[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this dynamic growing up.    It was infuriating and as a result, I don't have much of a relationship with my mom.  My dad was much better at not making me feel invisible or like I had to just accept everything my sibling did.   And my mom didn't see that my sibling was also very manipulative.  They were smart enough to know my mom excused their behavior and they got away with a ton under the guise of "they can't help it.  You need to be more understanding".   And then, if I did something my mom didn't like, even small, I got punished.  My sibling was once so disruptive we had to leave a restaurant on my birthday and my mom got mad at me for being upset.

My parents eventually divorced once my sibling and I were out of the house because the dynamic created in our house destroyed their marriage.   It was moms way and no one could tell her otherwise.  I also don't have much of a relationship with my sibling.   [/quote]

Sorry PP.  Did your sibling “grow out of it”?[/quote]
