This is such a slippery slope . The world is full of parents who never quite bond with/ withdraw from their children or abuse their children without drugs or alcohol being an issue. People withdraw for so many different reasons, including cultural values, their own issues, preoccupation with themselves, anger management issues, mental illness, the need to work multiple jobs and on and on.
I can't get my head around broad generalizations.
