It's great to see someone else dealing with the exact same issues. Reading your recent blog was like reading something I had forgotten writing about my parents. Mine too are victimes of the me generation. Their inability to emphathize and to even draw pleasure from their children's and grandchildren's joys and successes is the result of their upbringing with martini/ have-another-taste-of-my mendacity lunches (while I put you down with a zinger that boasts of the things I wish were true). I used to confront my parents when they made unfair accusations, but like you I have found that not sinking to their level dampens their egos and the likelihood of a confrontation best.
