Rubbish response

I've recently been diagnosed as autistic and it's been an up and down experience since I found out for sure even though I was certain myself before it was official. I'm a man with kids of my own but I thought I'd share the news with my parents to let them know why I've struggled in life but all I got was ' oh right at least you know, how are the kids?.' These people have been less then supportive throughout my whole life and that's putting it mildly. Should I just cut them off now because I was never happier then when I didn't speak to them for years.

    Your parents seemed dismissive about you and your struggles growing up. I mean, if they are bad for your mental health, and they don't seem very concerned about whether you are in constant contact with them or not, then you could do that and cut them off. But you could try to call them again and discuss things with them to just try to clear the air about the situation, and to get some answers, and depending on whether that call was good or bad, you can choose to keep in contact or cut them off at that point in time.
