I have a daughter, 24, and son, 27. I used to be a very strict mom, I was the law, and I belived in strict discipline, punishments and spanking. I believe I did my duty, my daughter is a biochemist and my son is an engineer with post-graduation. But neither likes me, both are kinda resentful and in their opinion I was everything a parent should not be. My husband, who also was strict but not as much as me, died, and, like me, left a strong resentment. Today my kids don't hug or kiss me, show no love, don't pretend they like me, but anyway help me. I have health issues and live w/ my daughter in her apartment, but she doesn't accept my authority any more, she doesn't even bother to ask my opinion. She lets me live there, I don't contribute a cent, but she simply doesn't care about what I think. The same is true of my son, he helps me w/ money, but that's all. They have different opinions and principles, when I die I won't leave good memories. This bothers me
