Thank you for your story, you have given me the “courage” -you might say- to give my parents’ recent outreach an opportunity to manifest as something different.
Similiar situation in that my older brother could always do not wrong and I could do no right in their words and actions. (An effective method to train a kid/adult from ever “doing” anything at all.)
Perhaps I have finally changed enough for the Universe to offer me a different relationship with my biological family.
Excellent writing as always. One thing I know is this: for some reason (and I don’t look at my chart enough to know why) both my parents are suddenly realizing that they have neglected me for too long and seem to want to make up for that. It started in December with my mother admitting (out loud to me no less) that she helped both my brothers in their twenties far more than she ever helped me. My father is now filled with regrets because he allowed his wife to keep him from me and my kids (his only grandkids). Now he wants to live closer and spend time with us but two of the kids are grown already. In 2006 it looked like he would be living with us but after a lot of craziness, he ended up not living with us. He has seen the kids only a handful of times .
My husband’s parents have changed as well; they gave him their old car last fall. We about fell off our seats because they never give him anything; his younger sister is their favorite. I think it all harks back to 2008 when both DH (dear husband) and I lost siblings; his middle sister and my older brother. By last year, our parents were changing and now I am getting attention (the right kind, not the demanding kind) from my parents and DH is getting more attention from his. Neither of us know why this trend is happening but it is.
Carrie,
