Are you my dead mother reaching out from the grave?

I'm one of three kids of a divorced mom and dad. Depending on my mother's whim. all three of us were routinely shoved off to my dad as a set, as a pair, as a single kid, then pulled back during tantrums, then sent back, then pulled back, rinse and repeat until 18.

All she really accomplished is ensuring all three of her kids hated her and that none of the siblings had any relationships with the others.

I'm 44 and I haven't spoken with my brother or sister since my late 20s[/quote]

Why do you blame your mom for this and not (at least) equally your dad?  Dads aren't innocent in this.  Often, they are completely disengaged and the mom is trying to juggle the kids to suit the dad's mood.  Why do kids rarely seem to hold dads accountable for being a full, responsible, engaged parent?[/quote]

Uh, because it was my mom that did it? Look, she was a freaking c*nt. This is just one example of how she was a horrible mom. There are plenty and plenty of others.

My dad did the best he could coparenting with a mentally insane  tramp. He is a wonderful man. He is kind, decent, loyal, just a great guy.[/quote]
