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.

TL;DR: jews

The jews leveraged their victory in Europe and massive influence in the US government in to getting the worlds first massive scale propaganda system implemented against the Germans. This was highly successful in destroying Germany and in the 50s, just as the Boomers were being born, it was turned against the US.

A TV set in every home spewing non-stop jewish propaganda was not enough. The jews got the government to finance an produce propaganda that was pushed on school children. There was pushback from McCarthy and others, but the jews won and managed to replace healthy propaganda with destructive shit.

The boomers themselves were not entitled as many have claimed. What they had was unlimited opportunity. They did not have affirmative action and race quotas holding them back. They could work their way up from the mail room to be CEO. They could work to earn whatever they wanted. But they did have to work for it. What they don't understand that these opportunities no longer exist. They don't understand that with a bachelors you can't get a job as a Jr Engineer that pays $150k/yr like they did. So they see you as lazy and entitled when you drive for uber for $35k/yr because Pajeet got your Engineer job that pays $40k.

It makes sense that the boomers were proudly "spending their kids inheritance" because they didn't understand the opportunity was gone. Why can't my kids buy a house and a new car at 25 like I did? They don't need to inherit anything.

$150,000/year for a Jr. Engineer? Maybe in the early 1990s as a computer engineer. Regular everyday civil engineers, even with advanced degrees made much much less than that. (in my profession in the 1970s/1980s engineers fresh out of college with an EIT started out at around $20,000/year).

I'm adjusting for inflation. $20k/yr in 1970 is $140k now.

Again part of why Boomers just don't understand. "My first job in 1970 was $20k/yr. What are you complaining about $30k for??!?!"

They pretend inflation isn't real so that they feel better about themselves.

The real question is why is there an incentive to leave the nest and split the families? I want to be on a big homestead with my loving family and get as off-grid as possible while teaching and upholding unkiked values.

Why should it be that the homes our forefathers purchased so long ago prove so useless today? Sadly, my dead father's home dwells deep inside a ghetto. He should have bought land out in the country when he saw mass-immigration becoming a issue in all major cities.

Feels bad, man.

Living with parents isn't a bad thing, but (((certain types))) will attempt to make people feel like shit for it. It's economically a great thing to do.
