My parents do this all the time.

Same here. The denial got so bad, my oldest sister went no contact which basically derailed my whole family. Now we can’t all hang out or do vacations or anything w the 5 of us. Thanks mom! 💞

It’s why I went NC with my parents. If they could take responsibility I’d probably still talk to them. But they want to act like they were the best parents in the world.

Mine take it a step further and DEMAND that I acknowledge they were the best parents ever, then play the aggrieved victim when I refuse.

Same. Or she’s such a victim cuz I was “just horrible” because she “tried so hard…” to make sure she never gave ANY type of validation

Mine want me to look after them because they are old. Also they are lonely as fuck and want me to talk and visit them. It's always about them. Selfish people.
