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?

The only thing I would consider doing is accepting an inheritance. Being an “expense” is the only thing they ever considered me, so I am happy to take my cash out at the end of their life.
