Why are my parents, both around 50, so emotionally immature and manipulative as discussed in the episode and the clip? I've been able to meditate, journal, and better myself, even overcoming my own manipulation habits. Why don't they want to change to treat us better?
It's crazy to think they got together with their problems, didn't fix them, and then had children, putting all their problems and pain on us. Are they really that far gone, thinking their children are responsible for every bad thing happening, or do they genuinely believe it's right to scream at their children?
