[quote=Anonymous]Discussing the reality of your past and your family dynamics is different from "trash talking." My parents are both alcoholics. They did a great job raising us, but when we were college age, their drinking started to go off the rails, and it has become problematic in many, many ways. I do not "trash talk" them, but I definitely did make my husband aware of this fact when our relationship got serious, and it informs how we interact with them and how we interact with our children. It's not always "respect your elders," OP. It is respect the truth, and do the best you can with what you have. Sometimes, that means distance and walking away.[/quote]
