[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op focus less on your family of origin and focus more on your own nuclear family. [/quote] NP.!This is my approach for some similar (but not exactly the same) dynamics. My brother’s feelings, while valid for him, are not my feelings. I’m not repressing anything, we simply do not have the same life experiences. We had the same parents and household for 14 years. Who we became in our late teens, the choices we made, and who we later became in our 20-40s is different. When my brother wanted to work through his feelings with my parents he kept including me on these long winded, angry, cursing texts. I repeatedly asked to be kept out of it. He did not respect my boundary, so he is blocked until he is ready to respect my position. I’m neither validating him or my parents. It’s not my issue and I refuse to participate. I love them all, but I’m not choosing a side. Im choosing my nuclear family and the life I have created.[/quote]
