Am I an asshole for being dismissive of my mother?She was never really there for me, fucked me up pretty bad when I was young but I'm being told she's tryingWhat do I do bros?
>>77271649well it's up to you if you think you should forgive her or not. That's more than a lot of people get. Talk to her
>>77271649well you kind of owe your entire existence to her (not only did she give birth to you, she fed you her milk and cared for you at least enough to not have died in infancy), so take that for what it's worth.
>>77271853all that is is the bare minimum
>>77271649Setting boundaries is good, but doing so clearly is important. Pull your mother aside and specifically outline that you would rather not stay in contact with her and why. Distancing yourself but not explaining anything is a dick move.
