Interfering Parents

If your parent is interfering with your relationship, it’s important to communicate openly and honestly with both your parent and your partner.

Start by setting boundaries with your parent and letting them know that their behavior is not acceptable. You may need to be firm and clear about what you will and will not tolerate, and you may need to limit your contact with your parent if their interference continues.

It’s also important to communicate with your partner about the situation and how it’s impacting your relationship. Make sure that your partner understands that your parent’s behavior is not a reflection of your feelings for them and that you are committed to your relationship.

If the situation continues to escalate or becomes emotionally abusive, it may be helpful to seek support from a therapist or counselor. A mental health professional can help you to develop strategies for dealing with your parent’s behavior and can provide a safe and supportive space for you to process your feelings.

Ultimately, it’s important to prioritize your own well-being and the health of your relationship. While it may be difficult to navigate complex family dynamics, setting boundaries and seeking support can help you to establish a healthy and fulfilling life for yourself and your partner.
