I realized that my dad was just nice to me while trying to get something from me. But as soon as he noticed that I wasn't going to open up and that his emotional manipulation didn't work, he started calling me the worst things he could think of and became extremely aggressive. I think this was his true self. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else?
Why are my parents, both around 50, so emotionally immature and manipulative, as discussed in the episode "Recovering from Complex PTSD with Elizabeth Ferreira" from the Being Well Podcast, and in the clip "Family Dynamics Unraveled," as well as in episode 379: "How to Deal with a Cheating Dad | Feedback Friday" and the clip "Family Boundaries"? I've been able to meditate, journal, and improve myself, even overcoming my own manipulation habits. Why don't they want to change to treat us better? Is it crazy to think they got together with their problems, didn't fix them, and then had children, putting all their problems and pain on us? Are they really that far gone, thinking their children are responsible for every bad thing happening, or do they genuinely believe it's right to scream at their children?
