I'm stuck in a sticky family situation?

I tricked my parents into letting me move out when I was 25. My parents were too controlling and was becoming very depressed and suicidal. Even after I moved my parents were still pretty controlling. They kept asking me when I was going to take my MCAT and apply for medical school. I couldn't even call to say "Merry Christmas." I've since decided to pursue my MBA. My depression has gotten much better.

Two years later I got married. My parents refused to attend my wedding because they did not approve of my husband. He was a part time music teacher at the time. I told them 2 days before I got married that if they don't attend the wedding they were out a daughter. I've kept to that threat. The last time I saw my parents was a month after I got married. I left a family counselor's business card and I said I won't talk to them unless both of them see the counselor. My mom has sent me numerous texts in the last 4 years but I've ignored them all. I've told people that I'm estranged from my parents. I also moved out of town. They know which city I live in mostly due to my Facebook page.

Well a few days ago my mom texted to tell me that my dad has leukemia. I really don't want to talk to my parents. I know there is no right or wrong answer to this and it's frustrating. I don't want anymore guilt trips or to become depressed and suicidal again but at the same time I don't want to regret this. I need help.

I do come from a stereotypical strict Asian family. Sorry this is so long.

    You should go see your father, but bring your husband with you. He and your mother obviously care enough about you to have been so controlling, and I'm sure you'll be a sight for sore eyes.

    I suggest you go see your dad.

    Even though you are sick of your family, they are the only direct blood relative of yours. They are still your family no matter what.

    Since you are an independent adult , you decide what to do yourself. You decide how much you stay in touch with them.

    Don't regret it!

    Well I think it would be good to go to learn more about their situation, but make it clear that you're only coming for the situation. Not because you want to come back to the family or that they were right or that you realized an error in your ways. Just for the situation. Set up some ground rules or something. I'm not a counselor, and I'm less than qualified to talk about this, so take my advice lightly. If you can find a counselor that would be ideal.

    I'm stuck in a sticky family situation? Aborted babies burn in hell for 33 and a half years; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using ivs and vaccines in hospitals. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside you home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Earth is flat; stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Enoch and Elijah return to preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago.

    Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.

    Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light.

    Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

    This is where you go to counseling to figure this out. It's not an answer that people on Yahoo can give you.
