[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 667270, member: 17461"] Are your parents respectful of you, A dad? Are the parents yelling because they are hard of hearing, or because they are angry? What do you think the feelings of condescension represent? Do you wish you could feel differently about your parents? Do you feel the sense of condescension for both your parents, or only for one parent? What would happen, do you think, if you brought your parents something nice that they would enjoy and told them how much you love them? Maybe, you could include your son on choosing something the grands would enjoy, and in bringing it to their home, too. How do you think your parents would feel if you changed the rules of relationship in this way? Would they be happy that you had done this for them, or do you feel they would ridicule your gift and the thought that went into choosing it? There is no shame in choosing a better way to interact with those we love. If you do try to change the relationships in this way and your parents do not take it well, we are here listen, and to support you. Sometimes, the hardest words to say to our people we love are that we do love them, and that we are happy they are in our lives. Your concern regarding the intergenerational patterns of condescension you have discovered suggests that you are a loving father, and a loving son to your own parents. I think yours must be a very nice family. Cedar [/QUOTE]
