[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not. My family of origin has tons of dysfunction and abuse. I distanced myself from it a long time ago. Now I maintain that distance in part to protect my chosen family (my DH and DD) because we have a wonderful relationship between the three of us and I feel I have successfully shed the dysfunction I was raised in. I want to keep it that way. I work to earn my DD's respect and trust every day. When she is grown, I want her in my life because she wants to be there, not out of some obligation to her mother. I think if you don't nurture your relationships with your children, you aren't entitled to anything later. I certainly don't feel like I owe my parents much of anything beyond what I owe any other human being -- basic decency.[/quote]
