[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always strikes me as sad how mean spirited and vengeful some of the descriptions of mean family members are[b]. I'm sure these posters are completely unaware of how these posts come off. It's hard to tell whose side to choose..[/b]..[/quote]

You sound like my brother, who I posted about and love. He turns others' feelings into attacks and can't imagine that their hurt feelings are genuine. Any attempt at self protection is seen as weakness and s character flaw.[/quote]

Who is asking anyone to take sides?

Is it difficult to believe that people are estranged from family? I tried to set simple boundaries with my sister. She would not respect my boundaries. I had no choice after my parents died but to go no contact with her. [/quote]

I’m not the poster you’re addressing, but I was a +1. And I’m estranged from my sister. It’s natural  when you read any post that’s subjective that you’re evaluating that poster’s perspective. Especially in a family issue/conflict since there are so many perspective and sides (my own personal situation included). Some of the posters on here do seem like they’re contributing to the dysfunction with their sibling. I think that’s what the poster meant that you’re responding to.[/quote]

I was the +2. If you said “brother” instead of “sister”,  I would’ve thought we were the same person.

+1 to you[/quote]
