[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult here, my mom nor my husbands parent's never call us. We feel alone. We don't have children ourselves. We do both come from sick alcoholic families is this it? We are good "kids" are always there to HELP. They only call when they need something and never just to say HI or ask how we are doing. WHY? Parents who don't call why?[/quote] Yes it's the "sick alcoholic families"--the way it was explained to me is alcoholics are narcissistic. My DH's mom was a non-functioning alcoholic (sleeping or watching TV all day for many years) and his father was a functioning alcoholic. She never called (my own mom would remind her when it was her son's birthday coming up...crazy) and the dad only calls when needs something. But he is charming and I can't help but like him, even though my intellect is just like, WTF this guy I should hate him.[/quote]
