Has anyone had the experience of choosing to see less - rather than more - of a parent as they get older?
I have one surviving parent who is in the latter part of their 80s. It was after the death of my other parent that I started realising the two of them had been a damaging couple. Athough the surviving one is, on the surface quite 'nice', there is a very great deal that I cannot forgive.
However my parent would certainly not welcome any conversation that would involve discussion of the past. So at present I am keeping them rather at arm's length....
