  • I've broken ties with my parents for very similar reasons. I warned them and they did not heed.
  • That is a shame. Is this something you have seen, or does she tell you about it?
  • Dump the kid. I told my son when he was 12 that when he was a grownup leading his own life he would have to reach out to me if he wanted me to be part of his life..that I did not believe in "obligation" and I never ever wanted him to do anything he didn't want to do on his own. The result? We're best friends and I adore him and he makes me feel very loved. Reaching out to someone who insults you is sad. Just because you bear a child and raise him/her does not mean love will abide forever. Some of us are very lucky and some of us are not. Cut your ties, cut your losses and move on. I'm so sorry for your friend. She deserves better but we have to play the hand we're dealt in life! :)
