[quote=Anonymous]Not sure why everyone is harping on you. I think it’s normal. Not everyone has an amazing connection with their parents. Maybe you could attach something to his visits to make them better. Like if you knit, you could at least knit and talk or watch tv so you’re still being productive and you won’t be annoyed. Or if you’ve always wanted to read the classics and dad’s eyes are going you can read aloud to him. Or you can drag him around on errands and pretend you need his advice or whatever. I have a parent whose presence literally triggers me and makes all my sensory sensitivities flare and it’s just so uncomfortable to be around them. I also think they’re kind of dim because they’ve let their world get so small. They don’t live nearby, but I don’t know what I’d do if I had to see them weekly.[/quote]
