[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound very sincere in wanting to bridge this communication gap but it also sounds like you may have a tendency to ruminate and spiral. It also sounds like your parents are struggling with how to handle those moments. I'd try to work on this with them through family therapy if they are open to it. I don't think NC is the right tool here. You focus on your parents only wanting to hear good news and moving on quickly from problems, such as your job. If I think someone's problems may be in large part due to their own actions and they are not in a headspace to hear that, I'll try to pivot the conversation. If that's what's happening here, you may read that as emotional neglect, while your parents may experience it as sparing your feelings. [/quote]
