Mental illness for one IL. Abusive and nasty behavior from the MIL. It was unrelenting. Typical narcissistic abuse cycle.

I would have cut those people off sooner if they were my own parents, tbh.

Then why would anyone want to share with you. Nope.

Mom told me she was relieved after my brother killed himself in large part because of how badly she and my stepfather treated him.
