I have a young child who I am afraid I have done this to. She has extremely narrow interests and we cannot seem to find common ground. If any other topic of general interest comes up and I try to contribute, she contradicts what I say (with contempt) even when I have fundamentally agreed with her opinion on the subject. I am frustrated and exhausted from trying to make up for the mistakes I made in her teens.
