[quote=Anonymous]I struggle with what to do with some relatives from my dad's side who are just impossible to be around, yet are very lonely due to their isolating behaviors. On the one hand, I feel bad that they're all alone in their old age and they weren't abusive towards me, have been generous on occasion. But on the one hand, they spend the entire time I'm with them criticizing, making fun of my family, belittling our choices, and insisting that we take them up on babysitting offers (which I would, except for major safety issues). It's really insufferable. I don't want and don't mean to cut them off, but I also can't bare to spend time with them. Maybe if I were partially deaf like my dad, it would be easier to get along with them - if I couldn't hear half of what they say, they'd seem a lot more reasonable. [/quote]
