[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol there is a lot of Boomer denialism happening in this thread.

Truth is, if your kids are terrible to you or really dislike you, this is the one instance where it probably at least partially your fault. Either you were $hitty enough to them that it made them resent you, or you failed to set proper boundaries or guide them enough for them to become decent people.  There's probably some luck and other factors involved too -- parenting isn't everything.

But think about it this way: say you raised a child and at 18 then went and joined a cult where the cult taught them to hate you. On the one hand, that cult sounds like crap and is definitely taking advantage of your kid. On the other hand, why would an 18 year old get sucked in by a cult that teaches you to hate your parents? At least some of that is on you. Doesn't let the cult off the hook, but the cult doesn't let you off the hook either.[/quote]

I see your point about the cult you cited as an example.

How and why did e.g. Charles Manson's 'followers' get involved In their cult-like community? They were all young people, and presumably from different backgrounds.
Was it time-related, i.e. late 1960s, or related to their backgrounds and upbringing?
And it's not just Manson's group of people. There have been other 'cults', in other countries and continents.[/quote]
