[quote=Anonymous]My mom and I have a really bad relationship. She is extremely controlling, manipulative, judgmental and she will talk about badly me behind my back, yet I feel forced to interact with her. She demands to be treated like a queen. When I say anything against this she plays the victim and says that I am being disrespectful. My dad used to stand up against her and over the years he has started to side with her because she will drive him crazy until he agrees with her. My dad has now turned into a hateful person. He thinks everyone is out to get him and hates anyone that is not just like him. They are both extremely hard to be around, If my kids don't act extremely happy to see them they take it personal. There is a long list of things my kids have to do while they are here and if they mess it up while my parents are here, we never hear the end of it. I am so sick of it.

When I see other people that love having their moms/dads visit or come over and they like their parents I just feel a sense of loss or hurt. When I forget how damaging she can be I try to get close to her and always get crushed. How do I get over the fact that I will never have a good relationship with either my mom or dad while still having to talk to them?
