[quote=Anonymous]I think gaslighting can play a big part too. When you live closer and see them more often, you see the deterioration more clearly. After enough years of playing nice, helping the sibling to udnerstand what you see, dealing with horrid behavior, getting "orders" from the backseat driver sibling and having them tell you, you are crazy until they FINALLY see the issues....can make you pretty resentful. It's easier to get over the resentment perhaps if it's a few years of this. The reality for many of us, is our parents can live a very long time declining into an angry, paranoid, entitled loon. Somehow in my family, even as the deteriorate cognitively the ability to throw verbal grenades is quite sharp and every manipulative tactic they ever tried in your childhood reappears.[/quote]
