Somehow some parents expect the same kind of love from the children towards their parents, which is retarded, because that's not how species survive. For example, i don't expect my children to love me after they have grown up, but i will expect that they will love their children.
Relationships are hard. My family are not biological. It's old friends etc. However I would do all I can for my kids and even my ex. Just how I am I guess. I don't need or even want them to reciprocate. I do love and respect some of you people tho. Somehow I trust, respect and love you lunatics. I can talk with goats about things I would never discuss with someone else. Relationships are hard.
Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, holy fucking shit. What was she like during the trial? I don't remember hearing about it. Did she not show any remorse? British nobility hates that no matter what it relates to.
And that’s ok, man. Let that experience give you strength, and know when the time comes to love someone, do it with all your soul because you know from experience what the alternative does to a person. This doesn’t mean that there is no chance of getting hurt, but know you gave it your all.
I reconnected with my sister about ten years back and it was amazing. After I was kicked out of the house, my Mom eventually turned her anger on my sister.
Be careful about trauma bonding with her. That wouldn't be a good relationship to have. Sounds like your mother is a narcissist, and she should be left all alone to wallow in misery.
You should be careful of love to love with everything is to love madly. Children are called dependents because they depend on you for shelter food and education. Because of that they depend on you to show them how to live a good life.
Yep. My children owe me nothing and I expect nothing. Despite pouring the majority of my time, energy, and money into raising them ... they are their own people.
This is just a microcosm of a broader healthy and successful society.
Thanks. My woman is struggling with the fact that she loves her children way more than they love her. I've tried unsuccessfully to explain that is how it is. Children are by necessity selfish, just because they are adults doesn't change the fact that they are still her CHILDREN.

How do I know this? Because you hate your parents, thus you will act in a way that your children will not hate you.

That family dynamic doesn't change.
