> It is also extremely hard to do

It is surprisingly easy to do. You clearly come from stable families, but parents can hate their children for a lot of things: being different (everything from sexual orientation to not being social), being not like them, being exactly like them, not getting the grades they hoped for, not babysitting your 5 siblings because you had to go to school, not bringing in money, costing them too much money by existing, not being a doctor in a family of doctors....

More often, it's not the children who don't want to see their parents, its the other way around.
