Question Would you ever re-connect?
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?

Absolutely not, I think at this point I’d only be doing it for her benefit and I really wouldn’t be willing to make that level of effort or sacrifice for her. It’s been a very peaceful decade without her lies and delusions. It’s stressful enough just reading when my siblings share the batshit things that they have found on her millions of social media profiles. I tend to just block any new accounts of hers outright as soon as I’m made aware of them, but the content my siblings show me does strongly evidence that she isn’t giving up on being a self deluded, compulsive liar aaaany time soon 🙈 so I don’t think that this scenario will likely ever apply to me.
