I think many families have a lot of problems with accepting us as we are. They (meaning parents, mostly) often cannot let go of controlling us as we grew into adults and they wanted us to turn out a particular way, made assumptions about what would happen in our lives.
Amen to that. I still have trouble getting my parents to realise I'm not the person I was when they gave up on me any more, for one thing I'm 20 years older!
