1. They did not do their best. 2. They could have done better but they chose not to, that’s not okay.

Children should never have to carry the weight of their parents emotional immaturity.

I can’t get to this acceptance… bc I didn’t have that support either but I figured it out and did much better for my own kids. They could’ve done the same but didn’t.

Funny thing.. Our parents never got the emotional support or love from their parents and it was passed down to us- so Why is it that we can make the decision to go to therapy and our parents can’t?

My parents did not do the best they could. And when they learned how much pain they caused they refused to change or apologize or take accountability. I’ll let them, but without me

There’s a difference between incompetence and abuse. I will never accept how I was treated.

To a certain degree. Why is it that change is only expected of younger generations. Boomers don’t get an excuse because that’s the cards they were dealt. They are the oldest and #1

I have come to terms I can’t fix/change my Mom. After decades of emotional abuse-told her I need an apology, which she refuses, have gone no contact w/ her. She takes 0 accountability. I’m done.

Come on. We all “do our best”. Doesn’t mean we have to carry them emotionally our entire lives.

No. At some point the parents should realize what they caused and reflect not continue causing pain.

No! This is just excusing them. Your experience isn’t all of hours

I didn’t understand my parents staying all those years until now. They did it for me. They did their best.

But why does that fall on the child? Maybe people shouldn’t be having kids if they don’t have enough support and love to give.

mm.. But there's loads of parents nowadays who didn't get emotional support but do give it to THEIR children.. No excuses! They just didn't do their best. There was a lot of help available.

Nor were we… I don’t need to parent my mother or accept her dysfunction. It’s why so many of us are just silently moving on.

My mom has started reading books about healing inner child and controlling anger. It was so weird. And awesome to see. Because she’s always been so anti that stuff

Having to change would require them to admit they made mistakes which most ppl independent of their generation simply have an ego problem with

I can understand that but at some point they are responsible for their own healing/trauma just like we are. I’m not required to accept their behavior if I have expressed their impact over and over.
