[quote=Anonymous]It’s unfortunate that the trolls have discovered this sub forum. Op, sorry for your loss. I can understand feeling frustrated with your friends. But please don’t judge them. You’re fortunate to have had good relationships with your parents. We don’t expect people to have to put up with verbal or emotional abuse in friendships or intimate relationships, but somehow adult children are expected to tolerate this out of respect or duty to their elders. I’m a single parent who didn’t have much support from my own parents in raising my DS. They weren’t generous and they complained when I needed help, or they helped but let me know how much of an inconvenience it was to need to watch their grandson, it interfered with their exercise schedule or their card game with friends. I eventually stopped asking them. Now they’re asking for help as they age. [/quote]
