Ranting reaction to an article on Estranged Parents and Adult Children

So this article on parents estranged from their adult children came across my Facebook dash today. I found it a bit triggery and upsetting and I wanted to discuss that reaction somewhere. I didn't want to comment on the post, because they have it set up so that comments must be done through Facebook. There are some discussions I do not want to get into on Facebook. So I thought I would post my reaction here so I could work through it somewhere I felt was safer.
