[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say they dislike their parents and then amazingly find something to blame the parents for 50 years earlier, do it because they don't want to be responsible for caregiving.  Just looking for excuses.  A lot are afraid of old age and find it repulsive, so avoiding old people is another reason.  [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs. This isn’t it. It’s not that you suddenly find something wrong after 50 years — the wrong was always there. (I promise that if you were to be dropped into my home circa 1978 you would see it immediately, and in all sorts of ways).

It’s that you are now being pulled backwards into it, having built something new, and better. And now, unlike then, you can articulate to yourself exactly what the wrong was, how it affected you, and what could have been instead. Yes, you felt it then, but you were a kid. This was the only home you’d ever had. So you couldn’t possibly have the kind of clarity or vocabulary you have at 50+. [/quote]
