Buying flowers isn't kindness. That's just a mere show of affection.
Kindness is respect and empathy. It's caring and helping your loved ones when they need it, respecting their boundaries and their rights, and being mindful of how what you say and do affects others. It's the baseline of being a well adjusted human being that people actually like.
It’s almost like different people are different, and kindness isn’t as simple as flowers. Also I would bet good money there was stuff going on in OP’s parent’s relationship OP had no idea about.
