[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HI, OP here. I am wishing for someone to provide me with a solution to all of this but I suppose there isn't. My mom was saying things to me like, "I know that this family has problems [because she can sense that I and my sister don't like to be around my dad], I know you hate your father, but what can we do to make things better? What has to happen? What was so horrible about your childhood?" And when I respond with an example of my dad's abusive behavior, she says something like "Well, you have to acknowledge that everyone has their own version of things, and i am sure you realize that the way you remember it may not actually be the way it happened."[/quote]

I'm 17:39.

Be factual. Say you have researched the issue and believe your father to have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and her to have a co-dependent relationship with him, hence the sad fact that she will always enable him and will never adequately defend you. Say that children of a certain age are actually reliable recorders of facts, especially if all the children of the same family remember the same events and the way that event made them feel.

Finally, tell her that you do not want your children to be exposed to potential abuse.

Be firm, calm and assertive.[/quote]
