Dear Anita,
I never thought of that–tell my mom to stop pressuring him. I feel like in order to do this though I have to tell her right after she pressures him becasue she gets really defensive. I think I will assert myself with her when the time is right becasue the relationship between my dad and me isn’t her business.
I don’t know if I will tell my dad that I told my mom to butt out. Maybe I will. I”m not sure. My dad is so stuck in his ways that I’m not sure if it would help.
I’m close to my mom. She has made it a point to be a part of my life. We hang out about once a week and talk about every other day. She has her quirks and I get annoyed with her at times, but overall I’m appreciative that she tries.
