Did you ally with emotionally abusive parent against the other parent?
August 26, 2018 4:53 AM Subscribe
As a child or teenager did you join with a parent that you now realize was abusive in bullying, belittling or just plain disrespecting the other parent who you now realize was being mistreated?
I'm not really referencing a specific life experience of mine, just starting to notice maybe this is a thing that happens?
If you see your child self in this scenario, was there a later time as an adult when your perspective on your parents shifted? Did you change your behavior toward your respective parents? Did you feel like you'd been manipulated by the abusive parent? Was part of the alliance to keep the abuse pointed away from yourself? Any thoughts or insights appreciated
