[quote=Anonymous]My parents were very involved, they gave it all to parenting me and my younger sibling. When I was 17 I left for a year and came back when I was 18, and it was night and day - it’s like they cut me off or something, I suddenly had no curfew, I could spend days away from home without so much as a phone call, and o left the house when I was 19 and they’ve been very hands off ever since. I think they just got tired of such intense parenting plus they were going through their own personal and economic struggles. They somewhat resurfaced when I had a child of my own but then I moved away fairly soon. Then very little communication again and then bam! My mother died and I moved my father closer to me and it’s like I’ve never known him - he was a young man (as I perceived him as a teen) and suddenly he is an old man now, no in between. This is all very weird. Anyway I think some people just get tired of parenting and they pull away. [/quote]
