	I had toxic parents.  They were still toxic even though they went to KH.  For some years I figured that if I was the perfect Christian that they would love me.  It took awhile to realize how toxic they were and how they had never been parents. I have no contact with either parent.  I was amazing how quickly I felt better.  They still occasionally try to reach out with that toxic touch, but I just stay far away.  100 miles might work, Gary, if it weren't for the telephone.  I recommend getting caller ID; return all letters and packages; and if they show up on your property after you have asked them not to, call the police. I have a book in my library:  Toxic Parents--Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Dr. Susan Forward. I have read and re-read that book many times.  It's a great book and gives practical advice and step by step help. Blondie
