Following up - Mum demanding monthly payments

[Lifeisinshambles2]

In August last year, I created a thread because I didn’t know what to do, my parents were demanding hundreds of pounds a month with no explanation of what I supposedly owed them for.
It’s now February, and we still haven't really spoken. I wished her a happy birthday, and she said ‘thx’. I feel very very guilty, I often get the urge to try to repair everything, I can’t stand thinking of her passing away without us being close again. However, I know this won’t be possible. I will never forget everything she has done to me throughout the span of my entire life. But it is so easy to slip into thinking it’s all my fault. Just feeling quite down today

I remember your previous thread. Your parents were extorting from you and the fact they are now punishing you for standing up to them by cutting you off shows you what kind of people they are. They saw you not as their child to love and support but as a cash cow to keep their pockets lined.

But I get it's hard when you are estranged from family. You just need to remind yourself repeatedly that they are not good people and they are terrible parents.

That's terrible. I don't think I saw your last thread but PP seems to know how bad it was. Extortion?!

I've no idea what possessed them to be this way but they don't deserve your love or support.

I hope they realise you're not going to play any part in their care when they get old and sick.

After your last thread you have NOTHING at all to feel Guilty about. None of this is your fault, it’s all on them . Please consider some therapy to unpick some of the feelings you’re feeling. 💐

I remember your thread @Lifeisinshambles2
I wonder if the advertising for Mothers Day has played a part in unsettling you? Sadly, abusers rarely see their fault. She is a user and an abuser.
I understand your conflict and sadness.
I wish I could give you hug and tell you, it is not your fault and you deserve so very much better.
Thinking of you x

By extorting I meant they were demanding a monthly payment from OP in return for their continued affection. When she stopped paying, they cut her off.

Yeah, that sounds awful. I did think that was what you meant by it, not in the literal sense. But it pretty much is that really though isn't it.

Op are you the young woman in your late teens ? I hope you're doing well xx i remember reading your story. Keep doing what you're doing x

I've just read your previous threads OP. OMG. How on earth did such a vile person give birth to such a nice young woman?

Live your best life OP, live it with no regrets, they never deserved you.

Personally I'd be happy you now don't have to waste time on people who don't really care about you.
Haven't seen my dm since 2012. I found other things to do that make me happier than I was..
My dpets. My garden. And hobbies. Guilt free.
