Could real parents be really wishing for this?
At 14, 9 years ago, my daughter started shunning me. My best understanding of the reason was to have a sad story to match her best friend's. More recently (likely at the prompting of a therapist) she claims I neglected her. Her Mother, a psychotic manic-depressive, quit her job and buried herself in reading books. So maybe between my work and her mother, being neglected was what she rationalized. I get no cards, no calls, no emails, no news, no mailing address. She gets on family zooms, but I can't bear to look at her. I DID teach her much better; we spent time with my family every month for nearly a decade. I rationalize that she inherited her mother’s imbalance, but I can't even say if that's right. We had a lot of good times together and I try to remember those. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have married her mother, who withheld the severity of her illness before the marriage. I do believe my daughter is in emotional pain too, and I feel very bad about that. She can reconcile any time she wants, but 9 years later, I'm not holding my breath. As to the meme, at this point, I'm not far away from that. I gather that a significant percentage of children become estranged from their parents, but study of the phenomena hasn’t generated any substantive findings.
@racocn8 Having witnessed the same thing happen to many parents I know, my theory is that the children of these parents don’t realize or un/consciously forget that their parents gave them the gift of life and decent upbringing. Forgive me but I don’t symphatize with ungrateful people. This is my opinion only
@OldMetalHead Having no children of my own but have witnessed how my parents did their best to give me a good upbringing, I could definitely say that ungrateful children to their good parents deserve to realize how hard it is to be a parent
