[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because 40s is when manure hits the fan for many people. Up until then they’ve been telling themselves that they will still be all they can be, and it’s never too late, and it’ll all work out at the end. Then the realization hits: nope, that’s actually my life and that how it’s going to be, so they have to either accept it or blame someone. And should you decide to blame someone, parents are a natural target, especially if you chose to engage a therapist to help you.[/quote] +1, but it's also when their parents start needing more help or madking addled choices. I had a lot more patience with my parents 10 years ago than I do now, in the midst of extremely foreseeable needs they refused to plan for. Which are also hitting at the same time as my own issues, as you pointed out. [/quote]
