[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else have passive-aggressive parents who don't respect you, even though you're 30, married, and do not financially, emotionally, or otherwise depend on them? And you've repeatedly told them ways that they CAN respect you?

I'm just frustrated that, as much as DH and I have told my parents about our boundaries (and as much as they've agreed to respect us in that), they still find ways to INCREDIBLY passively-aggressively violate them. DH and I take a firm approach when this happens, and typically it results in pushback from my parents (not surprising). Sometimes we have to take breaks from them (and we tell them that we're taking time off from communicating) which they do respect us on. But whenever our relationship starts back up again and things are going well, they do something to break a boundary they already know about (and have known about since we told them four years ago).

I hope I'm not alone. I love my parents but it is so painful and sad to know that they do not respect me one iota. I'm not going to give examples because I really just don't want to re-live the pain.[/quote]
