I can understand it entirely.

Although I was never in a position to completely cut myself off from my family, particularly my mother, I would very much have liked to have been and tried very hard to get myself into that position.

Now, as a member of several groups for the scapegoat children of narcissistic parents, I understand that I was not alone in my abuse either.

LaGooner and ZZzzz I know how you feel as I am in the same boat so to speak. Sending hugs.xx <3

Like Gwyn, I find that so sad and I could cry for anyone in that situation. Because of distance and other commitments we don't see our 2 and their families very often but they regularly phone or email and I know that we are all there for each other if there is a need.

I simply don't know, well I can guess why but because they don't communicate with us so don't know for sure.

I have had Mother, Sister and 4 kids

It has happened to hubby and me, our son and two of my siblings

We have 3 very close to us but the rest do not bother at all and we are persona non grata

I'm sorry that you are in that position LG.

I see our 3 often, like today and we all get on well.

We don't live in each others pockets, but each one would help the others, if they needed to.

That is a really sad situation.

I don't know of any family that has experienced that.

Disowning one or both parents or siblings, no explanation just don't answer their phones or e mails, it has happened to my cousins, it seems to be everywhere.
