My husband and I opened the doors of our home to you and your family. For years we were there for you. We gave you a job, helped you with your kids and your boyfriend. You lived with us until we helped you find a place of your own. Then we babysat for you for free.
We did all of this because we wanted to help you, but then you found some lame excuse to be mad at us and to dump us for God knows what reason.
Today, you walked in front of us and pretended you didn’t know us. You are a sad excuse for a relative, and you are a lousy person. We don’t need anything from you, but your attitude and lack of gratitude is disgusting.

They’re moochers. Moochers will take and take, and take and never think to say, “thank you” or gawd forbid, reciprocate. It’s one thing for them to not appreciate you but a whole other bag for them to completely ignore you. They may be embarrassed or ashamed but that doesn’t take the sting way. Or they’re just narcissistic…
It’s not you; it’s them. Move on. If they try to come back into your life, let them know that you remember all you did for them and are proud to have done so in the past. Then, emphasize “the past” and walk away.
