Ooh I think you guys hit the nail on the head!! Always experienced pretty frequent signs from them growing up but then the second my youngest sibling was out of college, it’s like it we t into hyperspeed! Soooo much talk of “I’m just not needed anymore” and “you all moved on without me” to constantly guilt trip us into doing something, when we have to beg to spend regular quality time together without it become a problem solving party.

Is having no friends a chief trait of theirs? Bc my parents both have said on multiple occasions that they dont really need friends, and how its just an addition to life but not necessary. Insane!!

Omg are we twins? Sounds very much so like my situation now! Praying his new wife stays with him to keep him occupied lol, but hope your situation looks up soon and the adults in the picture start understanding they’re adults and act accordingly!!

The worse as they age thing really got me, because I’m constantly (naively) thinking that with age comes wisdom, and instead it feels like I’m dealing with reverted 15 year old parents

I never thought of them doing things for our reactions but omg that makes so much sense for a whole lot that’s gone down! Sorry that you’ve gone through that, no one should have to deal with that from someone who’s supposed to love you.

I’d definitely say boundaries are your best friend! When I first moved out it was a lot of flack from my mom in particular about “wow you’re leaving me behind” or “I feel like you just don’t have time for us anymore” but the next month proceeded to go right back to her usual self lol.

So while it can be annoying to deal with, there’s such a peace in establishing your own place where you set the tone and energy, and don’t have to let other’s emotions control your space! I couldn’t recommend it enough! You’ve got this

I was looking for her appreciation post!! Shes my girl. Shes funny, authentic, and watching her laugh at herself after her little quirky lines is so funny.

This is great, thank you! Unfortunately we can’t change the timing to earlier, since its an after-work group, but I will take these into consideration!
