[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you might be more forgiving when you come into your mother’s shoes as a parent with adult children. You may not know exactly why she is emphasizing praise to your brother. Maybe your brother is secretly suffering from depression and needs the extra attention? Maybe she is trying to get him to participate and do more? She probably thinks you are a strong person and don’t need the extra attention that your no so mentally strong brother needs. Your mother is not perfect, and neither are you.[/quote]

Brilliantly put PP. I agree. Most people posting things like that are truly childish and they do not give any slack to their parents and the word narcissistic is heavily overused here. Next time their mother SINS against the sensitivity with some simple aging person's quirks ask yourself .. does she have enough credit for raising  you to let go your little drama?[/quote]

Well my experience has been the opposite. As I became a mother and have grown older, I feel more and more horrified at things my mom did growing up.[/quote]

Same.

When I would tell stories of growing up, it was the expressions of horror on other people’s faces that made me realize how abusive it all was.

I rarely speak of that time period.

The people who blame the children are interesting to observe. They are either clueless or have bad intentions.
