Really stupid comparison.
You were a kid, remember, and didn't know any better.
They are adults and should know better.

You're trying to justify the unjustifiable.[/quote]

One of the wonderful things about being an adult is that I have so much more control over my circumstances and relationships. As a kid, I HAD to put up with my parents, my siblings, teachers, classmates, etc. no matter how they treated me, because I had very limited control over my circumstances, living arrangement, school, etc.

Now that I'm an adult, I don't have to tolerate being mistreated. Nobody gets to talk to me the way that my sister did growing up. I'm sure my parents have their opinions on a lot of things in my life, but MY opinions matter more than theirs now. When I was a kid, it was the opposite.

I love and respect my parents, and they love and respect me, even though we see the world very differently. But they don't get to treat me like shit and expect me to put up with it, just because they're my parents (and they never would!). Nobody gets to talk to me/treat me worse than you would a complete stranger and expect me to tolerate it, just because "we're family." And if you WOULD treat a stranger that badly, then you're an awful person and the natural consequence of that is that nobody wants to be around you. [/quote]

You all were born to take revenge from your parents.  :lol: Entertaining drama. [/quote]

No need to take "revenge." Just don't engage at all. Let them deal with themselves. Problems with the elderly work themselves out.[/quote]
