Many of us have felt tremendous pressure to listen to our parents' marital problems, to protect them from loneliness or worthless feelings, to give them grandchildren for their legacy. Sometimes it seems like obligation, duty, or even pity. Where do these feelings and thoughts come from? What happens when we live as a surrogate spouse, as a surrogate savior?
