    I understand where you’re coming from. My parents also have this habit of never taking responsibility for their actions, and the only time they do that is when they are asked to. They constantly say that Nigel and Naomi have no-one to blame but themselves for the state of their relationship with their parents, and say that whenever they were hit, they “got what they deserved, and are lucky they didn’t get worse.”

    Dear Myles:

    If this is the best they could (and can) do with what they have (you wrote that in your post before last), then it is not good enough. This statement, quite commonly expressed: they-did-the-best-they-could, if it is true, then it is true to all people. Every single person, at any moment in time, is doing the best he/she can. And so, if it is true for everyone, what is the point of stating this?

    It is like saying: they breathe, they eat- so what… everyone does.

    I understand that, but I do not want to carry around resentment with me forever, so I guess that was just my way reminding myself that my parents are just trying to get through this thing called life and that they weren’t doing anything to intentionally hurt me.

    Dear Myles:

    I understand. I hope you “get through this thing called life” doing-no-harm to others, and (regarding doing the best that one can do…. ) that being non-aggressive/non abusive is indeed the best that you can and will do.
