[quote=Anonymous]OP I get it. My mother has always tried to manipulate me by bragging about the golden Child and Golden cousins' successes. I just assumed I was garbage my whole life. So So I built a nice live and am doing well and happily married.

The Goldens are a mess, but they still can do no wrong. Here is a strange example. I went through 2 stages where I told normal kid lies. As a toddler if you asked me who ate the cookies I would have an elaborate story about cookie monster sneaking into the house and as a  teen i lied about trying beer with a friend-didn't get drunk, took 2 sips and hated it, but she smelled it and I lied.  Nothing major. She still tells these stories and makes me sound like a criminal and goes on and on about how moral the Golden was.

Golden has done something highly corrupt at her job and my mother had the nerve to expect me to comfort her for dealing with the consequences-the logical and reasonable consequences and she is still considered the Golden. I operate with the upmost integrity at work and in life and no way am I comforting someone who deserved even more severe consequences.

Golden Cousin got in trouble for the SEC at a financial job. Still golden. Still considered the epitome of morality. It was apparently all a big mistake in her mind.

When she gushes about these people I just tune out and give a few distant "uh...huhs" and roll my eyes to myself. I don't respect her so i don't need to prove anything.

Good luck OP!![/quote]
