[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like their parents did something wrong. [/quote]

maybe they did. if they did, they were too nice and accommodating and didn't teach them to respect their parents. in any case, it's not really helpful at this point.

I often see this point made on here but my personal observation is that it's not true. People who have good relationships with their kids when they are kids and teens tend to have good relationships with them as adults. I don't know anyone who just randomly turned out to be a jerk to their parents after their parents were very good to them. I have one friend who I thought was kind of entitled towards her parents but I found out last year they used to literally whip her with a belt. So now I get it.[/quote]

Most of us got spanked. I deserved far more of them than I got. That's not a justification. [/quote]

So if an AC was spanked with a belt throughout their childhood, they aren’t justified in being cold and irritated to the parent when they are in adulthood?

I really have no advice for OP because I have no idea what is really going on. But the idea that a parent can abuse their child (and consistent spanking with a belt is  abuse), but in adulthood the child is required to be gracious and accommodating and polite is messed up. My dad made some big mistakes when I was younger and I have let them go and we have a strong relationship, but he certainly wasn’t abusive. Maybe I am just an entitled millennial though. [/quote]
