[quote=Anonymous]I have limited contact with my parents. I am not angry any more, but I just don't trust them at all. I have encouraged my daughter to have a relationship with them, but they're not really able to maintain relationships, so she's distant too. My parents are boomers and I have this theory that the post-WW II generation carries a lot of trauma - parents who went to war & came back totally screwed up & unable to parent, etc. I can tell they are both very damaged people and in many ways they can't help it. We just had a family wedding where my sib insisted on inviting them. It was VERY obvious there is nothing between us - 1 person came up and flat out asked me & another sib why we aren't close to them. We can't afford to be close. They can't be trusted. I'm also not a millennial, wtf? [/quote]
