[quote=Anonymous]I mean sure there is no way to know 100%, but I'd say one has a pretty good idea how things are when the kids leave the home. We don't need to pretend that we don't know at all, right? I think it's healthy to come to terms with bad parenting and feeling negative feelings over it. It's way better than pretending that everything's great, when it isn't. I personally am not thinking of this every day, but I also haven't forgiven, partly because nobody's taken responsibility. There is a difference between "mistakes" and being a nasty and neglectful parent. And no, my friends parents didn't behave the same way, so I can say with certainty that it's not generational. But you know what, I can live with all of that and I have by treating my own kids with more kindness. Being kind and open to listening to another human, considering your child as another human being with their own wants and needs does not change over time. My parents however are finally facing the reality of you reap what you sow and you know what, I'm fine with that as well. [/quote]
