[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a close bond with my parents at all. We have always been as you described. They have never made an effort to get to know me or my interests (and at some points judged me harshly for having my interests). It was made clear to me that I was not what they expected. I am very successful in my career and family. I still love my parents and we still have absolutely nothing in common. I still have my "strange" interests in the outdoors, and now my kids have those too. I am intentionally cultivating a different relationship with my kids because that is what I want (and what I needed as a kid too). My parents are kind and loving, but I always wanted more. I'm giving my kids more, maybe they will want less (lol). [/quote]
