What kind of mother would cast away their own child?

[TheDogsBollock]

Adult child admittedly but I can't imagine my feelings changing that much to my children when they're adults.

And all because uncomfortable questions were asked.

I have to agree with pp. At first everyone assumed I must have done something awful to get disowned and there was a lot of shame as no one understood. Then Mom & Dad disowned another of my siblings. Then they sued and disowned another sibling. Then they ghosted other family members and "friends"; finally people got the idea that maybe it wasn't all the kids and others that were wrong, just maybe the parents were shit - took hella long time though! And when I say disowned, I mean disowned. No contact, cut from wills, every single picture of the kids destroyed (my kids have never seen a picture of me under the age of 22), etc; literally like we never existed.

It sounds very complicated. Your father left and then she moved away? It sounds like things were pretty awful. Not to defend her but things may have happened that she doesn't want to remember. You're only hearing his side now. Things may be too painful for her to talk about.

Difficult. My DPs were and are both awful and now I am NC. Another PP said that it may be that it is too painful to talk about for her. All I can say is I told my DC that I would answer any question about my parenting and would even go into to therapy if it would help. And I mean it.
