[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was your daughter allowed to bully your son? You write as if she did it for years. Is that true?[/quote]

It sounds like OP is heavily biased in favor of her son, down to her rationalizing him shaking (!) his sister, so I think there’s more to this story.[/quote]

This!

Sound like OP enabled the abuse FOR YEARS.  She also favored her son, still does, and doesn’t recognize the childhood trauma of probably all her children, but especially her daughter.  OP, seriously you need to recognize your part in all this and get therapy.  Then get to know your adult children as adults, not as their mother who enabled all their trauma and caused lifelong scars.  Recognize your part TO YOUR DAUGHTER.  If my brother abused me like that and my mother called me “sensitive” about it I would never want to speak with her again either. I would be on a path to healing and lopping off all the childhood trauma and toxicity.  Luckily, I don’t have this situation.

Your only option is to recognize the past is over and fix the future.  Your kids don’t have to get along.  Sad but you caused that.  Maybe someday they can each heal and realize they have things in common, but you are certainly not going to be the catalyst that makes that happen.[/quote]
