Re: Vent thread
(Anonymous) 2015-08-26 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)As someone who grew up with an abusive parent, I have to say this kind of shit gets ingrained in you. You seek approval but never really get it, and when your parents are manipulative cunts and pricks it can make it 1000000000000 times worse, especially if they can turn it around so that it seems like somehow YOU'RE the reason the familial relationship is failing or is not as good as it could be.
I agree with those who suggest therapy. Your husband needs to realize he (and you) deserves way better than this. He also needs to realize they are never going to change, and that neither of you can change them. But it's not anyone's job to change them, and definitely not his. The good part is... he doesn't owe them shit. Not after all the garbage they put him through. If he's tried and tried and tried again, and gets nothing but abuse and conveniently amended/destroyed contracts, then he's done all that he can. It's time to draw those borders and cement them. And this probably goes without saying, but for the love of red velvet cupcakes, do not get involved in anything financial with them ever again.
I think it's okay if he feels like butt for a while. He's known these people for a long time, and I'm sure some part of him will always want some kind of approval from them. I'm sure he might continue to struggle with it. But hopefully, it will get better with time. He does need your support and compassion though.
I don't know if you have kids or plan to, but if you do, PLEASE at least protect them from these horrible people.
