[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YOU lack self-awareness if you can't see you're a victim and a martyr. Stop being such a willing participant in this dynamic. Grow up, open your mouth, say no.[/quote] I do, but it puts my mother in a terrible position where she bears the brunt of his anger once I say anything. [/quote] That's HER choice to be a doormat. That's HER choice to allow him to treat her that way, with no real consequences. You are not responsible for HER choices. You are responsible for you. The fact that this is a post about lacking self-awareness is laughable. In a sad way.[/quote] You are not responsible for “protecting” your mom. By the way — it’s also her choice to put up with his crap, and her choice to not defend you to him. Please read about codependency. [/quote]
