Here’s the deal - I am an adult - 41 - and I have this one parent that no matter what I do they are never happy with it. Now, here’s the kicker - this parent will tell others, you know strangers, about how much they love me or or how proud of me they are. However, when it’s just in their house or on THEIR property…it’s gripe and complain, belittle, and smash…This parent has even admitted to doing this belittling behavior to satisfy themselves. It breaks my heart. I try really hard to make them happy. I just can’t seem to do anything right.
Of course I can hear them say…they just want want help. No, what this parent wants is control. Something, that I am not willing to give up anymore.

I just want advice on how to deal with them. I am moving away from them due to this. It sucks, because I love being with the other parent.
Thank you for your time!!!
