[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-- I recommend just being a good, open parent. Ignore the negativity, continue letting your DC know that you love them, help in whatever way is reasonable, be available. Don't engage in drama, don't engage in negativity, don't continue to apologize (you've already apologized). [/quote] This is what i've been trying to do, but suddenly just couldn't anymore. I will continue. Thank you.[/quote] I think you can do what both PPs have said- continue to be open, but also write a letter. Or even offer to go to family therapy with them. At some point, their anger will subside or they will start to see that they are projecting their anxiety etc. onto you, and it doesn't help alleviate it. And OP, it's also OK to take mini breaks. You don't have to pick up the phone every time they call. You can say no, this isn't a great weekend for me, how about next weekend? Etc. [/quote]
