[quote=Anonymous]Giving emotional support to anyone at a difficult time is fine, as long as you keep boundaries in mind. If it something you would do for a friend, it's probably fine. With some parents in particular, watch out for the emotional support turning into emotional blackmail . attempts to control things --" I will feel better if you just do X" where X could be anything from coming to dinner every week to raising your child in their preferred religion, and is likely to be followed by other demands.
