[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was in my 20s, and I told them that I would not, under any circumstances, talk to one of them about the other. This full blockade includes passing along news, trash talking, listening to trash talk, etc. If one of them said something (especially bad) about the other, I said "I love you, but you know the rules. Do we need to get off the phone for now or will you change the subject?" They ALWAYS moved on to something else. And I get the sense that they appreciated knowing that I was such a hard-ass about this that I wasn't going to listen to anything bad about them. Now, 20 years later, they are much better behaved and I can loosen up a bit, but boy-oh-boy did that serve me well for a good stretch there. (Especially when my father went on to marry two crazy women in very rapid succession.)[/quote]
