[quote=Anonymous]Been there, and also know others from this kind of family. You grow up feeling like something must be terribly wrong with you, because the people who program you from birth treat you so badly. He needs to start setting boundaries (I recommend the book Boundaries), and do work on understanding that he's okay, but they're not. They've been wrong all along. And they can't change, so it's up to him to remove himself from that dynamic and re-parent himself. Everyone I know with this kind of family does extremely limited contact. Even when you've had years to build yourself up and deprogram and have come to accept how they are, it's still damaging to spend time with them.[/quote]
