Why Parents Abuse (Audio)

Wednesday Night Live 12 July 2023 <br> <br>My parents were neglectful, not physically or verbally abusive in any way. There was just... nothing. My mom left the family and was out of my life from 8-18. My dad remarried and 5 more children. I have a lot of feelings of loss and sadness within that extended family. I'm glad I notice this, but what are some blind spots I should be aware of? Especially in regards to my own parenting? <br> <br>Any advice for a person who constantly ruminates over a past betrayal/exploitation, with no acknowledgement or apology from the perpetrator.
