Brain child.
I was a child of a happily married couple. At least for 25 years. Well for ten it was happy and for 15 more it was married. Then they got divorced. I'm the middle of three children. I'm now a parent of two children. My husband is an only child. I've just come to realize, we are a generation of supposedly, check the box, married with children adults. I now, just this moment, came to understand, we should be categorized with the, "other" column.
I'm an orphan. Maybe not by definition. But I'm maybe more desperate than an orphan. My parents don't know that they don't know how to be parents. I will check the box that says I have parents. But they are parents in the box only. That's how I would like to start this blog.
Are you an adult, coming to terms with seeing your parents as "not parents"? Then for now, we see ourselves in a similar place. I'll talk about this path.
