[quote=Anonymous]OP, can you give an example of how your parents are passive aggressive? I might be able to offer you some suggestions. I'm 37, and my parents can be passive aggressive, but I feel like there has definitely been an improvement in the last several years. But there are many different ways parents can be passive aggressive, so an example might help. I will say that I have found that telling them that I am not going to communicate for a while makes the problem WORSE. It's better to establish permanent boundaries than to have temporary breaks. But it takes time and patience to build the permanent boundaries. You have to do it in steps and stages, and it will be more successful if it doesn't seem like a punishment to your parents (which will only provoke more bad behavior on their part).[/quote]
