As is the case in DH family of origin, the problematic person is never confronted, never held accountable and any and all victims are considered cold hearted, overly sensitive types who can’t just move on.
Good for your DD! So sorry she has to deal with this.
My mother is similar. She hasn’t picked on my weight (she bullies me in other ways) but she and my father are vicious toward my brother’s wife. Brother is a wimp who never cut the cord and doesn’t stand up for her. I am no contact.
