According to psychologists' explanations, over time, children visiting their parents less often is often not related to resentment or coldness. The main reason is the relationship model formed in childhood.
Medianews.az reports that psychologist Marlene Martin spoke about this in an article she wrote for "VegOut", based both on personal observations and psychological research related to family dynamics.
According to her, the reason why adult children rarely visit their parents is not always selfishness or ingratitude.
If parents show love more through labor, provision, and practical support and give little place to emotional dialogue, children continue the same behavior pattern when they grow up.
It appears like this: grown children bring gifts, food, financial help to their parents, but do not stay for long periods. Although this looks like distancing, it is actually a continuation of the "showing love through work" model learned in childhood.
