Parent-thesis

Summary/Abstract: Written from the perspective of a parentified child, the short story argues that remaining in a dysfunctional marriage does more harm than good to everyone involved, including the children whom parents so often invoke as a reason for staying together. As the plot unfolds, it shows how a lack of intimacy and sexual compatibility affects relationships, how changing the status quo requires more honesty and courage than some people can muster in a lifetime, and how unmet emotional needs impair the capacity to form healthy connections across generations.
