[quote=Anonymous]My mom was always the "nice one." My dad was abusive, verbally with me and physically with my sibling. My mom would always make excuses for my dad, shift guilt onto us. Recently my sibling after a year of marriage started having abusive behavior toward his wife (not hitting but a lot of other things). He is the golden child in the family, I am the scapegoat (I'm also the girl). My mother told this to another family member, blaming the daughter-in-law. On one hand, I felt vindicated because I had told people that my family was abusive but not sure anyone cared or believed me. On the other hand, I hope the wife will leave and not get sucked into the abuse cycle of my family. I'm assuming she didn't grow up with it herself like I did, so might have a chance to get out. I'm also wondering if my mom will ever take the side of the victim or if she will be the enabler for life. [/quote]
