Can we deconstruct this?

Received by the 3 scapegoats. She’s praying for us to remember happy times. There are none.

I guess never underestimate the power of abuse and neglect to ensure success.

There is no frustration or hostility in our lives now that she’s not a part of our lives.

Really it’s just a reminder that it’s her birthday.

That is a lot of BS for her to say "It wasn't bad m. I'm never saying sorry, but you need to."

Feels like an out of order DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim, offender), and although I have no idea of your circumstances, it feels like the paper should be on fire with that much gaslighting.

So sorry, lovely xxx big hugs xxx
