The shock of passing time
Another often unspoken reality: watching one’s parents age is difficult. Many adults feel a certain reticence in the face of this transformation. They know that the balance shifts, that roles evolve. Sometimes, they prefer not to think about it and plunge into the whirlwind of daily life: work, responsibilities, family life… not out of indifference, but because the emotion is too intense.
Parents then interpret this withdrawal as a lack of interest, when it is often a protective mechanism.
