Stop feeling obligation toward them, especially since they make you feel so bad. Maybe stop visiting them and stop allowing them to visit you and just communicate via e-mail from now on, or if what you really want is to have them out of your life for good, then do it. You owe them NOTHING.

I haven't seen or spoken to my parents for years. I would eventually start talking again for a short time but I'd get sucked back into the negative feeling like I'm a loser and a fami!y embarrassment of they would constantly talk about my brother, and how he was killing it i.e. Money, job, professional standing, etc. I'm glad he .com g well but my parents did it to reinforce my place. So I finally figured out FORGET THEM and stopped communicating.
