[quote=Anonymous]You tried to be an adult about this and let them know how it makes you feel and it didn't work. Been there. You focus on being relational but not having a relationship. (I got that from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents). You keep in touch, but manage it-stick to neutral topics and don't expect them to be supportive or to meet any of your emotional needs for connection. You just figure out your boundaries and emotionally detach. You can expect them to keep complaining. Do not show emotion. Just put more distance there by changing the subject or making an excuse to leave. If they aren't open to your side, then it's not worth engaging on the topic. Try to stay connected, but without any emotional investment.[/quote]
