    My parents were kind of like that. Better in some ways, worse in others.

    What did I do? I moved 3,000 miles away from them and built a new life far far away from them. I got married and had a baby and by the time that baby was in elementary school, I had cut my parents off completely. I tried for the first few years of my child’s life to force ourselves into their life. I came to a point where I just stopped trying to force my parents to be grandparents to my child. My kid is 15 and doesn’t even know what they look like or sound like, and I’m really proud of that. Most importantly, we are happy.
