[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My twin and I were both successful. On our own since age 18. National level athletes and very good students. My parents deemed me fat dumb and lazy and would have gotten rid of me if they could have gotten away with it. My brother and I did quite well financially with top flight educations paid for on our own. My mother was an addict and later in life just wanted money and didn’t care whether the money came from the son she thought was a loser or her other son. We reluctantly paid to keep a roof over her head after they divorced.  Didn’t have any relationship with our father although the last time I talked to him before he died  he reminded me I was a fat dumb and lazy loser. My being really highly educated and successful really ate at him and he doubled down with hatred. He was kicked out of college and was a bubbling cauldron of insecurity. My parents favored my late brother but he did not need them one iota. He was very well off (beyond even upper class standards) and my parents were frustrated he did not give them more money. They had to know they were abusive failures as parents and they were unhappy over the consequences. My brother was dominating and brilliant and they really played their cards wrong. [/quote]

Very sorry for this experience.[/quote]
