[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never experienced this from my own kids  (3 boys) at all. I don't know why but I feel lucky.

[b]I was definitely this way towards my dad in my teens and into my 20s. It was due to feeling controlled and judged by him. I am sure I was oversensitive to some extent but he also had little filter. He has gotten so much better about this as he is older and I also can let things slide much better. [/b]I am the oldest of 3 girls. My youngest sister was similar with my dad.

We never had issues with our moms. She was/is perfect. [/quote]
I was the same way. I had divorced, emotionally immature parents who were very judgmental but didn't actually have the tools to be supportive of give real guidance. I was very depressed after experiencing a significant trauma that went unaddressed.  They both remarried and in hindsight I feel like they prioritized their new spouses over their kids. My brother is 5 years younger and has a slightly better relationship with them. Now that I am older and the parent of a teen I can see how life was hard for both of my parents and I feel empathy.
