[quote=Anonymous]I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve and talk about my problems a lot, which I'm realizing gives my power away and makes people think of me as weak. My husband wanted to leave me in the past year, but didn't, although I'm not sure how long our marriage will last.  The kids and I have all been sick over the past couple months.  My parents and sister gave me self help books for Christmas (among other things), which just made me feel worse (even though they are books I would read).  Who wants to be reminded of your problems on Christmas? Then they keep bringing up "Did you read the books?".  My parents mean well, but when I talk to them on the telephone, they start right in about how I should divorce my husband because he will never change.   The whole phone conversation revolves around topics that are emotionally painful when I'm just trying to get my kids and I to be healthy again.  I feel like not even confiding anymore so people won't keep harping on my problems and trying to tell me what to do.  If I stop confiding in my parents, I won't really have many other people to confide in, but it's the only way I know to get them to stop when I'm just too overwhelmed right now.  I even said I wanted to get off the phone and my mom can't stop talking. How do I get people to stop trying to give me advice and harp on my problems all the time? My whole family is so negative.[/quote]
