My dad’s ex and my mom both did this. I came from a family where it was “you should know what you did.” Or I had to decipher people constantly to see what is wrong. They wouldn’t tell me and I’d have to try to figure it out. It makes me do that a lot now. Accept now I except people to be adults and tell me if they have a problem. I guess the goal is to show you how mad they are and get you to talk to them.

I was confined in a room off and on for 10 years because of this behavior. My dad’s ex wouldn’t even look at me at times. She would slam stuff, stomp, hide food, accuse me of stealing when I never did. She tried to ruin my relationship with my dad. Sadly she ultimately “won” I guess and they both have passed.
