So my childhood was very hard I won’t go into details but basically both my parents stress me out. They divorced a long time ago my dad struggled to get his s**t together and now is 70 and in a really bad spot in life, I whenever he calls me it’s just to rant about how depressed he is and how hard his life is and I always leave the conversation depressed or in a bad mood
My mom is very mentally ill and projects all her anxiety on me, constantly puts me down or talks about work (and I’ve told her multiple times I don’t like to talk about work when I’m not at work)
I love my parents but I always avoid their phone calls because of this and they always confront me about it when I see them in person.
Am I a bad person for doing this?
