[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure that adults can dump on other adults (even their parents) and expect their parents to play therapist with them. Like even your example of a stressful job. If you have a stressful job, you can't just dump on your parents about your stressful job. If anything, that's the role of a spouse or a therapist. Sure you can briefly bring it up to friends or family, but it can't be constant. [/quote] Never expected them to play therapy, just feeling invisible when they just ignore and can't even say a "oh, sorry about your work, I hope it gets better", that would be the end of our conversation. It's definitely not constant. - OP[/quote] I can see that the validation would be better. It seems extreme to cut them off just because they don’t say your scripted lines, though. [/quote]
