[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have done nothing for me in many years.  Even in a crisis they wouldn't help out with our easy child even for an hour despite being healthy and living five minutes away (at their insistence).  If we had an emergency financially, they'd never help either.  They are mean to me, to put it nicely.  What should I be grateful for except my ability to distance myself?[/quote]

New poster here.  I don’t believe you, to be honest.  There are always two sides to every story.  [/quote]

If there are two sides to every story, why are you so convinced that this PP's story is false? Even if the PP's parents would have another spin on this that might add context (maybe they'd say that the PP needs less help than a sibling who has more issues and therefore they are more hands off, or maybe they'd say that what PP interprets as meanness is tough love, etc.) but why would you assume the PP's factual statements about the help they have not received and their parents health and proximity are false?

Nothing is black and white, but it's extremely weird to just completely disregard someone's description of their own life. They obviously know much better than you do.[/quote]
