I can. I even apologize to my children when I do.
Some parents do and some don’t. Parents are just humans like anyone else, they most certainly can and do fuck up along the way at times. Some people don’t like to admit they are wrong (parent or not). I personally think it’s important to be able to admit to my children when I am wrong or if I reacted to something in a way I shouldn’t have. I tell them all the time, everyone makes mistakes (even grown ups). I apologize, we talk things through, and move forward

@sugarpie I’m sorry that is how it is for you. My parents were much the same. I don’t speak to my father at all, but my mother has apologized to me in my adult life about some of the stuff that occurred. I did cut her out of my life for a bit of time, but allowed her back in and she has admitted to a lot of the mistakes she made as a mother, we have a good understanding at this point in my life. We are actually pretty damn close, and she is great as a Noni (my kids grandmother)
Maybe some day you will be able to have a heart to heart with them and feel heard ❤️
