My parents were abusive and negligent towards me though they have tried gaslighting my childhood. I don't gift out of a sense of duty but for my own conscience. My father is elderly, my mother is not in the best health, and I realize my time with them is short.

You’re a better person than me! My parents were also abusive and I haven’t spoken to them in years. Even just thinking about them gets me sad and upset still. No way I’d send a dollar their way!
