Mom is a chronic people pleaser.
That’s why she reacted the way she reacted when I stood up for myself when Dudley’s father crossed my boundaries.
Even today.
She got angry at me.
And started to cry.
Because I pointed out the sadistic malignant narcissistic behaviour of the neighbours.
She’s crying even now.
People pleasing is engrained in her.
Hence she doesn’t realise what’s wrong.
She only cares about other people and keeping them comfortable.
Even if she is hurting and suffering.
Even at the cost of her own daughter.
