Someone recently said that if a parent and adult child don't have a good relationship, it's NEVER the child's fault. Wrong!
In some cases it is.
I've seen some adult children who take advantage of their parents,who abuse their parents, etc and in doing so they destroy the relationship.

It's a sad thing when that happens, truly.
@much2say
I've had issues with my parents over the years at times,(I think everyone does from time to time) but we still Love each other greatly.
I also know that no matter what, we would never let things get so bad that the relationship was irreparably destroyed.

@jnrdutton That is how I see it too. No matter what my parents and I have gone through in the past, we are still family and would always be that.
But I guess my younger sister sees it differently. Long story. Funny but she was against my parents stepping away from their own family . . . and now she is doing the very same thing herself. Her choice. And yes, it's a very sad thing.

I totally agree. But what type of upbringing did these problem children have?

Sometimes bad upbringing can be an issue, but other times I've known parents who were excellent and raised the children with good values, and sometimes the children stubbornly rejected those values, unfortunately. @LindaOHio.
There are so many influences on children these days, though, it's like a war between good and bad influences often times.
