Re: Help- how do I disagree like an adult (when not treated that way)?

(Anonymous) 2016-11-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, given your past experiences with your parents I'm not sure it's possible. You're working on financial independence and moving out. I think that's going to be your best solution, because it's a lot easier to draw and enforce boundaries when you're not dependent upon your parents for a place to live, etc.

In the meantime, I guess you could work on keeping calm and refusing to escalate even when they do. That's going to be hard, because you'd have to train yourself not to cry and get upset even though your parents are being dicks. If they start yelling, say "I don't like it when you yell at me" and LEAVE. Try to do this without crying or yelling back, but frankly, I wouldn't hope for a positive response.

Your parents aren't reasonable people. You keep trying to treat them like they are, and I get that. Unfortunately, they're not responding because while you want to be reasonable and mature about this, they don't give a shit about playing by those rules. I'd engage with them as little as possible. Be calm, be polite, but a little distant. Be as friendly with them as you would be to a total stranger.


And save money like crazy so you can get the fuck out.
