[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't sit them down, but the idea of setting boundaries is EXACTLY right. Tell them to knock it off and you're not dealing with. If someone starts talking shit in front of me or on face book, I would say "I love you both. The divorce was a long time ago. I am not listening to this or dealing with it." and then walk away. Rinse, lather, repeat. Except that the initial reaction will be spectacular, but if you keep holding that line they will eventually knock it off. [/quote] This exactly. My folks divorced when I was 5 in 1985, and my mom would still be happy to spend an afternoon talking crap about him. The fact that she won't let go doesn't mean that I have to put up with it. I just say something a lot like this suggestion, with the shorthand of "let it go" or "it's been 30 years" or "people change." Whatever you do, DON'T ENGAGE.[/quote]
