[quote=Anonymous]People are being so hard on OP. I’m exhausted by the parentification accusations. OP does not want her daughter to be responsible for her, she wants to be treated with respect and love. That will look different in different families, and particularly if there are mental health, ND, or addiction issues. The idea that young adults have absolutely no responsibilities to their families, especially their mothers, is not healthy. Of course the college student is primarily focused on that, but they can and should have some kind of respectful communication with parents, and some gratitude for what they receive. The idea of a mother as someone who is perpetually perfect, meets every need as if a young adult is an infant, and has no feelings even when treated badly is deeply misogynistic. In my other home country we have some work to do with how men view partners (true most places), but there is a basic expectation of respect for mothers. [/quote]
