These sort of parents can also teach you that people aren't interested in you.

You feel misunderstood and become highly efficient in communication. Because you feel like you need to explain yourself extremely well for you to be seen 🥺

As soon as somebody says to me, does that make sense? I immediately know their childhood.

Has no interest in communicating with you is usually the case unless you’re saying something they want to hear. Then, they’re literally all ears. Try it….Start with flattery and see how quickly you get their attention. Then follow it up with something that’s important to you and see how quickly you lose their attention.

Not everyone has the capacity to educate themselves or others. Being a parent is quite the journey. I have a versatile education yet my child was more advanced than me in grade six. Possibly having a child later in life moves us further away. Things change quickly. Being open minded helps.

This was me with my ex husband. We spoke two different languages. I thought I was going insane until I met an emotionally mature man

I grew up with this. As soon as I put myself in their shoes, I realized they did not know how to handle their emotions & I had more empathy for them rather than getting upset with them.

This made me cry😭 I just realized I’ve become an excellent communicator because I’m surrounded by emotionally immature people.

This. Me with my 70 yr old mother this past weekend! I can think of all the things I should’ve said afterwards but in the moment, I do get confused on what I’m trying to get across because she either completely shuts down, deflects or turns it around on me. Beyond frustrating 😕

Basically summarized my whole adult life dealing with my parents. I was always seen as the problem just for saying what's bothering me or setting a boundary. You learn to just stay quiet but it still eats you up inside.

I feel very seen. Thank you. I am trying to understand myself but this is the exact explanation of it. I am basically a wallpaper when I have a talk with my mother and she react as if I didn't exist.

My parents immediately interrupt. They wont listen. All i want is someone to listen not to get talked back to. And they’re religious so all i get is “well if you went back to church” or they will say “i don’t remember doing or saying that” when i tell them about what they did or “well thats the past so stop talking about it”

Your parents are doing the best they can, just like their parents before them.
