Lark, what would happen if you told your parents you miss the way all of you used to communicate? Maybe write it out and practice ahead of time to avoid "over sharing"?
You've mentioned this problem in other threads. I have NEVER seen you over share here at PC. Your posts are articulate and well written. Can you use those skills verbally when talking to your parents?
Having said that, do you over share with anyone besides your parents? The reason I ask is because I used to do something similar with my father and husband. Like you said, I would vomit words trying to get them to hear and understand me. The problem was not with me though. The problem was they did not give a rat's butt and did not want to listen. Your parents' behavior sounds similar. They're behavior is rude and inconsiderate.
