[quote=Anonymous]Whether your parent is toxic or evil or not, you have to put your own mental, emotional and physical well being first. You have to prioritize your spouse and your children. You can't make yourself miserable to make them feel better about their own life. So in answer to your question - I would do what I felt was the right thing. If my parent was truly malicious, evil and toxic I would save myself by walking away. If my parent was simply getting older, needier and more demanding I would keep my visits short but sweet and do my best to help them to establish the professional supports that they need - with the awareness that there is not going to be a perfect solution, ever, no matter what you do. I would not sacrifice my own well being and happiness to make them happy. But no loving parent would ever expect their kid to do that for them. [/quote]
