Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
My father has been physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive to me when I was a kid living at home. He was the same way to my mother.

Now he’d dare not lay a hand on me, but the emotional and verbal abuse has continued.

Today he screamed at my son, his grandson, for a perceived slight. My son apologized several times but my dad refused to accept the apology.

My mother passed a few months ago due to cancer, and my father was incredibly cruel to her to pretty much the last day as she lay on her death bed.

Today though, when he was screaming at my son and I intervened, he started in on me.

That’s the last straw. I’m nearly 50 and he’s in his early 70’s.

I’m genuinely done. It sucks, but he’s not going to change and I’m tired of fixing things for him. He’s never apologized for anything he’s done, ever.

Anyone else on GLP have to go through something like this?

No. Every generation has it easier than the last. If you don't understand your parents and why they are the way they are, you don't appreciate or deserve them.

Is there such a thing? Do you expect your parent to outlive you?

There will come a time when you have to care for them as they exit this world.

If you have nothing to inherit from your parent, then you don't have to worry. You're crying and complaining about having to care for a parent is your shame.

Sounds like you need to give him an ultimatum. Either lighten up, or he doesn't see you or his grand kids.

I had to do this once with my father. He apologized and has been great since. Once you put those boundaries in place, it's up to him to make the decision. So don't feel guilty. You need to think about what you want your kids to see as an example.

I would cut my mother out but then I wouldn't be able to see my father or grandma.

She once threw a tire iron at my dads back. Now she claims it never happened.

You feel that sorry for yourself. Make it all about you. I love my parents dearly. Warts n all. They love me dearly warts n all. Look at poor Dace today. You selfish cunt. I don't give a fuck about you but if you don't face reality and appreciate how you came into this world and under what circumstances you were brought up, you deserve everything you bring on yourself. Grow up. Don't leave it too late. Every regret will be yours and yours alone.

Re: Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
I invited my friend and her 18 yr old daughter over for dinner tonight, my friend doesn't have money and I wanted to cook them a meal.

Her daughter berated me for using plastic because "muh earth" I challenged her beliefs. After a half hour of "discussion" I was a racist piece of shit who hates the earth and muslims. I also have no idea what I'm talking about because I do my research on the internet and don't watch television or use social media.

Hates her own country.

She stomped out.

Im fucking done trying to challenge people to think for themselves. Done being the nice person, the thoughtful one.

Bottom line is this in 2019:

Toxic PEOPLE. Parent/child. All generations. Most of them brainwashed.

Re: Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
Yes, and your father won't ever change. If you can help without it being detrimental to you and your son, fine; if its not possible, protect your son and yourself.

You and your son are most important.

Take it from my experience, he'll never change. Don't waste your life.

Re: Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
We had a lot of problems, but everything changed after I grew up. They always treated me with respect after I moved out and became independent. I left the past in the past and they did too. I think they never really expected me to amount to anything, and they were shocked when I went out into the world and became successful.

I never had the problem, but don't feel guilty if you have to cut him out of your life. It sounds like you've been a great kid. It's time to live YOUR life without the aggrevation. You deserve it. The stress will kill you, and he'll still be alive. Life is short. Time to be happy.

Re: Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
Thanks all. I don’t provide assistance or ‘care’ for him. He’s up and about on his own. He’s not bed-ridden or anything like that.

He’s just - abusive. He’s been that way to me and mom since I was a little kid.

Today was it.

It’s killing me because I still love him, but he’s crossed the line the final time.

And to the person who said he’d never change; you’re 100% correct. He never has and never will. If it was hurting me and/or mom physically or emotionally... *sigh* it’s just, he’s not going to change.

I’m done.

Re: Anyone else had to cut a toxic parent out of their life?
My parents were my parents and did the best they knew how to with the information they had. On many levels my mother was a slut and a total bitch. Hence my father worked 20 hour days seven days a week. However , if we wandered over to where he worked it stopped doing What Ever he was doing and often took a break and took us kids out for ice cream or a soda. (smile) I tended to not be at home alot as a kid. And my mother did not mind. Unfortunately a few times i had to go home to get something and more times than i want to admit i walked in on her doing the nasty with different men. Not my father who was her husband.
Later in life when my father passed away she was suddenly alone. Very Alone. My brothers wanted nothing to do with her. And were planning to put her in a nursing home. NONE
of her former sex partners showed up to take her in. I felt that it was my last chance to get to know her. So took her
in for a dozen years. I did get to know her and how/why she
was the way she was. She never smiled or laughed during that time when she was with me though would if a single older man talked with her. Still over the years i stopped hating her. And felt a degree of pity for her and the tormented life she lead.

I never saw the movie "Walk The Line" until two days ago. Based on the life of Johnny Cash. His dad was a horrible father! Horrible! He practically blamed the death of John's brother on John when they both were very young. I don't know how a person lives with that.

John's father was verbally abusive throughout his childhood and adulthood...even when he became successful. John could never please him no matter how he tried. It was so sad, but a great movie! Joaquin Phoenix was fabulous as Johnny Cash. Reese Witherspoon was wonderful as June Carter. I loved the music!

Yes, I have. Whole family. Mother, sister, father. It took me 40 years. I have never felt better. It was bad. Its hard to explain to someone who has not gone through it. I will say that I will not let them be alone in their last year's. I will take care of them because I do not like to see anyone die alone. I do love them, from afar is how it will have to be for now.
