How do you feel about adult children cutting of contact with their toxic narcissistic parents?

[BasedBaeBecca]

If the parents are toxic and narcissistic, then the children need to take steps to cut them off, just as they would any other toxic people in their lives.

However, it is important to remember that people can change and that they may require time and understanding to do so, and not necessarily give up on people so quickly.

[AmandaYVR]

Occasionally it is necessary.

But don't jump the gun on this one. It's a major decision.

[Mansearching]

If the parents are like that, then its better off for the kids to do that. But they may regret it in the end. The children have to make the effort to do something. The parents have to also. Sometimes no resolution can be made. Its a sad thing this happens.

I've seen and living and witnessing it.

[Alwayreckles93]

How regret it.

[Mansearching]

If parents pass before things are mended or try to mend.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Toxic anybody. You don't get a pass to be worthless because of a particular quantity of shared genetic material. I have like a genetic similarity to yeast. Still going to eat bread.

[DryGermanGuy]

A very drastic decision for sure, but there are cases where it's for the best (maybe even for both sides)...

[TrueConfection]

It's none of my business, so I don't feel one way or another about it.

[OlderAndWiser]

Have the parents always been like this, or are they becoming senile and developing some change in personality traits?

[QuestionObsession]

Toxic parents should be left for dead, period.

There is no forgiveness for abusive parents who destroyed their children's childhood just because they were fucked up people who never deserved to be parents to begin with.

[DermalPunch]

I can't think of any valid reason apart from attempted murder.

[Alwayreckles93]

What ifntheyre narcissistic and abusive with yheir children?

[DermalPunch]

Adult children? Then have the maturity to deal with them reasonably at a distance that is safe for you. I have a very narcissistic father who was neglectful. I talk to him still and even have very pleasant conversations. I accept him for who he is and have thrived ins spite of his deadbeatery. Focusing on his inadequacy would be a cop out. I don't do the victim mentality. I mean most narc parents will distance themselves from you if you don't let them rile you.

[Alwayreckles93]

I dont guve a dam aiyt your father. My mother lives a sinful life she cheated on my dad. And I am not obligated to speak to her. Not speaking to her doesn't mean that I am disrespecting her.

[Alwayreckles93]

Wow a divorce woman who cheated on her husband telling me to be mature. Okay, This is why I only associate with christians like myselfs.. I mean you do you live a worldly life.

[_Just_A_girl_]

in a way dont 99% of us do that

-parents die of old age or other cause

-in marriage you leave fam , cling to spouse

[Alwayreckles93]

Of course its always the daughter or sons fault.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

A curse will come upon them. Curse is everyone who shows contempt for their father or mother.

That's God's word in the Bible. 👊

[Alwayreckles93]

Bit the silent treat doesn't punch them or used profanity against them so what the big issue?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The fact that you have contempt for your parent is the problem.

I'm telling you the truth, your life will have evil and misfortune in it if you have contempt for your parents.

God doesn't play with that at all.

[Exterminatore]

If possible to do I think it’s a smart move.

[Alwayreckles93]

The way my therapist told me. A narcissistic person is like going to Home Depot going to buy milk but youwill never find it because hime depot does not buy milk.

[Exterminatore]

Exactly right.

[Exterminatore]

That’s a great analogy.

[Pudsmucker]

Sometimes a person is good do what they need to do to escape helicopter parents.

[Bklynbadboy12]

As an adult yes, enough is enough.

[Jazzy54]

[RealMarek]
