[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. I can't begin to understand your pain, but I feel like my experiences were similar. I was physically abused and also witnessed my father physically and emotionally abuse my mother. I limit my time with my parents to 2 hours max and try not to go to their house (my childhood home). They love fine dining so dinners at restaurants work well. I don't feel obligated to spend major holidays with them because they are stressful times. I never leave my children alone with them, but I never bad mouth them to my kids either. In their retirement and old age, my mother has become somewhat emotionally and financially abusive to my father. It's partially because my mother is probably getting even for the abuse she endured and maybe a natural decline that will lead to dementia. We are watching to make sure it doesn't cross a line. When it does, we plan on having them put in assisted living. [/quote]
