I'm 28 and have been struggling recently with whether or not I should keep my Nparents in my life. In March, my parents had a huge blow-up argument involving me and my spouse while they were staying with my house. I won't get into the details because there are just way too many incidents that have compiled over the years, but I will specify that I don't feel like I can ever fully forget the things that have happened in this most recent tantrum... It was the last straw for me, I think.

I feel like I will regret cutting them out of my life because I know it means there will be no reconciliation, probably ever, and that's a hard pill to swallow... But I feel like it's just as difficult to accept that I will have to keep living this way for the rest of my/their lives.

What were things that you have considered when you decided to keep or cut off your Nparent(s)?
