So I have two baby-boomer parents, but I'm not allowed to say that; and yes, I've been told that my dad is technically not a boomer, but try telling that to him or his siblings. They all refer to themselves that way. Whatever. My mother is an "official" baby-boomer.

You were okay with me describing them as RW, Rapture-Happy, and Militant, but get in a huff with me describing what era they're from. Where did I say that I detest the baby-boomer generation? I see a definite pattern here of reading comprehension disabilities.

You also obviously didn't read the other posts in this thread. There's no way you would be able to accuse me of "disrespecting an entire generation" if you did.

And then you claim to know what my parents have done. I didn't want to get into all this, but several of you turned this post about being raised RW into a Dr. Phil segment on working things out with the parents - so I felt inclined to defend myself. Thank you for that.

Hey - if after a lifetime of abuse by your parents, you want to continue a relationship, no one's stopping you; but to judge others because they have chosen a different path is just wrong. Sounds to me like you're stuck in a toxic relationship and don't know how to get out of it. Good luck.
