[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of dysfunctional people who cannot maintain or have relationships have children with the expectation that the child will now be tied to them for life, beholden to them for providing basic food, water, shelter, etc, and forced to tolerate their issues in a way no one else will.

So, for someone like OP, who is admittedly all alone on Easter and has no close relationships to provide her with fulfillment, she is outraged that the daughter she feels owes her attention and love by sheer virtue of the fact that she was a parent, is not playing into the bargain. It's not so much love but a sense of ownership and obligation.

They are not willing to do the work to unpack their own tendencies and what makes them so unable to maintain relationships in general.  So they just blame their kids and try to make them out to be cruel, selfish, etc, rather than admitting that people in general are exhausted and frustrated with their selfish behavior. [/quote]

It is dysfunctional to believe that children  (barring abuse) maintain lifelong ties with their parents?

What the hell is wrong with your generation?.[/quote]

You just created two questions unilaterally based on your preferences and pretenses, and the way your formed them reveals their preformed (by you) answers. You just had a full, entire.conversation with yourself.[/quote]
