[quote=Anonymous]I relate to so much of what you all have written. Very dysfunctional FOO. Golden child is a train wreck with constant drama and chaos, but remains GC for going to ivy league schools and getting fancy degrees. She is addicted to chaos and my parents got sucked in every time. I am blamed for finally after many years detaching.

Mom has no emotional control system and flies off the handle easily. She is completely enmeshed with GC. Let's just say if I robbed a bank she would rightfully be furious and lashing out at me constantly. If GC did she would like in her defense, gaslight everyone around, pay for the best criminal lawyer and still brag about her.

It took me so many years to give up people pleasing, rescuing and getting sucked into drama. I keep a very distant relationship with major rock solid boundaries.

I sleep better and can manage stress better since distancing myself. If you offered me 20 million dollars, I would still refuse to get sucked back into that mess.[/quote]
