the life you have? Did they provide the basics for you to get to the point where you are today? none of us got where we are today by ourselves. there has always been one/someone there to build the path for us to walk on. Whether you cut them off is totally your call but you gotta think deeper than just the surface when you make a decision as such because the last thing you want to do is regret a choice like such or question why you didn't do it when you had the chance. Im not advocating for either side just saying be concrete with your reasons.

Sadly, a lot of parents do not understand anxiety and depression, let alone their role in causing same. But ask yourself this: did they mean well? Did they do the best they could with what they knew and what they had? Were they also still dealing with their own mental and emotional issues?

If the answers to the above are YES, and nine times out of ten they are, then you just have to forgive them for their failures and limitations, and move on with your life. If the answers are honestly NO, then you have to work to get out of there.
