[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the mom was "abusive" and OP "distanced" herself from the family on purpose long ago.

TYPICAL DCUM POST BURYING THE LEAD

She writes a friggin' novel for her first post then after everybody chews her out she returns with these critical missing details.

Screw you. I was upset as I was writing the initial post.

Another poster accused me of writing too long of an initial post and now I didn't write enough. [/quote]

Ah, ok, so now we see your true self.  You're unhinged.  And not very nice.  Another thing that was very clear from your first post if that there was more than one side to this story.  You've now confirmed it.

You need help alright.  But of the professional kind.  A therapist.  You don't need our help.[/quote]p

Honestly, everyone in this family seems dreadful. There’s no one to root for here.[/quote]

I’m rooting for the brother.  He is taking care of parents solo while also dealing with op’s bs.[/quote]

Not me. He chose to MOVE BACK to his parents’ town and is now shocked Pikachu face that he is the primary caregiver? DUH.[/quote]

He probably wasn’t cynical enough to see the reality of most of these situations: once the in-town sibling is stuck, the remote siblings cynically minimize their involvement with plausible-seeming excuses: “oh, i just can’t get there this week” or “oh, one month is not enough notice if you are planning to be gone for a week.”  There are no good answers at this stage of life: its a high-stakes game of chicken where whomever cares least wins.[/quote]
