In real life, blood ties, while close, are not indestructible. In some families, the misbehaviour of parents and children leads to a breakdown of the relationship, even more distant than that of strangers.
This is truly regrettable. People who could have been together for decades and walked through the journey of life together ended up like this. In fact, the relationship between parents and children breaks down often because of three things.
There are reasons for these things, and if you don't want to live a bleak life in your old age, you need to try to avoid these things from happening.
In families with many children, a balanced distribution of resources is crucial. Even if a family is poor, there is no need to worry, but if a bowl of water is uneven, it will lead to disagreement between children.
Some families originally had a good relationship, but because of the preference of their parents, they focused their resources on one child and neglected the other children, and finally the bullied child became dissatisfied and the relationship broke down.
It's not something that can be solved with a few words. For example, if parents send their daughters to poor universities in order to support their sons' marriages as soon as possible, this kind of resource allocation will almost certainly lead to family breakdowns, tensions between children, and arrogance in sons.
In real life, if there is a clear partiality between parents, especially in terms of money and resources, then family harmony is almost impossible to achieve, and the relationship between children and with parents will break down.
The relationship between parents and children is usually very close and not easily broken. However, unless there is some major event that causes one party to feel disappointed and chilled.
These major events are often caused by character problems of one party. This is the case with an uncle I know. His son spent half of his life savings in business, but he was not grateful at all.
When the uncle was sick and hospitalized, his son still pushed back and refused to even take a look. Therefore, after being discharged from the hospital, the uncle severed relations with his son, lived separately, and no longer corresponded.
In real life, people's hearts are flesh and cannot withstand serious damage. If one of the parents or children is of bad character and causes serious harm, then the breakdown of the relationship is almost inevitable.
In real life, the relationship between parents and children can sometimes become distant or even broken. This is not because of the big event that the sky fell apart, but because some small contradictions in daily life continue to accumulate, which eventually leads to the estrangement of the relationship.
Just like the relationship between some acquaintances, it may be due to some small conflicts and unpleasant interactions, which make the relationship with each other gradually cold. This is not uncommon in real life.
In some families, due to the wrong way of getting along and the accumulation of conflicts, the relationship between parents and children eventually breaks down, or even tears the face. If the parties can realize the seriousness of the problem early and take positive measures to make amends, they may be able to salvage this broken family relationship.
