[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our upbringing was far from perfect and we grew up in a divorced family, but both my parents really did care about us and tried their best. There were no major problems like physical/emotional/sexual abuse or substance addictions, and we always had our needs met. Yet my siblings have become huge drama queens as adults and pretend that my parents did a bad job when in reality we probably had a better childhood than 85% or more of this country. My siblings have a decent relationship with my parents but don’t respect them and constantly talk s*** behind their backs and it’s always about something really petty. Why are they like this?[/quote]
It’s a social media virus- if your parents weren’t perfect in the way you wanted them to be, then they are terrible people, probably “narcs,” and you’re entitled to treat them with maximum scorn. It’s even better to cut them off.

All you can really do is say, Sister I don’t feel that way and I don’t want to participate in this kind of discussion. I’ll talk to you later.

Then you hang up or leave. It really sucks, but that’s where we are.[/quote]
This. It’s really toxic. [/quote]
