I find this statement telling.  So basically youre willing to overlook and normalize her bad behavior?  And you're angry at him for being unwilling to do so?[/quote]

This..

Maybe bro should go no contact and be done with narc mommy and her flying monkey enablers.

13 is when kids start to be more independent, focused on peers and own interests = not good sources of narc supply anymore. Maybe she tried to make him her surrogate spouse when husband was ill or died and he resisted. I'm sure he has his reasons for his feelings. It is not up to you to police their relationship. This happens in plenty of dysfunctional families, at least he is honest about it.

Your brother plays the "truth teller" or "scapegoat" role in your family. Which role are you, OP? Were you the "golden child?" Good to figure it out because all of you are warped in different ways and it will impact you all your life in work, friend and love relationships without insight. [/quote]
