May I hijack this thread? I'd like to get some advice on how to deal with... hmm passive/agressive parents?
For example, I have the feeling they almost always talk in a sarcastic way with me. They often make fun of the things I enjoy or try to talk me out of it.
Example: I'm getting in great shape. I go to the gym.
Before the gym, I was a little blob. Of course I was too fat.
Now I go to the gym. -> Why do you go to the gym all the time? Waste of time!
The ask me about some plans, I tell them. Then they immediately forget. I stop telling them abut plans, they complain I don't tell them anything anymore.
Sometimes I go nuts and start to yell because of all this bullshit.
Any hints how to deal with this to smooth things out? I don't want to stop communicating.
