This is just a warning that millennials and younger generations may not have enough ego strength to handle the direct questions. Millennials can get upset with the questions of concern and love and blame the questioner for being “critical” and “judgemental.”

I remember being asked direct questions about my life and career in my 20s and 30s, knowing the questions were out of concern. I could also tell the difference between being criticized and judged or questioned about my choices. If I didn’t have the answers, I knew that was my issue, not the questioners. I also knew the difference between external and internal pressures.

Millennials and GenZ, Sometimes, a questioner, even out of concern, don’t need your answer. If you don't have an answer or want to answer, the best response is to redirect the conversation to something you are willing and ready to talk about. (setting healthy boundaries)

GenX and Boomers, It is good to be mindful during the holidays that the younger generations cannot handle direct questions. Millennials are struggling with mental health issues more than the silent generation (1929-1945) ever did. The silent generation grew up in the great depression and a world war. (leading with empathy)

Everyone deserves to be loved and understood. People with personality disorders struggle with predisposed genetic vulnerabilities and, more often than not, early traumatic experiences. Awareness can support a person with a personality disorder to gain insight and treatment. Love and support from family members are also crucial to healing.

If you have cut off a parent, take a look at the parent or grandparent who told you to choose them over your other parent that you cut off. It is not natural for children or adult children to cut themselves off from a parent. Children who are abused will cling to the abusive parent, not cut them off.

Watch all the way through. It is never too late too heal. You can have balanced relationships with multiple family members. Seek out a trained professional who can help you reconnect to your parent.
