Were your parents hands-off?

Mine certainly were. Growing up, they never pushed me to do anything or succeed. They never got too invested in my life or taught me anything useful. My mom practically admitted to me that she assumed I would figure things out for myself. I'd come home with terrible grades and they didn't care. They are still like this today. They don't care what I do or where I go. They wonder why I'm so distant from them, yet they can't admit that it's probably because they pushed me away. It's probably the reason why I'm so withdrawn too.



Are anybody else's parents like this?
