I can’t even stand my parents anymore. We don’t have any close relationship especially with my father it’s very casual. They are both getting really old, and they are asking more for my presence, and I don’t want to be around them because we would fight. I feel bad right now but there’s really nothing I can do.
On most days I don’t even feel like talking to them. They are trying to build a relationship right now, but I believe it’s too late and that got me real messed up because I don’t want a family of my own.
I’m not attached to anyone; I don’t even miss people when they are out of my physical reach. But most importantly, I’m starting to hate my parents.

I’m so sorry to hear that you and your parents are having such a hard time. Family conflicts can be difficult, particularly when parents get older and long for closer relationships. It’s critical to keep in mind that everyone experiences conflict and disconnection in their family connections, and that your feelings are normal.
Understanding your emotions better can help you address them more effectively. Consider talking to a therapist or counselor. They can provide guidance and strategies for dealing with family conflicts and your emotions. Also, try to have an open discussion about your feelings with your parents if you feel safe doing so. Be calm and respectful when you express your thoughts and disappointments. They could not be well aware of your emotions.
Forgiving your parents, even if just for your own peace of mind, although it’s not an absolute must, forgiveness can be a useful tool for letting go of the negative feelings that are hindering you from moving forward.
It’s normal to set limits with your parents to try to safeguard your own mental and emotional health. You can plainly explain to them the kind of communication you are comfortable with. it’s okay to have mixed feelings. It’s also okay to prioritize your own well-being and mental health
