[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is probably talking about the people who can read an entire story about neglect, longterm abuse or severe dysfunction and say "well that's your parent so you need to respect them and your kids need to have a relationship with them. By the way, my parents are awesome and we love spending time with them."

I've seen those posts.[/quote]

No, I believe OP is talking about a post from last night about a woman whose mother makes hurtful comments about her failure to provide her with a sufficient number of grandchildren. When the mother doesn't know her daughter is infertile because the daughter hasn't told her (which, to be clear, is obviously completely within her rights to do if she so chooses). I offered some (what I thought might be helpful) comments re: drawing boundaries to that thread's OP, but this thread's OP decided I didn't have sufficient experience with terrible parents to give advice. Thus this thread. Or I assume they're related, since this one popped up within minutes of those postings last night. What this OP doesn't know is that I've got years of experience with drawing boundaries with toxic in-laws, along with a ton of therapy to deal with it. I try not to comment on random threads unless I think I have some requisite experience on the topic.

Besides, that thread's OP is more than welcome to disregard my comments- I won't be offended in the slightest. [/quote]

Yet you managed to miss OP's replies as to why she had not her mother about the infertility. Instead your thought process was, well this is how it is for me, OP's problems would be solved if she just said this. Ignoring that  the OP of that thread said about telling her mother anything.

Perhaps it was an over direction, but I agree with the premise of this thread, and looking at the majority of the responses proves why. You and others like you simply do not get it, and instead of accepting that you take it as a personal attack.[/quote]

Do you not see that it's kind of an asshole move to tell me I don't get it and has no valid opinion to share (basically, STFU), and then tell me that I'm too sensitive when I push back? I have an awesome therapist in Silver Spring I can recommend to you if you'd like to talk to someone. [/quote]
