Caught in the Middle
It is important to stay neutral and not take sides between your parents.
It can be hard to remain neutral with your parents, but you don’t have to choose a side. Remain firm, use “I” messages such as “I can’t be in the middle” or “It’s not okay to put me in this position.” The more consistent you are with these messages the more they will stick with your parents.
