[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, at the end of the day they are making their own choices. It’s imperative that you don’t sacrifice the well being of your own family to keep your parents from feeling the consequences of their actions. Have a heart-to-heart with your husband and decide on your boundaries, and stick to them. Your sibling, despite being nearby, has the same right to set boundaries about what help they can or cannot offer your parents; if they decide to do more than you’re willing to do, that’s their choice. It’s a balancing act between living out your own beliefs system and protecting the health of yourself and you family, which you are entitled to do. Because it doesn’t sound like your parents will look out for your well-being, snd that’s something we all have to do for ourselves. Regarding PPs comments - you can be kind and live by your values while maintaining those necessary boundaries, especially in light of the abuse you endured. [/quote]
