Hello Jess1989WI: Well... Christmas is about over for another year. Of course, New Year's Eve is coming up. I pray that you will be able to find peace in your life. I would have to agree with what CassyO wrote. You have to protect yourself. Your parents are adults, whether they act like it or not. You cannot take care of them. There is nothing you should be doing about this situation.

Of course, if you are living with them in their home that does certainly complicate matters. If you do, the best thing that you can do, perhaps, is to make arrangements to get out on your own as soon as it is feasible. This probably sounds harsh. But the reality is, from my perspective, that your parents will continue to ensnare you in this web of conflict for as long as you allow it to happen. You can't change it. I wish you well...
