Family Triggers
Family can be a significant source of stress, especially during the holidays. Recognize that people rarely change; past behaviors often predict future actions.

Embrace the idea that you can choose not to take things personally and rise above the situation.In this clip

Why are my parents, both around 50, so emotionally immature and manipulative, as discussed in the episode "Recovering from Complex PTSD with Elizabeth Ferreira" from the Being Well Podcast, and in the clip "Family Dynamics Unraveled," as well as in episode 379: "How to Deal with a Cheating Dad | Feedback Friday" and the clip "Family Boundaries"? I've been able to meditate, journal, and improve myself, even overcoming my own manipulation habits. Why don't they want to change to treat us better? Is it crazy to think they got together with their problems, didn't fix them, and then had children, putting all their problems and pain on us? Are they really that far gone, thinking their children are responsible for every bad thing happening, or do they genuinely believe it's right to scream at their children?
