Dear Kay:
I read your reply in another thread as well as your post here, on your own thread. I understand that you visit your parents’ home often, taking care of your sick father who is taking care of his healthy wife, your mother, who is a vile woman and has been a vile mother to you and to all your siblings, all damaged by her behavior.
You wrote that your father enables and has enabled your mother throughout the years she damaged her children.
But when you spend time with the two of them, taking care of him while he takes care of her, you are enabling him. If you didn’t take care of him, maybe his healthy wife will take care of him.
It is unhealthy for you and for your supportive sister to spend any time with any of your parents. Spending any time with them, delays and stands in the way of your individual healing.
Regarding the man you shared about, you referred to him as your best friend: how long has he been your friend before, if I understand correctly, the friendship turned sexual most recently?
