[quote=Anonymous]I realized I didn't like my mom in my early 20s.  She has an inability to take responsibility for any of her actions and is self-obsessed and completely lacks self-awareness.  Talking to her is a broken record that has been playing for 20 years.  She also has a very devious mean streak.  If she's not getting her way and she isn't the center of attention, she will make everyone else's life a living hell if she can.  Further nail in the coffin - she has zero interest in my kids (see self-obsessed).

My dad, I still like.  However, he is an apologist and defender for my mother and not willing to call her on any bullshit ever.  He's made it clear he's picking her and not us (his kids).  So while I don't mind his company, I don't see him often.  I will still talk to him on the phone with some regularity.

I grew up in the kind of family where there are layers upon layers of unspoken truths.  All the things we all know and can see, but we're not supposed to ever talk about or if we do talk about it, we are made to pay the price.  My opinion is this is TOXIC.  And the longer it goes on, the relationships are just a farce.  That's where my original nuclear family is.[/quote]
