[quote=Anonymous]I’m not a young adult. I accept that my parents did the best that they could to parent me in a rapidly changing world that they were unable to fully prepare me for. I also recognize that from early childhood through young adulthood, I paid a heavy price during their ugly divorce and beyond — as each parent tried to get their share of daughterhood. I won’t go into the details of the ugliness except to say that it was sometimes brutal and that divorce didn’t make an angry controlling parent any less angry or controlling — although it changed the available focus of that rage. An apology, or even an open acknowledgment would have been helpful and possibly even healing. In contrast, my parents each got many thank you moments although I have no idea if they were felt as being adequate. TLDR: It’s not just an issue for “Today’s young adults” and their parents.
