[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 627227, member: 17635"] Whoa and Wow, and Ouch. I have [B]often[/B] thought about this in my family. My brother (only sibling) and i build each other up, we support each other--as this board does--and it is, oh so helpful/valuable---to have that. My parents tear down, find fault (disguising it as "just worried"), as do my father in law and sister in law. husband and i keep contact to the minimum necessary for keeping relationships with them. We both have many beautiful memories of our parents (mother in law has been deceased for 12 years), but there has also been pain. Our parents are 83, 84 and 90, so that plays into our roles. This has been interesting reading...eye-opening for my own life. Difficult choices to weigh--sometimes clear cut, sometimes not so much. [/QUOTE]
