[quote=Anonymous]I think about this a lot.   Every time I see my parents I wonder how it is that I dislike them as people, so much.  It goes beyond politics (one parent is insanely pro trump).  It goes to the core of who they are:   Selfish, anxious, narcissistic, needing reassurance, gaslighters (the last one is the biggest problem imo).   I often wonder — probably to an unhealthy degree — why it is that I realized at about age 5 that I didn’t like them, and stuck with that, whereas some children of these types of parents become just like their parents and want to see them often.  I don’t get it, and I don’t understand what it was that at 5 years old made me dislike them, each in different ways, despite having no terrible abuse (just minor neglect).   My DH is tired of me talking about this every time I see them.   I can’t even get through a dinner with them without feeling revolted.   Everything comes back to their view that people are fat and lazy.   They even said it out loud at our last dinner in a restaurant and I was embarrassed for our whole table.   But this is not new.   I listened to an interview with Kathleen Hannah who just matter of fact stated that she new at an early age she didn’t like her dad.  I guess I knew that too.  It makes me sad and also curious how this could be!!!  I need therapy. [/quote]
