Anybody has parents that sabotaged their lives?

What is your story? Did you get out of their control?

And, can someone explain why parents sabotage their own kids? It doesn’t make sense to sabotage your own kids because by elevating them and helping their futures, everyone would be happy together. Making the lives of your kids miserable and turning them to failures doesn’t benefit anyone. So why?

Does abuse count? cause my dad gave my entire family trauma, abused me, my sister and my mom and then abandoned me and picked my sister as his only child so far lmao.

@DerSilberneKonig1 yeah, narcissistic abuse. My dad traumatized my whole family too. Being the man of the house, me, some of my siblings( he has a golden child), and even my narcissistic mom were traumatized by him. Everything revolved around him. I grew up with anxiety thanks to him. Thanks for sharing and I hope you got away from that.
