I was going to post the same thing. Some of these posts I totally understand and the poster sounds level headed. Some of the others just drop with hate. Very sad.

-10. Let me guess pp, you belong to the "never speak about the horrible things going on in the family" flavor of family. People like you look the other way when abuse happens. Good for you. Now go away and clutch your plastic pearls somewhere else.

NP here. I have one sibling, and he's really sweet. I don't see it that way at all. It seems clear on most of these posts that after a lot of suffering, PPs are creating healthy boundaries. Good for them.

Mine eventually got therapy and grew out of the abusive behavior. We now have a distant but friendly relationship. 10 years ago I would have said it was hopeless. She decided to change and I decided slowly over several years to allow her back into my life.
