[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abuse is so often a family disease, and so often a generational one.

The problem is that it’s very likely all these relationships are all dysfunctional with enabler and codependents and all kinds of sticky things.

You now know these peoples intentions towards you are not good, which is a hurtful, but at least honest place to be. Be empowered by that and choose to surround yourself with people that will love you and have your back instead. [/quote]

This. Eventually they will likely turn on eachother, for now they get along having a common enemy-you. In my husband's family we took a break from MILs abuse and became the scapegoats. Years later they are all estranged from eachother and everyone who was married except us is divorced. Some people never realize the dysfunction and so they never get help to break patterns.[/quote]
This! This is what happens. It happened in DH family. My DH’s aunt and his cousins rallied with MIL when he pulled away. They all attacked him and sided with her. I think she assumed they took her in and she had become one of them. I guess she was devastated when they couldn’t find time for her around the holidays. They completely left her out. [/quote]
