Hi Pink24,

Thanks a lot for your kind words and I am sorry you experienced something similar with your mother, in the same middle-eastern culture.

Regarding your advice, I am already in a very limited contact with my father although we live under the same roof; I kept avoiding him during the last few years; I haven’t spoken with him this month at all since he told me he has my money; of course he didn’t say its my money but you get the point.

I already asked Anita this question but I would love to hear your viewpoint too: should I go BIG and confront my father, perhaps invite some close family members to join-in in resolving this situation, and then if things went wrong I can, well, take my own separate path in life like you said? Any ideas on that? If you don’t mind sharing, how cutting off all ties with your own mother helped you and to what extend?

Once more thank a lot.
