What the hell did the boomers actually do? Most of the civil and reproductive rights work was done by people slightly older than them—people my parents' age. They reaped the benefits and took the credit. I once went around my church interviewing all the men of that generation, typical boomers, trying to find out

Well, it's about time. Not that this excuses her, but from how I see it, she's the daughter of a generation of New York City artists who made careers for themselves by being very much unfiltered (and often in a manner that was very candid about the human body and sexuality). It seems like she's trying to take that art

Whoa, shouldn't a key component of hiring a top crisis manager like Smith be secrecy about said hire? Is this about to be Barbara Streisand-level story blow-back, or the best real life episode of Scandal ever?

I'm sure that she turns around anything her kids say and then tells them she doesn't know/understand what they're talking about. If they speak in generalities about her behavior, they are 'exaggerating' or 'don't understand how tough things were for her- she did the best she could and behaved as anyone would have.' If

Narcissism has been long been associated with the notion of entitlement, which typically suggests a lack of empathy, a feeling of superiority and a tendency to overreact to criticism.

What the fuck lady? You can't drop tantalizing hints and not tell us the whole story! If we don't know the details we have no way of guessing whether your kids are narcissistic assfaces who cut you out of their lives for no good reason (possible) or whether you're a horrible mother and that's why your kids want

To start off, I'm a family counselor. It influences every story of every family I hear, although I try my best to turn it off when not working with clients. That being said...

"A common story among parents who have estranged adult children is how much they had focused on their children, how much they did to make sure

I've cut my father out of my life.

"They accuse me of being a terrible person, but won't elaborate about exactly what I've done. Well, sometimes they do, but it doesn't make sense, at least to me."

But the kids are the narcissists, riiiight...
