Have you ever had one parent try to poison you against the other?

Yes. Both of them were terrible. The day I got the phone call he died she bashed him even.

I don't know if this counts, but I remember one particular time when my mom tried to make me feel bad about being too much like my dad. But instead of poisoning me against him, it made me feel bad for him. I started to realize that he was being picked on by her almost as much as I was, though I don't think I'll ever know what she has put him through, and continues to put him through.

My wife had to deal with this during the years before her parents' divorce. After the divorce, she rediscovered her Dad and re-established a relationship with him, after she was no longer seeing him through her Mom's lens, so to speak. In fact, while she had felt closer to her Mom than her Dad, that eventually reversed.

Yes, it was hard to unlearn the lies told

I've had both parents try to poison me against the other. The anger and resentment, the petty remarks, remained until each of their deaths. I loved my parents but I didn't like either one of them. They weren't people I would choose as a friend. Both were toxic in different ways.

My father, but he was evil.

yes rip mother

My mom would poison her youngest kids against her oldest kids and visa versa. And that is partly why I am not close to my siblings. But I forgive her and understand why she did it.

Nope. I only had one parent.
