[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young adults today want an apology from their parents.

Their parents want a "thank you."

Team Parents.[/quote]

[b]I will never thank my parents for beating me with a belt and my dad for leaving me to walk home one town over because he didn’t like something I said in the car. I was 10.[/b]

You sure about “Team Parents” all the time? You sure about that?

I guess you’re on the side of my childhood friend’s dad, who molested her and her younger sister. Wow. Team Parents, eh? Wow. [/quote]

This is an extreme example. Many children are estranged for much less serious issues.[/quote]

I doubt that. Most if not all are extreme like this. The parents don’t listen and wont acknowledge. [/quote]

You haven't been paying attention, I guess. Estrangement is all the rage, it's being urged on social media, and yeah, there's something about the GenZ cohort where many are going "no contact" with parents for things a LOT less than the abuse pp describes, and then proudly seeking validation for it in social media circles. It's a weird phenomenon.

My guess is there's a spectrum. On the one extreme there are valid cases in response to actual abuse and neglect. On the other, there are less articulate reasons that have nothing to do with actual misconduct by the parents, rather perceived injustices by the (adult) child. [/quote]
