I don't blame you for feeling enraged and angry, very frustrated about your parents (people, in my view, who should put their childrens needs and put their childrens trust in them, very high on the priority list) always making excuses to remain focused on not being available to talk. To talk! One of the simplist things in the world to do with someone who cares about you.

Maybe they're from the old school of life, where being emotionally closed off is the norm. I wish I knew.

Wishing you a pleasant day LL. I think it's probably just a matter of time before one or both of your folks makes some time to talk. It'll be okay.
