So I'm kinda confused, are we making fun of these old people or the children? I've read some of the posts and they seem uhhh not weird or strange. Maybe I'm an idiot, which is true honestly.
if you put on your They Live glasses for self-pitying fluff, they're describing themselves being asshats.

I guess that reaction could also just be because this sort of content hits closer to home.
nah you're right, people like the EPs discrediting victims and excusing abusers in their own families perpetuate this poo poo far more. incels probably type the worst things in the world, but outwardly normal fucks are the ones actually doing it.

(she also was really big into the idea that “saying the words I Love You” and “not hitting her kids” meant she ended the cycle of abuse. that’s another of the running themes in these posts, half these moms are like “well MY mother beat me six ways to sunday and never apologized once, but I never abandoned her, and also I vowed to never be like her as a mom, so how dare my children complain about any comparatively minor flaws of mine”)
ridiculously common. but like a lot of the more low key crazy/abuse itt, extremely low and warped standards for how humans treat their offspring are standard symptoms of even worse crazy a generation or two back :smith:

Still not remotely as bad as a lot of people have it. I have no idea how you could retain your sanity if both of your parents were monsters.

Also, lol at the lady above talking about “plenty of followers.” Many of them truly believe their children are the de facto leaders of a cult whose sole purpose is to HURT them.
maybe someone should put them in touch with the gangstalking people. satisfy that itch without having to bother their poor loving kids.

The way she throws "humorless" in there when describing her son I assume it was something insanely racist.

When you refer to a human woman giving birth as “whelp[ing] out three babies,” you have lost perspective. While I’m sure that you love your daughter very much, and I don’t want to come down too hard on you, I’m not surprised that she loves going over to her father’s house. Your tooth-grinding misery, resentment, and hostility toward others absolutely radiated off your letter. I’d want to take a break from living with you, too. The texts you describe coming from your ex-husband’s new wife sound pretty innocuous. My guess is that she asks your permission about a lot of low-level things like buying skates because you have a history of flying off the handle when she does anything on Katy’s behalf without getting your approval first.
:drat: when did Dear Prudence columns start spitting the truth so hard? no wonder these clowns have to hide on their own forum.

I have conflicting feelings about this sort of thing. My sister has definitely distanced herself from the family, but it's not like she's some saint who did no wrong. But if you try to point anything like that out to her she just shuts down and digs in even further with the whole "you don't need your family."
if she's distanced herself from the family, she's absolutely the saint.

Get your brother to co-sign it, and not pay them another cent.

People distance themselves from family for all sorts of reasons, it's not always written in stone that the distancer is a better person or more righteous than the people being distanced from.

Of course, most of the stories we see in this thread that's the case, but it's not universally true. An addict might distance themselves from family to continue their addiction, or a father might do so from shame after being caught in an affair. Of course, anyone has the right to do that but it doesn't make it good.
unless you're like a deadbeat parent, getting tf out of someone else's life is always fine & good.
