My relationships with human beings in general, and my parents specifically, have improved as my recovery deepens and I grow.

Tassle,
I was in no way advising you either way...I was wanting to know your motive. If I was going to give advice it would be to wait. As the above quote points out I have grown so much in the years that I have been in recovery that the things I wanted to do in the beginning have no place in my life now.
My son is an alcoholic and has created havoc in our lives. I will never close the door on that relationship. I may cut a conversation short or even hang up when he is drunk but I welcome talking to him when he is sober and relatively happy. I don't accept his excuses or his blame but I don't argue the point either. It's about meeting him where he is as was also mentioned above. I could not cut him out with a clear conscience and I need to be honest with myself in order to have any peace. That's me. You are you and you have to do whatever you have to do to achieve the peace you are looking for.
There is no right or wrong.... but you were asking for experience from those a little further up the road.
Hugs,
JT
