• I have a hard time imagining both those lines coming from the same person. Maybe, I guess? But I agree, 1 is loving and supportive; 2 is mean & hurtful.

    What a terrible family op (greentext op) must have.

    • All I can say is that, yes, this absolutely happens to people. Sometimes abuse is loud, bold, and psychologically twisted like this. Other times, it’s well-placed silence.

      PSA: If you have anyone you care about with bad family like this, and know you can provide a better environment for just a few hours, have them over for a family meal. You’ll make a friend for life.

      It’s great that you’ve never had a passive aggressive family member to deal with.
