Trying my best to make this short; my mom called Child Aid Services on me (falsely) after my wife and I told her she couldn’t be part of our child’s health care program (our child had a stomach problem, but is corrected / totally normal now). After the shocking call from CAS/CPS, and providing all information for them to do a detailed review, they found the alleged accusations to be false, but, very interesting, the report was consistent with Grandparents who go off the rails when they lose control of their kid and call Child Aid / Child Protection as a control mechinism. I lost all trust immediately in my parents and cut them off for the last 5 months as a result of the false call to Child Aid. In fact, it’s been the most soul crushing experience of my 44 year life — it’s been bizarre as I was very close with them, especially after becoming a father. About 4 weeks ago, I decided that my Boomer parents were just old and unhinged, lost control of situation they never had control of, and I would put out an olive branch to forgive them without them having to explain anything. I didn’t want them missing out on my child’s life. After a few photos, my mom replied with “ these are adorable photos. However, they could be adorable photos of any child. Please stop sending them. You decided become estranged from our family. You asked me to ‘stay out of’ your child’s health and well being. I am out. I wish you continued happiness. “ I responded with a clean reply explaining, that I couldn’t understand why she would call CAS, and it was hurtful and now the primary reason why I’ve refused to interact with my parents. Today, I wished my Father Happy Father’s Day. He responded “ thank you, and I hope yours is happy too!” , then later in the evening “ I’m deleting all our text messages. Do not text me anymore”. Honestly, I don’t know who, or what to do. It’s so bizzare, and they have made themselves the VICTIMS. I’m lost, I’m hurt, I’m confused and I feel manipulated submitted by /u/rudegyal_jpg
