Hi harlock,
Yes, these parents are from another generation (I'm 33) and it's actually not within their ability to see that they have a "mental disorder". It's a worldview; a mentality and way of seeing the world that won't allow this new perspective on what they have always known of as reality.
That's what I tell myself anyway. it is frustrating esp. when we're trying to undo and work out what they still do and taught us how!
And then we're the ones considered the troubled one and we somehow got there on our own!
But, you know what? I am just one teensy part of a family system and that's what they forget or rather never learned.
good luck!
