Dealing With A Family Who Isn’t Good For You
Limit your interaction with their issues
On that last note, try to limit your exposure to your parents’ problems. In other words, if your father does have possessive and controlling partners, just tell him you want alone time with him. You don’t have to take on the stress of those women, just because your father is willing to. Make sure when you see your mom, it’s to do uplifting things like exercise or go to concerts. Don’t get coffee with a depressive individual with a victim mentality…they’ll spend the whole time talking about their “struggles.”
