Yes. I have told my mother directly that I no longer wish to have contact with her. I've also told Dad I don't want contact with her, as much as I can avoid it. I've also told them I'm really not interested in talking to Gram (my maternal grandmother) anymore either.
I need the Maternal Unit out of my life because she's always made me feel that if she'd had the legal choice back then, and if prenatal testing for hydrocephalus had been available back then, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. And I'm not interested in maintaining contact with Gram because she's a constant source of negativity. She belittled the Maternal Unit to the point that my mother decided that must be the right way to raise a child. My brother and I are in our thirties, and neither of us have seen fit to provide the Maternal Unit with a grandchild.
I'd be happy to maintain contact with Dad and my brother, but they've both made it pretty clear that if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, and they'd rather keep her happy than try to maintain a relationship with me if I don't want the Maternal Unit in the picture.
