Kaffe, Such a brilliant post and so reflective. Just an example of how much we grow and by pass our ML'ers emotionally. My ex was the same, if something did not fit into his reality, he disposed of it, even if it meant a sibling who did not see him in the way he wanted to be seen. When I no longer wanted to play his game, it was my turn to be discarded. He has made major attempts to discredit me because he knows I will no longer support his reality.
This sounds just like my H. He has "gotten rid" of people who don't support or fit into his agenda, like me. H tells everyone that I am crazy and he is just trying to move on with his life, but no one else supports him, except his brother, who is a piece of work himself.
