    Not really, my dad’s a jackass and I don’t owe him anything.
    I understand why some people support their aging parents, I also can understand when they don’t.
    Like most things, it’s a matter of consent.

      That’s totally fair and you’re right. My mistake is assuming people are good parents and that their children love them.

        No worries, it’s not easy to imagine that kind of thing if you have a good relationship with your parents.

        This is an article about an Olympian whose parents, both birth parents, failed her and her sister. They focused on drugs/alcohol instead of being a parent.

        I wouldn’t want anything to do with her mom either. Her grandparents were her caregivers growing up. They should get love from her. They raised her.
