[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the PP who posted the link.  I always thought my parents were emotionally abusive, but it is pretty bad when you read it and every line applies to them.

Some classic, often repeated lines are:
"Do you really think you could have done anything in your life without us?"
"You're a shitty lawyer.  I would be so much better if I had the parents you did." (I'm great at my job and if anything my parents hindered me.  My grandparents happily paid for my dad to go to college - and he spent the whole time in a drug haze and never graduated).

OH I could go on.[/quote]

I am still in denial and disbelief that my mom meets nearly everything on that list. While venting to my husband about my mom recently, he referred to it as emotional abuse. When he first said it, I thought it sounded like a strong term so I just googled it and was shocked that she met nearly all of those on the list. It's even worse that my father and siblings accept her for it and often blame me - even though she does the same thing to them! I haven't decided what to do about my relationship with her. [/quote]
