I give up.

[SIZE="a"]Our parents we're taken away for drugs when I was 8 years old and my sister was 10 years old. Our parents always wrote us letters and called us all the time and we didn't want to have anything to do with them, our grandparents took us in and they are still amazing. Our parents want to get back in our lives and they will not take no for an answer. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to be hurt again.[/size]

Hey,

I'm sorry that you went through all of this. I think it's fair if you don't want your parents back in your life. It sounds like you don't since you said they won't take no for an answer.

In case they try calling, it may be useful to ignore any unfamiliar number and let it go to voicemail until you know for sure whether or not it's your parents, unless you are expecting a phone call from someone that day. If you get a voicemail from your parents delete it and block any number that your parents or someone related to them uses to try and call or text you.

If they send letters, immediately put them in the recycling or paper shredder. You don't even have to open them if you know they're from your parents.

If you're still with your grandparents or anyone else who may have contact with your parents I would let them know that you do not wish to speak to your parents or have them know anything about where you are or what you are doing. That way they know not to give out information without your express permission.

If you ever do change your mind and want to get in touch with them in the future there are ways to do that and you can respond to them at that point, but for now if you do not want that to happen try ignoring them when they reach out.

Best of luck!

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear what you've been and are going through. I can't imagine how you must be feeling.
You don't have to get back in contact with your parents if you don't feel comfortable in doing so. Take your time and speak to your sister and grandparents about how you feel so there are aware as well.
I hope this helped.
