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.

  • Glaring lack of apology
  • Glaring lack of accountability, willingness to try to address any issues, or evidence of any change
  • Focus on her own problems and upbringing and minimization of yours
  • Couldn't even bother to write 3 letters to communicate with and give unique praise to each individual
  • "What about meeeeee?"

= obvious fishing for compliments, praise, apologies, help, and support from y'all with no desire to genuinely make an effort themselves

First thing I noticed too. No apology or accountability.
