I’ve not had contact with her in over a year. She still sends me letters in the mail but I just put them in the recycling bin outside. Even before that contact was sporadic. I send calls if they happen directly to voicemail and delete without listening. After turning 18, I only saw her, physically, twice after that. Once when I turned 22 and then again when I was 26.

I’ve been VERY clear to her that because of how she’s been my entire childhood, how she’s been to me as an adult, is why we can’t have a relationship.
