Dealing with Parents

• Are your parents still happily married?
• Maybe married, but not happy? 
• Divorced?
• Remarried? 
• Having trouble keeping all the new family members straight? 
• Do you have new siblings?

Sometimes you can get lost in all the family drama.  It's really important to take care of yourself and find others who can help support you when times are tough.

Negotiating your changing relationship with your parents can feel like walking through a field full of land mines. You want some privacy and they want to know everything going on in your life.

You are trying to figure yourself out without their help. How much should you tell them? Trying to keep the lines of communication open will usually help you gain their trust.
