[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean my oldest has spent the last couple of years conjuring a weird narrative about how she had a shitty childhood and bad parents and I suspect that’s being encouraged by a therapist. So that’s been fun. [/quote]

I’m sorry to hear this. Another tough situation.[/quote]

She didn't, of course. She's just always been drawn to tragedy -- goes out of her way to befriend people who've lost parents/siblings, the ones struggling with depression and suicide ideation (she went through a phase of that herself, hence the therapist). We, her parents, did divorce five years ago and so that's legit trauma we've tried to help her through. But that's the only real tragedy in her life. Otherwise, she's wanted for nothing, had loads of support growing up, was always encouraged and cheered through her various interests. She's high-achieving, etc. But has somehow decided we sucked. She loves to lecture us on how we parent her sister (who's now a college student herself), has a history of being easily aggrieved by alleged wrong-doing by other parties (i.e. teammates, other parents in marching band in HS, teachers ... ). A year ago she floated the question of whether she had been sexually abused to her uncle (she wasn't). It's the weirdest thing. It's like she wants to wallow in tragedy and doesn't really have any in her life so she is inventing it. [/quote]
