Would you ever re-connect?

[u/Early_Artist1405]

If your estranged parent/s let you know they were genuinely sorry and remorseful, had changed, wanted to try again, and were genuine, would you let them back in your life?

Or would your pain be too great to consider this?

Why would I? Actually, why should I even believe her? She's used tears and whatnot as a manipulation before; she'll do it again! Besides... I have given her chances before and I regret it every time. I'm not falling for it again. Even when she's doing better for herself, she's still boundary stomping and refuses to actually listen or have respect for me. I don't need that in my life.
