I just can't wrap my head around the fact that grown adults (my mom and siblings) can all live in such dysfunctional/dishonest ways.
WTBH, ((((hugs))))
Actually I can. All I have to do is look at my own behavior when I still lived with my AW. It was totally dysfunctional and dishonest. I covered and lied for her to protect her and was drowning in the deep end of the codie pool.
To be honest, the current me wouldn't have anything to do with the old me. I was way too toxic.
