Feel the same about my parents as they have let my brother and me down time and time again,we don't have any expectations of them so they no longer dissapoint us
When they are around (they live abroad) I have no interest in seeing them or hearing what they say,its just noise to me
But the love I have for my kids is unreal,they are mine and jos we made them and we adore the little buggers

No you are not dead inside you simply have no feelings for someone who for all intents and purposes is a stranger
