At which point do you walk away? (Adult child abuse of parents).

It is a little spoken about subject because I hear parents are scared to discuss it. Or they feel in some way they failed as parents. Some children grow up to become abusive adults and this includes towards the parents that brought the child up.

It seems such a sad and shameful thing to happen. A child who is an adult name calling in the most extreme sense, stealing from you, or even physically attacking you. Not once or twice but often.

When do you say goodbye and walk away? Or do you? Do you stick around and hope that they will change? I am speaking adult as in over 30 years old. Many parents do try and try everything but to no avail. When you decide to walk away what do you say? Nothing?

Any experiences, or observations of other’s situations appreciated.
