[QUOTE="katya02, post: 301354, member: 2884"] Just wanted to add my support too, Witz. Coping with toxic parent relationships as an adult s**ks. You want a healthy relationship, you want to stay connected with extended family, and you want to be able to do the things for parents that become appropriate as parents age ... but it's impossible. If people have behaved abusively or in a toxic way all their lives, and don't make major changes in the way they deal with people, then they will still be toxic as seniors. It's so hard to come to terms with the idea that a healthy adult relationship with them may never be possible, without others interfering and judging. You've done what you need to do to keep yourself sane and healthy. Refusing to be hoovered back into toxic situations takes a lot of strength. I'm glad your husband is supportive on this. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
