[quote=Anonymous]I think most adults can get over most things that happened when they were kids, except for serious abuse.  I think parents, including mine, get cut off for how they treat their adult kids.  My parents just can't seem to be consistently kind to me.  I've tried all sorts of boundaries until I finally gave up and put more distance between us.

I still feel bad about it, but then realize that my parents can't maintain any relationships.  They'll make friends and be friendly with someone for at most 1-2 years and then the relationship spectacularly implodes.   We moved a bunch when I was growing up, which disguised the problem, but it's become more clear over the years.  My mom is unstable and invents fake storylines in her head about people and events and my dad can't relate to anyone and just repeats the same handful of tired stories about himself (he's most certainly on the spectrum).  I wish we could have a relationship but they are just so...ugh.  They'll be nice for a bit and then you don't know what hit you.  Drama.  Accusations. Insults.  Criticism.  Ugh.[/quote]
