Things Estranged Parents Haven’t Bothered to Try | Mother Wound Project

Apparently, “trying everything” per estranged parent logic includes refusing to hold yourself accountable for your role in the estrangement, feeling inordinately sorry for yourself, playing the victim, doing everything you possibly can to discredit your adult child, and calling adults who go no-contact with parents as a result of abuse names like “brats” and “assholes.” Shall we get out the tiny violins?
