Mizz Magpie :
Spot on. We are struggling with damage from our boomer parents and simultaneously trying SO HARD to reverse course with our own kids.

Sonia :
GenX here. I'm pretty sure the majority of us are in therapy, just doing it alone as we always have.

You realize that they had to create a commercial to ask our parents where we were at 10 pm? Born in 61 but more Gen X/Jones than Boomer.

ItsJennay :
Gen x mom here. I think it’s because we never were helped with anything when we were kids. We always had to figure it out.

Kimc :
And I think lack of family therapy is always feeling like we have to fix ourselves first, not wanting to blame our kids like our parents blamed us

Sage :
I am gen Z with gen X parents who have always refused therapy/doctors due to mistrust of authority. The attachment issues trickle down 😭

Dirtydishes17 :
Gen X here. We’re latchkey kids who raised ourselves and had to parent both our parents and our siblings before we then became parents. We’re used to

That1blondegirl :
We’ve (GenX) always had to do everything on our own. Swallow our emotions, and make sure everyone else is ok. I think a lot of us are trying

heyitsfranbo :
Gen X here. We don't do family therapy because we assume we are the problem anyway. Hence the individual therapy.

robyn87pens :
Gen X here as well. We raised ourselves & pride ourselves so fiercly in our independence. But now we can't ask for help when we really need it.

Claire Heidi :
GenX. My child has been and is one of my greatest teachers. I’m honored he trusts me to grow with him. Doing the work is love as a verb.

We have always had to work things out for ourselves

Izzie H :
Me- injured, hurt, nosebleed. Mom-“What did you do to deserve it”. Dad- “ Stop that crying or I’ll give you something to cry about”. -GenX

Kellie Fuller :
Gen X – couples therapy and my own therapy to process childhood trauma. I was terrified of being a bad parent. I have worked hard at it, but always…

Andi :
A lot of us were neglected/ignored so we don’t know how UNTIL we get individual therapy. We see ourselves as the problem. That’s why individual.

Sarek :
Gen X parent. We recognize the damage caused by previous generations. We were demonized and then we watched the exact same happen to millennials.

I wonder what the differences are between boomer parent / gen X kid vs boomer parent / Mil kid. The older & younger of each gen…

Jesse.Coop.El :
I'm right on the edge of GenX/Millennial, and my ex is 5 years older. He's essentially a Boomer in parenting style, and I admit I did the same things

Nuanced Millennial :
Just for clarity, gen X was mostly raised by silent generation, not boomers. There are some outliers always, but that’s how generation stacks work.

not here to amuse you :
Gen x here, unlike most of us I had access to therapy early due to a parent who was present. I continued for about 20 years off and on, even doing
