DearPrudie: How do I keep my parents from blaming themselves?

I am a soon to be college graduate in the field of Psychology, with plans to take a gap year before I begin a Ph.D. program. I have received several job offers for this period of time, specifically, one to teach an Intro to Psych class at my old high school. The high school I attended was a very strict, conservative protestant school with VERY antiquated and offensive views on sex, love, and gender.

Throughout my experiences in high school and looking back, I have always known that if I had a little support from the adults at my school, even just one to tell me that I’m not a monster, that I’m not alone and my god didn’t hate me, my experience would have been so much better.

My wife has found one friend in Nan, our neighbor. Nan has an 11-year-old daughter herself: Anne. They come over, at least three times a week, for dinner or a movie night. I am fine with family time being neighbor time because it makes my wife happy and Nan and her kid are genuinely alright to be around. My problem is that Nan and my wife keep pushing our daughter to be “besties” with her kid and take her along when our daughter goes out with her friends.Anne is “quirky” at best.
