[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. Thank you, everyone. I know you think I'm crazy, but it's hard to get a healthy perspective when you've lived an entire childhood like this. There is a reason I have put the Atlantic between us, and sometimes it's been easier to just omit truths than hear their endless rigmaroles over all the ways I am ruining my life. I wanted to cut them off at one point, and my husband persuaded me not to, and he was right - they are my closest family and they love me. I had to laugh over the dog photo for Christmas - this is what crossed my mind! Maybe it will make things easier, plus he's fluffy and white and quite photogenic. Thanks again. [/quote] I get it OP. I understand the concept of not letting their disapproval affect your actions, I.e., get the dog you want. But how do you not let it affect your feelings when they criticize? Let me know when you have an answer. [/quote]
