[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675958, member: 1550"] It was a little different with me. I blamed myself, because I was a differently wired child and difficult, but I also knew SHE was to blame as well. She never got a free pass from me, which is probably what she didn't like. Nobody in my FOO got a free pass, not even the grandmother who loved me so much and whom I loved so much in return. But I didn't absolve myself either. I realize now, the family unit, all of them, were a part of the problem, including me. We had stereotyped roles too (Dr. Phil is doing a show on family roles right now...lol). Golden Child (Bro) Lost Child (Sis) Scapegoat (Me) Digressing, I knew at a very young age that things were kind of crazy in my house and that, while I was part of that crazy, I was not the only one. I loved my mother once. I don't know how I feel about sis and bro now. They are not around. I most certainly don't need or miss them. [/QUOTE]
