They left them to their own devices just like my dad did.
Not because he wanted me to turn out like this but to give me exactly what I wanted. The thing is that after I figured out that "self-realization" doesn't lead to happiness I was more willing to consider his way of living because I no longer had the excuse of not being able to do things my way.
That's what they are doing:
Dad: Okay you little shit. Have it your way. Go to your nearest capital and have your journey.
The opposite happened with me. My dad did the whole "maybe you'll understand when you're older" thing when I was younger and now that I'm older and do in fact understand he's more on the "yeah maybe you were right: the way I used to think is obsolete, and you're just fighting against the tide" side of things
Boomers be like "Millennials suck"
[Insert subway meme photo here]
Nigga you made the Millennials!
Did they though?

Me: Maaaan, everything sucks.
Dad: Are you willing to listen now?
