Your article fully resonates with my situation, my mother is also like your father, she"ll never admit defeat and in the final when she realise that she's loosing, she would start blaming me that "this is why I raised you for 20 years" that you are saying me these things, she would tell me whatever she wants 😂, but if I give a counter point, she would start emotional blackmailing me 🤣.
