Many estranged parents are not capable of this level of honest self-reflection. They will insist that everyone would think they’re great and the most loving parents on the planet.

The Unwife :
Here’s what I think my adult kids would say: She’s a martyr. She didn’t speak up. I don’t want to be a mother because of what I saw her go through. She’s weak. She catered to my dad. She was miserable. Also, I’m angry she divorced him.

Off topic (sorta). I’m estranged from my entire family of Orion. Parents, siblings, grands, ext relatives. The whole tribe. I was drowning with all the substance abuse, financial disasters. Plain meanness. My.brother died. I’m not in the obit. Other sisters named. Me? No mention And actually - it’s freeing to me. I’m untethered. (I know not an this video but I thought about you )

We didn’t set enough boundaries for them as children and gave them everything they wanted and we tried to make them happier than we felt as children. Now they don’t know how to handle dissatisfaction with the world around them. They are not happy because they don’t control everyone around them. This no contact is just a way to keep control over others that they know love them. When they don’t get what they want but get what they ask for it becomes the other person’s fault. Using words like accountability or respect boundaries is just their therapist “buzzwords “ which makes them feel smarter somehow. But they still don’t understand why they are not able to communicate with others. What they never learned was compromising and accepting others and unconditional love. It’s really sad.

I can imagine my parent: “I don’t care because kids don’t know anything. I’m here to show them how they’re wrong.”

I don't know but my neighbor kid tells me I am a good mom and very motherly! but real answer is I am a good listener. I think about Thier emotional experience.I struggle with reacting quickly, I have a slow reaction time sometimes. I also can be forgetful.

One of the things I think about is how I work with many people who are the same age as my adult children and how the relationship with them differs from those I am a mum to

Took 40 years and one incident of my cousin seeing how mean my mom could be for her to go no contact. I'm still trying, but of course my effort isn't acknowledged.
