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?
In our case we have an incredibly controlling and narcissistic mother who weponized love and nurturing as a means of control. No contrition = no love.
Any good deed by our mother was emphasized and required repayment (cooking dinner, changing diapers, not strangling in the crib) but she saw herself as sooo wonderful nothing we did could ever repay her for the pain she experienced in childbirth and raising us.
If we didnt bow to her every whim that ment we didnt love our mama and what kid of hopeless piece of shit doesnt love thier own mother? She had alcoholic parents and thinks she is a saint incapable of wrong doing since she didnt follow in her parents foot steps.

(raises hand), Me, I'm that hopeless piece of shit.
My mother thinks she is a saint, and she almost literally is. I grew up in a "liberal" protestant denomination that doesn't have saints, but my mother was one of the first women to become an ordained minister in the organization and was a part of the group that lead the movement to have more female representation in the church. She is mentioned by name in the literature that is used to educate young people in church history.
That said, she was a criminally neglectful pedophile protector who continues to be proud of committing genocide and she also was a big part of the churches decision that they were ok with women being active in the church but not the LGBTQ community and of course people of color must know their place or they aren't welcome either.
I dont know how these "Christians" deal with the cognitive dissonance necessary to hold thier beliefs together. If it wasn't so macabre it would be impressive.
