[quote=Anonymous]I've had to do this with my own mother. She's a giant pain when she's anxious, and she cannot at all cope with difficult things. She wants to be supportive but her "support" comes in the form of constantly hassling me. I've had to draw some hard lines, like packing up and leaving her house, because she can't get herself under control. There are certain things I won't discuss with her, and I tell her straight out "You know I won't discuss that with you." [Long awkward pause]. I think you can tell them and let her freak out, and take this as an opportunity to start drawing boundaries. Knowing that she will react very negatively and your father is used to enabling her so he might put a lot of pressure on you to continue enabling her. But if you stay strong, it might work. Or you can find another means of child care help. Sometimes the easiest way to pay for things is with money.[/quote]
