I know what they're like, I know they will never accept my reasons for ending my marriage, but I still get myself upset by their comments & their relationship with my ex.
He has now moved out of their house & into his own (finally!), but is round my parents for dinner, taking dad out for drinks,and arranging to cook for them in his new house on Sunday.
I was at my sister's 30th birthday party last w/e, and the band sang a song that was featured on my wedding video, which led to my parents saying "Ahh, listen, it's your wedding song", then dad said "Where's your husband?
I try to ignore, but it does get to me.
Saw them briefly yesterday, and mum was saying how she worries about ex H now he's all alone in his new house.
I said "Well I have been all alone for 3 months now"
To this dad said "Yes, and who's fault is that?"
I didn't answer him, I know from past experience that trying to explain does no good, and I will end up more upset & frustrated, but they do get me down with all this. I wish I could be tougher, I know I should be much stronger with them.
I don't know why I'm typing all this, I think I just need to get it out.
