Yes, there were a few times at the end of my marriage that I spent time at my mom's house (by that time my dad had died).....we were like oil & water & explosions would happen just like when I was growing up. I think actually distance with parents is a good thing.....it keeps things tolerable. I could never go & visit my daughter & stay with her. It is not worth having the clashes.....& it is OK. We just need to acknowledge that tbis is just the way it is & accept is & not let other people pressure yiu into thinking ut is wrong. Every relationship has it's individual dynamic.....& that is ok to acknowledge even when we widh it wasn't like that.
