[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threw a glass of wine in my face. She is a recovered alcoholic and this was at a low point. Implied often that I was not as smart as my brother, not motivated, etc. I may not be as smart as him but we both went to Ivy League schools so I wasn’t that much of a loser! [b]I’ve come to recognize that these are her issues, not mine. [/quote][/b] This is key. Parents are human, have their own crap. My husband and his family literally tried (and failed) to have me arrested for non-existent child abuse. It only stopped when social services said they would turn the tables on THEM. It was mainly about money. I know my kids are traumatized by it because I was scared a lot of the time, but the reality of what was going on was lost on them due to their young ages. Their memories therefore are not accurate. To correct them would mean more trauma so, in a sense, I throw myself under the bus. [/quote]
