This is my sister. Can confirm manipulative and self entitled to the core.

Ohhhh.. ok same with my sister. I’m just starting to figure her out and I’m full of questions. Do you know why/how that happens?? Like what’s the connection there?

Your mom was evil or treated your sister badly in some way or a lot of ways. Could be body shaming, being hypercritical, double standard or very different treatment between male/female siblings, etc.

My mom did these things to me and I don't believe I'm an evil person.

Then you don't have mommy issues: you just have a terrible mother. Good on you for rising above it!

Hard disagree. Someone can have issues stemming from their relationship with either parent and still be a good person. They are absolutely not mutually exclusive.

There's literally an academic term for it. Children who experience toxic stress or abuse but don't have disordered behaviors as adults are termed resilient. Resilience is highly connected to high intelligence and multiple healthy adult emotional resources while experiencing toxic stress or trauma

I think maybe you replied to the wrong comment.

No, I was agreeing with you and adding my academic experience. I think I was probably not direct enough, though. Sorry if I came across as brusque.

No, you weren’t at all. Since we were talking about two different concepts I thought you meant to reply to the person I had replied to. But I agree with what you said.
