Very long, very detailed history with my parents has recently meant that I wrote a letter to my parents telling them that I no longer wanted contact with them. I was exhausted at their selfish, cruel and spiteful behaviour with people and I had a real resentment towards how they brought me and my dbros up. Anyway, this happened about a month ago and I have not had a response to my letter. My parents have told the rest of the family that they will not contact me again.
I am however extremely worried about how my 5 year old and to a lesser extent my 2 year will take it. I honestly expected my parents to come forward and apologise and ask to build bridges (which I was prepared to do) but they have not. I have since then realised that they have not sent their christmas cards to my children and will not send them any presents. I almost expected them to try and keep up some contact with the children or atleast fight for our relationship a little.
I am in the difficult position now of explaining to my daughter as she is now asking when we will see them for christmas etc and I have no answers for her....I feel I have let her down.
