I couldn't understand why they just couldn't deal with their issues without putting me in the middle. I'm so sorry, hon. Wish I could go back and smack them for you. :) I, too, became the marriage counselor/psychologist in my high school/college years, and I hated it.

I'm definitely not angry because I think anger implies blame. And I can't bring myself to blame people for what it seems they can't help @Nanna: When it's all said and done, I think intention is the most important part of parenting. My parents never intended to hurt me or my brother. In fact, they intended the best for us, perhaps they even thought they were preparing us or protecting us? For that? I love and adore them so much. As I am SURE your kids do, as well. @Dede: "Thanks for bringing up a topic that so many are reluctant to discuss, for fear that they are being disrespectful. I know you better than that. And, I admire deeply your honesty and expression." Thank *YOU* Dede for saying that. @Searching: Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate your honesty and all I can say is that these things take time, you know? @Slyde: Yeah, I think sad is a good way to describe how I feel about it.
