Your parents are wrong.
I wish they could see how well respected you are here. I have no doubt that any of us, if we needed the voice of reason, would choose your voice, Dee.
You know what they say.....you can choose your friends....not your family.....damn!
I do agree with another poster who commented that now they know how not to treat their adult kids. So, even though your post was painful, we are still learning from you. Thank you, Dee.
