14/m my parents are always talkin about how bad life used to be for them. They keep telling me how they used to get beaten for everything they did wrong. I know i'm not perfect and i deserve punishment sometimes, but this is torture! I made it known that im not interested in hearing these depressing stories and its like they don't hear me because they keep telling the stories. and its not even like they change it up, cuz they don't. I just got in trouble for saying i didn't want to hear it again about 2 hrs ago. How can i let them know that i don't want to hear the stories anymore? What should i do? plz help. thx

Put yourself in their shoes..right now..can YOU imagine getting BEATEN for anything...have you ever even been hit by a parent..let me tell you..it is REALLy bad.
Sit them down..tell them that you FEEL for them..that they had such a bad life..tell them you love them and appreciate them..but the stories are so awful..that You are getting upset just listening to them.
If they keep on...plug your ears and leave the room.
