Shocking. Even with what I know. Totally shocking.
Very similar I think. I was raised in an abusive toxic home and married in a toxic family. Early in my marriage I was scapegoated overtly and lied about by my inlaws. Fortunately my husband is not very close with them and we keep our distance. I try and temper things by having them over for dinner every six months and that's it. My father-in-law was slighted because my husband forgot to wish him a happy birthday and announced that we are off the will. I said, "Oh well". He's a piece of work.
Starting at 32:21…I so relate to this. In my case it was my father's behavior was acceptable and worthy of forgiveness and forgetting. But how dare I react, respond and be angry about it.
When he was terminally ill I actually got the same ultimatum from three (immediate) family members to step up and help care for him or walk away completely.
