I look around at a culture of people terrified to speak with their parents about anything of significance because there’s no mutual trust between them, and it makes sense why people feel so alone out in the world.

Growing up I was always pretty horrified that my friends and their parents seemingly lived in the same house but never spoke. Their parents would find things out from mine, because they were more comfortable in our home. It was sad to watch.

Grew up that way. It’s horrifying from the inside, too.

Some of my girl friends would act like things were okay. Some of them would break down crying at random. Why do people have children just to never speak to them? I've never quite understood that. Now that I'm older I realize how lucky my brother and I were.

It’s a generational growth of detachment stemming back to WWI as the generations forgot how to show love, then misinterpreted silence and distance as lack of love, to Boomers reacting angrily to perceived rejection, to GenX lost and insecure, to millennials seeking approval.

It’s not really people purposely neglecting their kids. It’s people who crave to have families but whose families have forgotten how to show love and develop intimacy.

People would come to family gatheries and find it weird everyone in my family hugged to say hello and goodbye. They'd never experienced it. Your original post is accurate, families have been destroyed. It's no wonder people are so broken.

They truly have. And we need to heal them.
