Rolling with the punches

[Redo]

the problem is that my family (parents+aunt) got involved after they saw me 'lose it' when my W filed for D. Now they are quick to talk bad about my W. My mom especially starts going off into the woods with her hatred for my W and her family.

So yes while i appreciate that my parents are here to give me company and provide some emotional support, I also have to handle this other side, especially from mom who i think spews too much hate. In the past i used to get engulfed in that. Now i am able to screen and tune out her vitriol.

I guess sometimes i do use my parents as a lifeboat to express my loss of family. Sometimes they do help me see the big picture. Other times i repent as to why i told them my issues.

Its complicated.
