[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the parents. I tried this with my dad but got nowhere. He couldn't acknowledge that maybe he had not been the optimal dad. But then he had absolutely no insight or interpersonal skills. My mom could talk about this sort of thing but I don't feel the need. I would work with your therapist on how you would want the conversation to go. Then think realistically about whether either of them is capable of giving you what you want. You could also try and develop intimacy with them in other areas, improve your relationship. Just because your childhood is over doesn't mean your relationship with them is. [/quote]
