I think you will find it easier to let go than you imagine...

Yes, Bobby,
Sister has joked about the crappy job our parents did and told me to "get over it."

Well, I'm so over them that I am done with them. She's next but it will take me a little time -- almost like a mourning phase.

The part I bolded in your post is what my tdoc said a while a go.

I like my tdoc because she thinks my parents were exceptionally incompetent.
I asked her why mine would be any worse than those of her other patients.
She said that usually ONE parent is semi-competent and can make up for the failings of the other -- not the case here. : (
So, when she said that I felt validated -- whether it was true or not.


I'm sorry that your sister is hostile to you.
M.
