Dear Jade,

I’m so sorry to hear this. No wonder you are living in such anxiety and with so much sadness.

Perhaps it’s time to remind them that:

They have forgotten that when they had nothing, we were the only people that helped them out. It was very little help but it was still us that helped them.

TBH, if it were me, I would say the above and then keep my distance.  A lot of what they have been doing and saying is really hateful and spiteful of them. You neither need nor want that in your life. If your parents decide differently, then that does not have to be your decision as well.

Better to be poor and honest, than rich and hateful. It seems to me that they have to have someone to measure themselves by, materialistically, so they use you and your family to make themselves feel even more powerful and dominant.

If they didn’t have you and your family to insult and upset, they would have to find someone else. Cut loose my friend. You don’t need people like that in your life.

Best wishes,

Jay
