Update: I moved out in December. I was planning to move out right after exams were over, but my grandma had to go ahead and drop dead and cause a family crisis, so I held on for a few more days, provided emotional support to everyone left behind and then quietly moved out all of my belongings just after Christmas.
When they saw my room was empty, they messaged me on Facebook asking if I sold my furniture.
I went to retrieve my bird in early January after I came home from Christmas break and brought her to my new place. That was the last time I saw any of my parrots or my terminally ill dog. I miss them a lot.
I’ve told my parents on many occasions that I am open to mending our relationship on the condition that I get an apology for the shit they put me through. They’ve tried to reach out on several occasions since I cut off contact, pending an apology and each time I respond by saying I’m still waiting for an apology.
My birthday is coming up this weekend and they set a date to celebrate my father, brother &I’s birthdays. I declined the invitation, as I am still waiting for an apology and will not be in their company without an apology from them.
Given my grandmother’s recent passing, my parents seized the opportunity to try to guilt trip me into attending my birthday party because my not being there would make my surviving grandpa sad. I responded by telling them they were a) disgusting for using their grieving father as a pawn and b) that there was a very simple solution to this problem but they were too proud to execute it.
So im stuck in my small town over my birthday weekend for the third year running, and I’m going to be alone on my 23rd birthday :)
I see no end in sight to this cut in contact. If they won’t apologize to me for my birthday, I don’t know what will make them do it. I don’t give a shit about them tbh, but I just want to be able to go to their house and hang out with my pets. I miss them so much.
