plug? Family Drama Filter: Please help me sort out this
situation. My parents are very difficult people and I'm
considering cutting off ties. Help. <br /><br /> I feel so lost,
please help me MeFites! I'm in a vicious cycle with my parents
and I'm at the point where I'm wondering if cutting ties is the
best choice. This is very sad to me, but they are very
manipulative and I honestly don't want that in my life. Here's a
recent example of the cycle. <br> <br> Background: My parents
are still married and assume very different roles. My dad is
very much a "Yes-man" and avoids conflict like the plague. He
will completely flat-out lie to keep peace. My mother is an
absolute drama queen and makes everything out to be about her,
her feelings, her wants, whatever. I'm in my 30s and have been
financially independent from them sinc
