Older Sister Having no Support from Parents after Breakup
My older sister is going through a breakup right now and, her relationship was pretty long term, they lived together, met each other’s parents, and seemed like they were planing marriage too, pretty soon things got unhealthy with his obsession with video games, him gaining extreme amounts of weight and blaming it on her, expecting obedience from her, and then long distance when he got a new job, so they eventually ended things.
In the first week they were somewhat supportive, helping her cope, visiting her often, etc. After that they began using her breakup as an attack on her.
“Look at you! He left you for a reason.”
“He left you because you were easy, you gave him everything.”
“You’re lazy, you don’t take care of yourself, what did you expect.”
She moved back to my parents since her current apartment is her ex’s old place and I finished my finals so I came home early.
She came to my room and expressed how our parents are making her breakup so much worse.
She talks about how she believes she tolerated this her ex’s bad treatment for so long because it’s what our Asian parents treated her and made her believe was the norm.
