Absent parents
Over the past few years, my relationship with my parents deteriorated.
Things got so bad that I had move out, and I haven't spoken to them
since. They weren't at my wedding, and I was ok with that. So what about
everyone else? Are your folks around?

Re: Absent parents
My parents are divorced for about 13 years. I had a falling out with my father a month after I got engaged. I did invite him to my wedding anyway and he did not come, nor did he RSVP. I was ok with it then and I still am. I cant look at the situation and feel 100% certain that it is his loss.

I do not speak to my mother, been 7 months now.
My husband has not spoken to his father in 15 years.
My mother passed away, she raised us as a single mom. My father is alive, but since he was never a father to me - Im not about to go looking for him now. We get along, its civil - but the parent I had is gone, and I made peace with that.
For those that dont have much family - it can get difficult, but one thing that I've always believed in is that you can make your family. Family isnt always the one you're born into - its all what you make it.
