Is anyone else going crazy being around fighting parents around the holidays? I’ve been home for 3 days and I’m already reminded of why I avoid it.. parents have avoided therapy for 15 years and my mom is threatening divorce. Doesn’t help that it’s my nature to want to help / fix things

I feel this. At this point, I just restrict my time at home - I’m only going for 3 days around Christmas this year. Also, going to therapy myself to better understand how to set boundaries both with myself (recognizing it’s not your job to fix their marriage) and in your interactions with them (no, mom, I will not trash talk dad with you - that’s an inappropriate thing for a parent to talk with their child about) has helped - and it’s an ongoing journey.

Of course! 💕 Highly recommend therapy. And remember that your emotions and boundaries are very important regardless of how your parents make you feel.

Thank you! Had my sister team up with me who has a therapist, which helped! Also, being home my parents during covid has helped them realize that it’s unfair for me to be their therapist / marriage coach and I’ve vocalized how it’s messed up my personal life (at 24 still never had a boyfriend or even close...)

My parents have also agreed to couple therapy, too but doubt we can push to that point within 2021. Baby steps lol

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
