One of my TBM sisters decided months ago to unfriend all of our family members from social media and isn't calling or texting anyone (except for me...we get along and understand each other pretty well). There's been a lot of family drama and it has been causing her too much stress. For her own sanity and health she needed a break. My TBM parents can't stand it. They can't see past their own feelings about their daughter not talking to them. They can't possibly fathom that she has pulled back because she is so deeply wounded by their actions and continual drama that it is causing her mental and physical distress.
Selfish. They are selfish. Now my sis tells me that TBM dad has sent her another guilty text asking if he was ever going to see her on this side of the veil. Typical. Always using religion as a control/guilt tactic. Without going into all the drama (because I could write novels upon novels about it all), our parents are both highly manipulative narcissists. My sister has chosen to distance herself from the abuse. They, of course, think they are saints and that my sister is just being difficult and a bad family member. Their guilt tactics and manipulation attempts and bad mouthing her to everyone else is just pushing her further away. Why would someone who has decided to protect themselves want to go back to that? It also blows my mind that Mormons think they somehow get possession over their family members in heaven. She doesn't want to be around them now...what makes them think she would want to in the afterlife (assuming there is one)?!
