[quote=Anonymous]My parents acrimoniously divorced when I was two. Take my advice, I have been working on this for 30 years. Make it a clean break. You won't take sides, you won't trash talk or give secrets about one to the other. If they can't handle you causally mentioning the other in conversation without probing for details then stop casually mentioning them. The longer and more firmly you adhere to these boundaries, the less awkward it will get and the less they will inquire. "Mom I really don't feel comfortable being in the middle of this, let's talk about your day instead." "Dad I am not mom's keeper, I don't know what she did last week and I am not going to spy on you or her. How was the game last night?"[/quote]
