Oh shut up Yon, lol. How a person decides to interact with their parents is their own decision to make. It's as unilateral as the parents decision to force the issue to this sort of terminus.
In any case, Der, IDK that anyone ever really stops their relationship with their parents so much as changes the parameters. Only you, or whomever we're talking about, can decide whether or not the person in question is worth that sort of a change. I know that I wouldn't give anyone in my family the time of day if they couldn't accept my wife. If I got an invite to dinner that didn't include her, well...I hope they didn't make more food than they could eat themselves, because I'm not going. That's just the way it is.
Hell, my grandparents once gave me shit for bringing "the wrong sort of girl" into their house - so they didn't see me or hear from me again for roundabouts four years. Don't get me wrong, love em to death - we have a great relationship and always have. They had their lines and I have mine. I'll say this..parents..in general, soften over time..at least with respect to their own children..even if their views calcify otherwise, lol. The love we have for our kids is usually enough to overcome whatever hate or implicit bias we carry.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
