Does anyone else experience this? Beef b/w older and newer generations?

Our parents' generation was not big on mental health or therapy at all. Therapy was viewed, and to a certain extent still is, as something shameful or negative. Magnified x10 if you grew up in a religious family/ bible belt.

Don't question anything and obey everything. The newer generations are saying enough is enough.

I don't blame Pluto completely.

I have Saturn square Sun natally.

My father and I have a tight Sun-Saturn square in composite. 25 SECONDS APPLYING from exact.

My mother and I share a Moon-Venus-Saturn opposition in synastry, with her being Saturn. Ironically, I have Moon trine Saturn in natal at 1 degree. My moon is also square Uranus-Neptune at 2 and 3 degrees, respectively, which probably explains her BPD.

I strongly believe absent parents are better parents than a lot of "present" ones. So many ppl had kids for the wrong reasons. So many ppl have children they really did not want.

At least the absent parent removed themselves. My father uses his "family" as his "beard" because he's a loser. He then mentally, emotionally, and sometimes physically abuses those same ppl behind closed doors. I have been stuck in a viscous cycle trying to escape. Add in COLA and depression and im going nowhere fast. My life revolves around my father and his torture tactics. It's one thing not to have a support system.. it's something totally different having someone constantly in your way, purposely trying to pick at you and hold you back.

Pluto rears its ugly head too. My father's Pluto semi-squares my Venus applying under 1 degree. His Pluto also inconjuncts my mother's Gemini stellium. Pluto and Saturn are the main culprits. Pluto is based on power struggles, manipulation, and control. Pluto does not love. Pluto wants domination. At some point, we have to disappoint our parents and depending on an individual's emotional makeup, this might hurt way worse than it "should" compared to the "norm".

On this long hard journey of discovery, I've met so many ppl with similar stories who forgave their parents and still worship the ground they walk on. Like your parents obviously abused you and didn't love you. Why are you so forgiving? Or better yet, you can forgive, but why are you honouring them? Rip the bandaid off. It hurts like hell, but there is strength and control of your own life on the other side.
