all good things...

Here is a discussion for you.

At what point in your life, do you figuratively throw your hands up in the air and become fully aware to both yourself, and your relationship with your parents that the two of you are worlds apart - and there is nothing to bring you closer.

Although it sounds rather harsh, but the arguement is this - is there ever a time where there is such a profound amount of evidence siting that you and they/he/she are completely different people - leading completely different lifestyles - with completely different morals and opinions.......... that allows you to accept it, and move forward with your life acknowledging there will never be a closeness between you.

Keeping in mind of all the truths, how they brought you into this world and raised you. How they loved you, and no matter what will always be your parents. Yadda yadda. This is all well said.

But after scraping the bottom of the barrel - does there come a time of mere acceptance of the terms?
Or do you keep on trying.

In my opinion there are two risks involved.
1) that one day they will decease, and you will forever wish you had of tried just that one more time;
2) that you will forever be miserable every waking hour you spend with them, so much that at the time of their passing, the stormcloud of misery far exceeds the amount of sorrow that should be in your heart.

Nonetheless,
even in the animal kingdom - our mammal ancestors, parent and child eventually go their seperate ways.
When do we.
