@audreyay5835 yup, I used to feel very bad for not having a great relationship with my parents, but now I realize they're not perfect people. I'm happy for what they did, but why would I spend time with my parents just because I was born to them? If they were serial killers would I treat it the same way? At some point, you can only do so much. It's just not possible to be authentic with everyone. Sure, maybe friends and people you've chosen, but your parents aren't people you choose. You cant force your authentic self on them and for the sake of a life long interaction, some authenticity is lost.

@autumnmusic22 I pray with my mom. She knows I hate religion with a passion, don't believe in God, and that by her forcing me to pray with her, if only furthers my hate for religion. But we can fight about it and I can be my authentic self, knowing full well it's something she can't accept, and ostracize family. Or I can fake it for both of our benefits. At a certain point, you choose the lesser of evils. Life has compromise, you don't always get to do what's best for you. That's the thing newer generations don't seem to get. Not everything you do makes you happy
