Divorce your mother? Five instances when it’s ok to severe ties with your parents

It is ok

• It is imperative to cut ties with toxic people, even if it is your parent
• One, if you are still scared of them even as an adult
• Two, if they don’t respect your boundaries

A friend of mine was telling me how her mother likes putting her down because of her weight.

 She told me that her mother constantly comments about it and it has really affected her self-esteem. When I suggested that maybe she should cut ties with her mother, she was shocked.
