[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with what everyone has said here: Stay out of it. BUT...they are calling. In order to get through the phone calls, I’d just listen and paraphrase. Paraphrasing is not agreeing or “siding” with the person. It’s about acknowledging what they’re saying. That’s it. Mom: I can’t believe your dad. He thinks we need to move to an apartment. Hell no am I doing that. You: So you’re not in favor of moving to an apartment while Dad is. What else? And so on... [/quote] I think this advice encourages them to vent to you instead of discussing it with each other. You aren’t their counselor. They should not be using you to lodge complaints against the other.[/quote]
