[quote=Anonymous]My husband was the “golden child” growing up. I don’t understand the resentment toward the golden child or why anyone cares what their f*cked up parents think. His dad was a raging alcoholic. His mother was codependent and made DH into her confidant much younger than he should have been. DH dealt with all of this by trying to be perfect so that his mom wouldn’t have to worry about him. His brother identified more with their dad growing up, and he dealt with the dysfunction by getting into trouble and pulling the attention away from dad. They are both deeply wounded adults that have brought some level of that childhood dysfunction into their adult lives. [/quote]
