I'm suspicious about artificial relationships, and I think they are the most dangerous when they appear to be (or are assumed to be) intimate. People should never pretend about who and how they love anyone. I don't mean that as a value judgement -- people like your parents ought to be very honest about their feelings and especially their roles in an extended family.
My parents are in fine health, and they live 2,000 miles away. They choose their level of involvement, and fortunately for me as a parent, they are fairly involved.
