[quote=Anonymous]My parents were like that, to some extent, though they would never comment on my H's job or company. My way of coping was pulling back and not telling them anything important. I lost my dad 3 years ago and my mom recently, so I look back to my interactions with them and feel pangs of guilt. Everything they did, they did out of love, however smothering, irritating it felt like at the time. I miss them terribly, but I can still acknowledge that our dynamic was not healthy. The main regret I have is not getting counseling sooner. There was a lot of energy and time wasted on anger and frustration. I wish I'd sought professional help to give me the insight and tools of dealing with it in a productive way. Your parents will not change. Accept that, then seek help for yourself. [/quote]
