[quote=Anonymous]Are they local? I think the best thing you can do for someone in pain is to redirect it so they aren't always focused on it. Maybe talking about it is cathartic to a point, but after awhile you can't let them fixate on their pain. If they are local, I would invite them over for dinner or outings. Let them help you with the kids...give them something else to focus on, something that isn't self-absorbed. You can chat about their issues while they are changing diapers, or whatever. I don't recommend limiting contact because this is your family. They need you. Find a way to make this work so it's not draining on you.[/quote]
