How many of y'all are estranged from your parents as adults. I rarely talk to my parents myself, maybe four or five times a year.

My mother is a malignant narcissist that raised me to be a doormat so that it was easier for her to control me and keep me from imposing any kind of burden on her.
That was the most important thing to her growing up, not being burdened by her own son.
This caused me all kinds of issues as an adult and I went from one exploitative relationship to another. where I essentially did the work of both partners to keep the relationship in tact.
There's a growing trends among millennials and Gen Z to go no contact with their parents.
The old belief that parenthood was inherently noble is falling apart as awareness about emotional abuse and dysfunctional households grows.
How does this make me feel? Is your relationship with your parents good or strained?
Should adult children cut their parents off if they feel they were raised poorly by them? Should adult children have an obligation to stand by their parents and understand that they did the best they could? Or should there maybe be some middle ground between those two choices?
AI also opens up an interesting opportunities for an estranged parents. Estranged parents can now have a simulacra of their children in their lives, even if their own real adult children have abandoned them. Filling the void that might otherwise be left behind in their lives, Is it unethical for the estranged parents to do this? Should they accept their solitude as some sort of punishment, Or is it fine as a coping mechanism over a relationship destroyed by them that they are most likely are never going to be able to reconcile.

Irony is, family life was more dysfunctional in the "good old days".
It was common for newborn daughters to be killed or neglected. Children born with disabilities were cast aside.

Parents would throw out their eldest child after having a handful of children they cannot sustain


People nowadays whine about not being able to find a mate.
They have no idea how lucky the are to be single and childless.

Too many adults feel entitled to pass off their genes without any prior home training.
