I have felt for a long time that I've been short changed when it comes to parents. My parents split up a long time ago. Neither me nor my siblings have any contact with my father (messy split). My Mother is very critical and never thinks before she speaks. What ever I do it's not good enough and she and my husband do not get on (it's quite obvious she thinks he's not good enough). From my conversations with her it never seems that she criticises my siblings. I often have to bite my tongue and keep quite. I also get hassled becasue I live a long way away and am constantly made to feel guilty. I just want some normality (does it exist?). Do I just accept things or should I learn to stand up for myself and risk a family upset?
