Toxic

This got the most comments ever on Facebook the other day!  I guess everyone has the same drama….Why is it that when an adult child decides not to have a relationship with a parent, people always say, "But she’s your mom," or "He’s your dad—you only have one"? No one ever asks, "What might the parent have done to cause this?" or "How did the parent’s actions affect the relationship?" It’s like the child is always expected to keep the relationship going, no matter what. But being a parent doesn’t mean you’re blameless, and sometimes walking away is what’s best for the child.
