You suck. You are a terrible terrible person. You absolutely suck.[/quote]

You don’t know what kind of relationship PP has with his/her parents to form this opinion.

I am really tired of posters presuming their relationship with their parents is in any way indicative of another person’s relationship.

Adult children have a right to undertake actions that limit dependence of bad people based on past actions. Even if that bad person is family Children who survived physical or mental abuse, neglect, alcoholism, drug abuse, etc are under no obligation to allow someone to re-inflect that behavior simply because they old and they share blood.

So stop telling people they suck without attempting to gain an understanding of why someone hold these views about a family member. Stop making people feel bad for protecting their own physical and mental well being (and likely that of their own spouse/children).

Empathy works both ways. [/quote]
