[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also was disappointed by the scene between Nate and his dad. In real life, cold and withholding parents don’t just all a sudden open up to you and tell you you’re a genius and that they know they were cold and withholding and they just want you to be happy. Rather, you have to learn to move forward without their approval and forgive them for being flawed, realizing it never was about you but about them. [/quote]

I’m sorry for your experience, but it’s not everybody’s experience. The dad opened up and apologized. No, he didn’t cry or even hug Nate. And the scenes with them playing cards around the table show he’s trying.

It’s a start, and it’s also plausible, maybe because there were no dramatic tears or hugs. It’s also in keeping with the show’s theme of growth. Please don’t make everything about your own experiences. [/quote]

I’m expressing my opinion of this show based on my experiences in life, which I’m pretty sure is what everyone else on here is doing. I have not done a study. But I would hypothesize that the percent of people whose parents suddenly opened up after 40+ years of cold and withholding behavior is…low. It did not feel like a character driven plot to me. It felt like a storyline driven plot. YMMV. [/quote]

Can't we have a single oasis where we don't have to listen to "my parents sucked so all parents suck especially if they're boomers?"[/quote]
