#succession and tliw have adult children so its more their parents hating the very traits they nurtured in their kids

[funeralmourners]

recent things i've read/watched were parents grow to be unnerved, disgusted, repulsed by the children they birthed and raised, despising these creatures of theirs:

dead ringers (see: "I don't want her. She doesn't want me. It's just this awful mistake that I can't figure out how to take back [...]." see also: "There's two of them. There's always two of them. I can't do this. They don't want me, they don't need me and I don't want them.")

succession (see: "I blame myself. I spoiled you. And now you're fucked. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry you're a hothouse flower, that you're nothing. You're curdled cream.")

the lion in winter (see: "You're not mine. We're not connected. I deny you. None of you will get my crown. I leave you nothing and I wish you plague. May all your children breech and die.")
