> In some sense, I know it's my fault: I'm basically telling them that their bloodline ends here, I hope they enjoyed their transient acknowledgement on this earth while it lasts. That's a tough pill to swallow for a generation that's all about making the idyllic "50s family" a reality.
That is an uncommonly insightful and empathetic characterization.
- ahartmetz 5y agoI think fault implies intention, so I wouldn't call it fault. It's just a conflict of life goals and personal properties that no one particularly chose to have. Though I also approve of the intention of GP to understand the situation from their parents' perspective.
- throwaway894345 5y agoAgreed.
