[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though my three siblings and I had ongoing issues throughout issues our lives, we did vacations and holidays together consistently. Now two of them are dead and it's a bit sad. But with that said, I have tried to do things that one would think would keep siblings close, but I am sure that my son and daughter will not remain close as adults. They are teens now and have just never tolerated each other. So, I am parenting and loving them as best I can, while also maintaining a life for myself. I think a lot of toxicity toward parens and in-laws on this board come because parents cannot remove themselves from their adult children's lives. They have wrapped their entire identities around their children and see a future only with them always in it. You need to look to a future that is about your own life. And it will hopefully be filled with some bonus time with your kids in and out of it--whatever that looks like.[/quote]

This is what I'm doing as well. I'd love to be a part of my children's lives when they are adults, but it's not healthy for them if they are the only facet of my life. [/quote]
