[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure you have middle child syndrome. It sounds more like you got a bit ignored, you made a huge effort, your family took total advantage of that, and now gaslights you when you have a backbone. [/quote] And gaslighting is abusive, so I wonder what the deeper family dysfunction is. I always jump to "personality disorders". OP, it sounds like you have had trouble enforcing boundaries in the past, and that your family has no problem walking all over you. But you've already made a lot of progress, and you are in thetapy. You should feel good about that. Just keep up with the boundaries, and keep going. I am a Cindy Brady from another dysfunctional family, and I feel for you. The Jan in my family was dealt a bad hand, but we all were.[/quote]
