Have a well documented and difficult relationship with my toxic parents. I am working through things and have got to a point where I am trying to expect nothing from them.
They seem to have got to a point where they have left the country for a month without mentioning it to me.
They mentioned a few weeks to DH that they were going on holiday for the whole of September. They never told me, and have just realised that it is now September, and unless I'm wrong, they have gone, and have not bothered to let me know. I wouldn't mind, but they get terribly shitty if I don't pick up the phone/return calls instantly so it's a bit crap, I think. They blew off DS2's birthday the other week, and whilst I thanked them for his present they haven't been in touch for weeks.
Is it quite disrespectful of them to bugger off without them mentioning it to me, it's not like it's a long weekend, it's a month; if other members of the family weren't aware of the situation I could probably be forgiven for reporting them missing.
