Sometimes we get into a place where we just want to move on. I'm at that point right now - not talking to my mother, a MAJOR trigger for me as she expected me to be *so much more* than I am now.......long story. Anyway, I suppose you need to go through a cost-benefit analysis. What would it mean to you? Would reconnecting help or hurt? Or, perhaps more pointedly, would it simply be neutral and make you look like you took the high road? As I said, sometimes we simply reach the breaking point and we move on for our own good. IMO, if you've chosen to improve, there's no reason to go back.
