[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy. Don’t visit. Go low contact. [/quote] This is not acceptable. We owe it to our parents to help them in their old age. OP, is this new behavior? Any medical issues/ drugs that could be causing this? I would not force my spouse to be a part of the visits. I would go myself out of obligation and take one kid at a time; maybe they are overwhelmed by the visits. As soon as the negative talk starts, I would change the subject and refuse to engage. If you spend the entire visit talking about the color the neighbors chose to paint their house, so be it.[/quote] OP here. It’s not new, just ramped up, especially the judgmental stuff about politics and more vindictive, personal attacks. I’d attribute some of it to a medical issue but honestly, it’s who they have always been (I witnessed a scaled down version of this behavior when I was a kid). It’s just all hanging out now basking in the sun. [/quote]
