So Nmom and Nsiblings are a bunch of lying, manipulative, exploitative, controlling, toxic assholes. I'm the scapegoat who chooses truth over kissing Nmom's ass. Some of my siblings are quite aware that Nmom is toxic, and yet they choose to participate in the abusive behavior. One of their favorite tools is gossip/smear campaign.
I've overheard them talk about me so many times over the years. It's usually about:
- How disrespectful I am (when I say No and set boundaries)
- That I'm difficult (when I refuse to join family events because they bully me)
- That I'm selfish (because I don't want to let them exploit and take advantage of me)
- How much they dislike me (and yet they force me to be present for them or look for me when they need something)
- Plans on how to manipulate me to do what they want (Yep, I frequently overhear them make plans and strategies on how to join forces and control me)
And so much more. What are your experiences?
