Ok, so my dad's not well. It's changed him a lot in the past few years, but he's always been very controlling.
My mother has always been pretty unpleasant, liking us as babies, but as we began to develop our own personalities and views, she went off us. They liked (and still do) to play favourites.
A couple of years ago they cut one of my sisters out their lives, and out of their will. They've decided they like her again, and have cut my other sister off. My father rang me up to tell me about this. I told him, in a measured way, that I think that's out of order, and to think about what he's doing. He responded like a petulant child, and put the phone down. I always used to be the one who nodded and smiled to keep them off my back.
Both of my siblings were cut off at different times. this was after they'd travelled abroad to see the parents, due to worry about father's ill health. My father has said at different times they're after his money.
I'm in the process of selling a property abroad for them, my father's too ill and she's never had to do anything for herself, so I have to keep some contact until it's sold.
I haven't been well for a couple of months (going through barrage of tests). They know this, but the only time it's been acknowledged is to say "You'll feel better soon, when the weather gets warmer.", even after i sent a pleading email asking them do they care at all.
I suppose what I'm asking is, until I can go no contact, how do I detach? I keep checking my emails in the hope their might be something caring from them.
Sorry if rambly.
