AITA For Cutting Off My Parents After My Mom Refused To Care For Me Postpartum, Even Though She Did It For My Siblings?
--------
The story follows a woman (28F) who, after years of feeling like the forgotten child in her family, finally decided to cut off her parents and older brother when her mother refused to care for her postpartum-despite having done so for her other siblings.
Throughout her life, she had always been treated as less important than her siblings. Her birthdays were ignored, her high school graduation was overshadowed, and while her parents financially supported her siblings’ weddings, they dismissed her needs because her husband "came from a good family." She was often treated as a maid, therapist, and caregiver but never received the love or recognition she craved. Whenever she tried to express her feelings, she was scolded and dismissed as "spoiled."
When she assumed that her mother would care for her after childbirth, just as she had for her siblings, she was shocked to hear that her mother found a four-hour drive "too far"-despite having flown overseas twice for her older sister. This was the final straw. She kicked her mother out, leading to a family fight where her older brother berated her for being "ungrateful" and "narcissistic." Even when she tried to reconcile, her family blamed her for the situation and refused to acknowledge her feelings.
Realizing she would never be valued by her family, she decided to cut ties for good. She and her husband moved to a new state without telling them the location. After settling in, she sent a final message detailing how she felt and why she was cutting contact before blocking them entirely. Since then, she has found peace, focusing on her husband, her upcoming baby, and building a loving home without the toxicity of her past.
For the first time in a long time, she feels genuinely happy and free.
