Hello Anita,

Honestly, I’ve discussed a couple of times with my younger sister about stopping communication with my mom altogether. I just get this crazy amount of guilt when I think about cutting her off, because 1. she won’t be around forever and 2. My mom has cut herself off from her parents (for a reason she never full expresses), and I would hate to do to my mom what she did to her parents.

Despite these reasons, the only benefit I see for myself is it being sort of a practice of acceptance. Other than that I see no benefit.
