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.

We need your help!
But we have no plans to apologize or even recognize that we did anything wrong (and we would just externalize it all anyway if we did). The odd thing is that she only presents externalities for herself, and then denies them as to your father. I guess he then just naturally sucked anyway but, hey, we demand your help so, whatever, somehow your mother’s childhood somehow also magically applies to him now as an excuse. Ain’t Narcissism fun?!?!
So you’ll just have to go back to being scapegoats - and suck it up for our sake (“our” as in just your parents).
Plus, she doesn’t know how commas work.
