I should rephrase the question asked in the title - what can possibly cause a parent to harbor hatred for their own offspring?

I'm in my mid 30's now. I'm a veteran of the American armed forces. Single father to a boy who lives with me. I understand how money works. I own a single family home in an average neighborhood, and I keep the place looking sharp. I have a disposable income, a modern muscle car, and I spend my days lifting at a good gym.

My father at the same age was more prosperous than I am, but he resented me for existing. Until I was 18, I was unknowingly the product of his choices - scrawny, fearful of the world, too timid to talk to women, and my clothes looked like my family could only afford to shop at Goodwill. I confronted him when I was successful at 30, and he defended himself by saying I had a sense of entitlement.

I believe I have narcissistic abuse syndrome, and he thinks it's funny.

I know I'm not the only millennial with this story, and I want to know why.

The boomers were the entitled ones. Good paying jobs right out of high school that you could raise a family on. Most women were respectable, unlike the thots of today.

Good luck with that now.

The Boomer men were the first generation to lose control of their women.

Maybe, but it is nothing like it is today.

Sure, but that's where it started. The liberated Boomer wives raised the garbage daughters fucking things up today.

I dunno, when feminism raised it's ugly kike head in France, it was a direct result of allowing their women into universities.

All those women topless at Woodstock? Are you talking about those women?

There was never a such thing as jobs you could support a family on out of high school. That's an urban legend manufactured by lazy fucks who don't want to have to put in their dues doing the shit work for shit pay like all the rest of us had to.

Our Boomer parents lived in a 800 sq ft home and drove a single used car. They vacationed at a local place 2 hours away once a year, at most. They avoided debt like the plague. If they didn't have cash for it, they didn't buy it.

That's a huge part of how they "made it work."

Millennial dummies simply don't get this.

Agree on the women. Boomer men lost control of their women (for the first time in history) and they proceeded to begin fucking over the world. Boomer moms are some of the most selfish people the world has ever created. First generation to despise their kids and try to get them out of the house as soon as possible.

That's the cancer of feminism. It is truly corrosive. It's like crack, though. The idea that one's circumstances can be blamed on somebody else is very appealing and seductive because it means your situation isn't your fault, and therefore there's nothing for you to do about it.
