[quote=Anonymous]My parents are also conflict avoidant and very poor at any kind of emotional support. That is who they are. Stems from their own lives, the era they grew up in, their own family cultures etc. so I don’t expect that from them. I don’t need them or go to them for emotional support, I don’t bring up conflicts. Other people in my life can be supportive. I have zero expectation my parents will meet my emotional needs. Sure, it means I have somewhat of a superficial relationship with them but that is fine with me. Every relationship is different and I am an independent adult who accepts my parents for what they can give. We enjoy meals together, watch a show, do a puzzle, watch the kids play sports etc. we don’t talk about anything g that is emotionally charged. [/quote]
