[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm jealous of people who had normal childhoods with healthy parents.

I'm jealous of people who can have functional relationships with their parents as adults.

I'm jealous of people whose mother doesn't lie and gaslight to their faces and then posts about  God and Jesus all over Facebook to all her friends crowing about what a wonderful Christian she is.

Why wasn't I deserving of good parents?[/quote]

I often think this, too. I wonder what I did in a past life to deserve this. Was I a Nazi? I must have done something horrible.

Like others, I do not trust people and have difficulty asking for help. It's probably hurt me professionally. I'm used to being in "go it alone" mode, bc that's what I did to survive.

In middle age I've tired of people who are tiring like my mother and mil. I only want to deal with people who are straightforward, no drama. I have to find that outside our families though. SIL's new boyfriend is a jerk. I don't want to be around anyone who is exhausting.[/quote]

Me too OP, me too. Once my mom passed away I was sad for the relationship we never had, but it was ultimately a relief. So there is that to look forward to.

I'm completely over exhausting drama filled relatives too. It's not like they actually help me when I have actually problems (not drama.)[/quote]
