[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my sisters is married to a guy and together they somehow decided years ago they were Adults From Dysfunctional Families. They read a book called "Toxic Parents" and feel justified in their actions. It's basically hurt their own children to be kept out of family events (except when BIL's parents spring for a cruise or dude ranch vacations). Neither family of origin is perfect of course, but not as vile as they claim. [/quote] Maybe it wasn't vile for you but that doesn't mean it wasn't vile for them. Just your statement about how it 'hurt their own children' and the snide comment the vacations provided by the ILs are indicative of the dysfunction you bring. Perhaps if you had more empathy and understanding like a PP states arise naturally in 'healthy' families, you'd be more accepting of your sister's experiences and choices. I'd keep my distance from you as well. [/quote]
