Reply #100: Why even mention they are boomers?

There are strange people in every generation. My grandmother was a bigot from the south but my dad managed to grow up, develop a good relationship with her and didn't have a bigoted bone in his body. She was also abusive.

My mother was abusive. When I was a kid, there weren't child abuse laws, but today, my mother would likely lose custody of her kids. My sister still has physical scars from abuse at the hands of our mother.

I merely chose to be an adult, focus on the positive and have a good relationship with my parents. That was the point of my post. You can dwell on the negative and hate them or try to find common ground and develop an adult relationship. The one thing I know for sure is you will miss them when they are gone.
