[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get it. My mother takes advantage of others with ease and so does one of my siblings. They both are entitled and disrespectful to people they think are beneath them. My sister parentifies her daughters and manipulates them. Everything revolves around her mood swings and needs and they walk on eggshells. it's painful to watch. My sister was awful to their father and totally unethical in how she handled the divorce and then she tried to alienate them from him. [/quote]

Op here. Yes this is similar in some ways. There is a lot of emotional and psychological abuse happening and an indifference to the needs of the kids now. I have rationalized over and over that they are doing their best but they aren’t. They are both educated and well employed professionals. They know better, they just seem to have shut off from caring about the kids and can be quite nasty now - lots of mocking them, oversharing and using them for whatever meets their own needs without much regard at all for the kids or the impact of their actions on them. The kids walk on eggshells and are always trying to avoid upsetting them and desperate for approval and love. Both now have their own big issues and they are still so young. They are seeing counsellors but have been told to only talk about school issues and not to talk to anyone about any home issues.[/quote]
