[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 504974, member: 3907"] Speaking from the perspective of the estranged child (although I don't have the adoption/Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) issue in the mix), the few times over the years that my parents have attempted communication with me have left me feeling manipulated and annoyed. They have NOT made me inclined to break my silence. I think RejectedMom hits the nail on the head (as do Witz and ThreeShadows): If your only reason for wanting to maintain contact is your parent-child relationship, and you wouldn't invite them back into your life otherwise, then best to keep silent for now. There may be a "right" time later, or not. Trinity [/QUOTE]
