First paragraph? Absolutely. I would love that level of engagement and personal interest from family.

Second response and the punchline? Well, that's what we're here for. Of course it's awful.

I have a hard time imagining both those lines coming from the same person. Maybe, I guess? But I agree, 1 is loving and supportive; 2 is mean & hurtful.

What a terrible family op (greentext op) must have.

It's great that you've never had a passive aggressive family member to deal with.

All I can say is that, yes, this absolutely happens to people. Sometimes abuse is loud, bold, and psychologically twisted like this. Other times, it's well-placed silence.

PSA: If you have anyone you care about with bad family like this, and know you can provide a better environment for just a few hours, have them over for a family meal. You'll make a friend for life.
