Anyone else never (or rarely) had their parents apologize to them?
My mom rarely apologizes (I can count on one hand how many times she apologized and have fingers left over). She reprimands me if I apologize, saying I don't mean it if I do (I think she says this because when she apologizes, she doesn't mean it; the last time she "apologized" was after verbally abusing me December 30, 2024; however, her tone indicated that she didn't mean it).
The most disturbing part is I didn't even learn the word "sorry" from her. I learned it from Barney & Friends, which I never liked very much (I'm 35).
I would go No Contact if I could. However, since I can't (due to personal reasons), I'm "grey rocking" her.
