My story is too long to mention every single event, too many chapters. Born to emotionally and abusive strict authoritarian parents, i was the youngest child. My father, who inflicted the physical abuse, and an enabling mother who i think deep down enjoyed the drama. My siblings always triangulated with the parents, i was made the scapegoat for my own parents deep issues. To my mother, it was all about putting her selfish husband,s happiness first, at the expense of mine. I spent my life walking on egg shells around him, and when he was drinking his alcohol, it was a absolute nightmare. But still today , they all remain defensive, and the sibling triangulation still there. I,m interested in others on this forum, who have experienced this type of upbringing especially in 1960s 70s and how you have coped, and suggestions to share with me would be appreciated thanks.

Oh yes, certainly. Triangulation in its extreme, in fact if the triangulation always includes a parent then the parent is the master and the culprit, not necessarily the sibling.
