-
You're
the one responsible for what happens to me.
-
I'll never succeed
at anything. Why try?
-
I'm a failure
because of my Mom and Dad. It's their fault I'll never get it.
-
You cause my pain
and suffering.
-
I blame you for my
suffering.
-
I'll never "get it".
-
I have a right to be
afraid. Who do you think you are to tell me to be brave!
-
I deserve your
sympathy. Look what "they" have done to me.
-
I'm no good.
-
You're damn right I
feel sorry for myself. You would, too, if you knew what I've been through.
-
I can't.
-
It's not fair.
-
I need help - I
can't do it myself.
-
I'm not enough.
-
Why shouldn't I
complain! Would you like to be in my shoes?
-
Every time I speak
up for myself, you put me down. My thoughts/feelings don't mean anything to
you.
-
Nobody ever gave me
a chance.
-
Mom and Dad loved my sister/brother
more. That's why I'm the way I am. It's not my fault!
-
See? I told you I couldn't
do it.
-
Oh, pooor me.
-
I always have to do
it!
-
I don't have to change. You're
the one with the problem!
-
You're going to give
me a heart attack.
-
Just as long as
you're happy, it doesn't matter what happens to me.
-
You said you'd love
me forever.
-
I never have enough
time for myself. There is always something I have to do for you. (A long,
suffering sigh)
-
I have no choice; I
have to take care of my parents now that they are old.
-
You always make me
worry about you. Why don't you just behave?
-
I
make all the sacrifices in this family.
-
Where did I go
wrong?
-
If I help you, you
won't be able to hate me.
-
Look at me, I'm
better than you.
-
It feels sooo good
to rescue.
-
When I jump in and
protect or save you, you'll depend upon me.
-
Look how important I
am - I've rescued you.
-
I'm powerful when I
can figure out how to save a bad situation.
-
When I'm busy with
your problems, I don't have time to worry about mine.
-
I love the adoration
you give me when I help you.
-
I'm better than you
when I can rescue you from your problems.
-
I'm superior and
holier than you because I can "fix" your problems.
-
I make a difference
because I know how to solve problems.
-
I put everything
else on hold while I solve your problems.
-
My parents are old,
and I'm dedicating my life to them.
-
I'm such a good guy.
Look how I got you out of that scrape.
-
All this attention
really feels great.
-
Let me do it. I know how to
do it right.
-
I was born to help
others. It's no big thing.
-
I know I make a
difference.
-
You can't get
through this without me.
-
I will always come
when you call.
-
Aren't you
impressed?
-
Now will you approve
of me?
-
I told you once, but
you just wouldn't listen to me. See, I was right all along.
-
You owe me your love
because I saved you. Where would you be without me?
-
I'm really good at
helping others. It's just a knack I have.
-
I have all the
answers.
-
I'll make you sorry you ever did
that. Then you'll think twice before you ever do that again.
-
I always have to
watch you to make sure you do it right.
-
Do as I say, not as
I do.
-
I wash my hands of
you. You'll never get it.
-
You are so stubborn.
Why did God saddle me with you!
-
You deserve this
whipping! You must be shown right from wrong.
-
Things were different in my day.
Children respected their mother/father.
-
Don't lie. I know
you're lying. You never tell the truth.
-
Stand up. You act
like you have something to hide.
-
You asked for it.
Now you are going to get it.
-
You're such a fool.
Don't you get it? This is part of your karmic debt.
-
Be like your sister.
She knows what she wants and goes out and gets it.
-
Quit your crying or
I'll give you something to cry about!
-
Look at me when I
speak to you. Speak up. Stand up straight.
-
How do you expect me
to take you anyplace?
-
You're so sloppy -
You're so dumb/stupid - You're just like your father/mother/sister/brother.
-
Don't you dare walk
away from me.
-
Why do you make me
hit you?
-
You'll just never
know how much I've given up for you so you could be happy.
-
I didn't want you in
the first place!
-
What's wrong with
you?
-
You're not enough.
-
You should…
-
I'm so disappointed
in you.
-
I thought you were
better than that.
-
What have I taught
you? You know better than that!
-
Why do you look like that? Do you
want to embarrass me?
-
You'll make your
mother sick/cry.
-
I don't care what
you want - you do what I say!
-
What makes you think you
know anything?
-
It serves you right.
You didn't listen to me.
-
You're the one with the problem.
How dare you expect me to change!
-
If I've told you
once, I've told you a thousand times!
-
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk…
