[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nieces and nephews should not be caught in the cross fire. I think it’s sweet of your sibling to be in touch with your kids.[/quote] Let's say you have friends you socialize with together with your kids. Over time you realize that friend doesn't respect boundaries and causes chaos. She is repeatedly trying to suck you into her dramas and she doesn't seem to have much accountability. You suggest she talk to a therapist because you cannot take anymore of this, but you think a professional would be helpful. You normalize it by saying it has helped you. She refuses and just wants to emotionally dump on you. You set more limits and she ignores them. You decline get togethers and she guilt trips and tries to manipulate you rather than accepting "no" You are emotionally exhausted dealing with her and you finally distance. You explain why. Then, she sends your kids gifts and cards. Do you find that sweet?[/quote]
