Many of us have poured out our hearts because we have been cruelly treated by our children or their partners. We thought we were talking to sympathetic 'friends'. Sometimes we related how we had tried to help our families in various ways - financial, with childcare, emotionally, etc.
It is very upsetting to read that some people believe we have 'repeatedly' said what kind deeds we have done, when we were just trying to give a full picture of our family dynamics.
I am assured that the comment was just a generalisation and was not intended to refer to any specific member. Why make it at all if it was not intended to be hurtful?
Similarly, none of the accusations of bullying, arrogance, cliques, etc. were ever directed at any specific members - allegedly.
Perhaps it would be better if such generalised accusations were not made as some people do feel they are personal attacks.
Of course these comments are not directed at anyone in particular, they are just generalisations.
