My parents divorced when I was a teenager but both still live locally so I do see them regularly. They are both quite negative people and I have to guard against them pulling me down.
I have a problem that I'm never 'heard' by either of them and don't feel any love from them. I'm older now but they're still my parents and see my ds. Don't want the same affect on him!
So, when I say anything positive about my life, it is dismissed, met with a blank face.
If I find a solution to a problem I'm then pulled down by them find another problem.
Even though they aren't together on this they are very similar!
It's really annoying! How would you deal with this? I do limit contact because if I try to make my feelings known it is met with defensiveness and criticism., I'm not sure what the problem is? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, is it just different personalities? Jealously? I really don't know!
