[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In most instances with parents it's not a 2-sided story. Like what? One side was/is a child and the other side an adult. It's like saying abusive situations have 2 sides: they do not! One is a perpetrator and the other is a victim! If the perpetrators paint themselves as victims, it doesn't make it 2 sides! It's just delusion, rewriting of history and inability to take accountability. In the end OP, you don't owe your parents anything. If they're awful, they're awful, if you disappear from the face of the Earth, there's nothing they can do. What your sibling does is up to her. [/quote]

This is spot on and really resonates with me.  I have a parent who does terrible things and then says "Everyone has their own truth."  When I say terrible things, a recent example is telling her kids not to visit after surgery because she needs a break from everybody, and then saying "When I woke up, all I wanted was to see your faces, but I know everyone is busy."  Delusional!!!  Some people are just screwed up.[/quote]
