I understand why you feel offended, and I believe you do have a right to speak up. I'm glad your parents found something that provides them with comfort, but they still have a job to do. It is their responsibility to show you how to walk in this world - not how to hold your head up in the clouds and escape from the reality of life (no offense intended, it's just the way it appears to me with some people).

I'm sure they mean well and probably think their joy will spill over onto you. Maybe it would help if you tell them you'd prefer they focus on teaching you about the reality of life. As it is now, they are just showing off their smiles.

I hope your parents return to you.
