Sometimes I wonder about the relationship I have with my family. It seems so toxic most of the time. I really try and make an effort to to love them and temper thoughts, words and actions accordingly. This works very well in my relationships with everyone else I come in contact with however…..
My family seems to operate on a different set of rules. One that starts with animus and degrades from there to the point of open hostility and accusation. Then express absolute incredulity when asked why they act in that manner.
I suppose it is the model of passive aggressive behavior? Not quite sure, I do know it iw wrong on so many levels and when others I know see it, they are shocked that we act like this. Sick. I must refer to the top of page 67 of the Big Book.
