[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a guest article written by a boomer that studies gerontology. It’s very much from the boomer perspective as this is the generation most likely to become estranged due to their behaviors. Sure it would be nice for these people if they never faced consequences for their behavior and got to enjoy mistreating everyone around them under the umbrella ‘ your family, you have to put up with it’! However, it’s healthier for others to build connections with others who are respectful, enjoyable company and not entitled.[/quote]

Exactly this. My mother in law is a malignant narcissist and her daughters and my fil are her enforcers. My dh escaped a very abusive controlling family. He was the only child to move out of their home before their 30s. They were at best constantly inappropriate and more commonly rude and hateful. Every member of the family excluding dh hates women.  Both dh and I stood up to their rudeness and set boundaries and they would repeat again and again that as family they could do and say whatever they wanted. They found out.

I can see them spouting this garbage. [/quote]
