Anyone who had a challenging relationship with their parents as a kid faces a dilemma when they finally break free from their parents and become an adult – Either you try to put aside whatever happened in your childhood and continue having a functioning relationship with your parents, or you simply cut ties with them and move on.

That is basically what the daughter (OP, original poster) in this Reddit story has been doing with her mom. Although the mother continues to cause trouble in OP’s life, they somehow still keep in touch.

OP refuses, which leads to quite a family dispute.
