[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your mom a narcissist? Yes, I know the word is throw around here a lot, but I think that is because we are now more aware of toxic behaviors and know what to call them.
Only a horribly abusive parent would say something like that.
My young adult kids will ask me who is my favorite, lol! I have two kids. I tell DD that she is my favorite daughter and that my son is my favorite son.[/quote]

I'm not sure if she's a narcissist or has another mental illness, like bipolar or something else.  All I know it that it was psychologically abusive to grow up in that environment and I've done quite a bit to overcome and not repeat the behaviors, including parenting classes.

My siblings see a bit of it now because of the things she says to their kids, but they did not experience it the way I did.  Is it worth telling then about this?

I also witnessed my mom shaming my nephew about food in an abusive sort of way.  I was a big like a deer in headlights and didn't say anything at the time.  Do I tell my sibling? Would they even believe me? Sometimes I think my sibling just passes on the abuse we experienced to their children and I'm not even sure what the right course of action is.  To be clear, it's emotional/psychological abuse only.

I won't see any of them again until the 3-5 day [b]obligatory [/b]trip next summer.  [/quote]

You and I have very different definitions of that word.  Don't be a doormat.  [/quote]
