[quote=Anonymous]My psychiatrist says she's never met anyone over 70 who cares about anyone but themselves. Any time you spend with them is doing them a favor - it's a good deed on your part. In therapy, I'm working on my anger at my parents, so that maybe I can connect with them before it's too late. I enjoy therapy. Just started this year, at 43. Therapist is helping me understand that they are limited, they are disappointing, but hey, you don't get to choose them. You decide if you want to connect or not. It's good to make yourself a little uncomfortable so you can set an example for your kids. But there's no need to go through torture. Unless and until they are in crisis and absolutely need your help. [/quote]
