I don’t want to say much about the circumstances because I could go on all day but a family member who has plenty of great traits is also very demanding, controlling and has very high expectations from others. She is terrible with boundaries her own and other peoples and a few days with her you feel like you have gone rounds with Mike Tyson both emotionally and physically from her demands. There is s backstory where she was badly mistreated in her family of origin growing up and she is trying to deal with all of that, hence the emotional stuff but we are all finding it so difficult to navigate and I have my own family of origin stuff too.
Any experience or thoughts or advice gratefully received.
