[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elderly parent asked me today if it was difficult to work on the house with my sibling.

This parent gets off on disagreements and drama, and I didn't want to feed that. I asked them to expand on what they meant by "difficult." They wouldn't explain, so I said I couldn't understand what they were asking and so couldn't answer their question. "I'm just curious," they said.

Man, that felt good. This elderly parent has created issues between us siblings (lying about things to make others angry) for whatever reason, and the three of us have been caught in a Drama Triangle. Once I learned about the Drama Triangle, I exited it from it and now sibling and elderly parent yell at each other and fight from time to time.

Things are progressing! I've spoken to contractors and vendors about tasks that need to get done. I just keep recalling what some of you said about ripping the Band Aid off and risking getting yelled at. The yelling part is really nothing new anyway, so I should be used to it.
