[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps their children have reached an age they were when their parents made some bad mistakes? When my kids were young teens, I became quite upset with my parents. They offered me no guidance, no support and zero supervision from 11-16. The shit I endured in those years changed the course of my life. Having a young teen, I couldn't grasp how my parents could've neglected me and thrown me to the wolves at that age. [/quote]

My spouse had a similar issue- emotional and support neglect from both of his parents. Sure he had clothes, a home and bedroom and food and his Moms rules, but little talking or guiding and no emotional supportive.

Luckily a guidance counselor saw this and his potential and got him into his college alma mater. At college he saw a whole new way of living and finally did clubs, sports, eating out, etc.

FYI we now know a lot of this was driven by aspergers on both sides, but also their parents treated them the same. Like little robots. [/quote]
