I haven't had a great relationship with my own parents over the years, they were very controlling (still can be 2 a certain extent), who believed hitting was an ok punishment, or maybe a few suggestions that 'u need 2 see a pscychiatrist' or 'if your're not good the men in white coats will take u away', sometimes I actually wished they did.But was glad when I did get away. Sure they've helped me out with money etc, what parent doesn't. But they always seem to resent me, I became independant and will actively encourage my own children 2b also. But no matter how happy I am the more they seem to dislike me. It's really difficult, now I'm at a point where I don't wish 2 see them or my family, they don't even hold back in their own grandchilds company, it's not right, my hubby had to ask them 2 leave. They then left a horrible message on the ans machine, which my daughter has heard, and is v.upset. They have also tried 2 involve the inlaws 2. So I've decided 2 listened 2 all that know and love me that I should not put up with them anymore.I didn't want 2 for my children, but I was never shielded from arguments or upset and it constantly makes me feel bad even now, I want my children to be happy, that's all.
