Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 This portion below resonated with me soooo strongly. Even the members of my FOO who aren't mentally ill are toxic because they are enablers and expect me to be the same way. > > While I feel sad that she gets taken advantage of so willingly, what is getting under my skin is the way she thinks that the rest of us siblings are OBLIGATED to do the same. She says we need to be the adults, be the ones to say sorry when we havent done anything wrong, be the one to grovel and try to make everything ok when things go wrong and these sponges of people get upset. These people arent capable of being on their own, and as family we should be doing all we can to help. I used to agree with her, but there comes a point when the hand you put out to help gets bitten too many times, and you refuse to offer it anymore.
