[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641864, member: 1550"] It is new that we talk about spurned and abused parents. It used to only be parents who could abuse, never the grown children. It is validating to me to see that this old fallacy is not true. I am thinking of Scott, who said good-bye after having been given a good life. And I relate to the woman in this thread who said she didn't want her adult children back in her life at all unless they realized they had been terribly abusive. I feel that way about Scott. I also related to the woman who was upset about her sister's estrangement. However, I feel she wasn't listening to her sister, who made some good points and was trying to tell her "I can't keep up with your lifestyle. It's too hard." In this case, I took it upon myself to judge her post ;) and decide her sister had a point, but she did too. Just made me feel more strongly about DNA not meaning love/understanding/a bond/somebody who will always be there for you no matter what. Lots of good reading there. Not so much help or good advice, like here, but tons of sharing. [/QUOTE]
