Good or Bad Isn’t an Explanation

Love Used as Control and Praise Is the Leverage.
In some toxic family dynamics, control is built through praise, attention, and emotional reward. One family member positions themselves as the source of approval. They constantly lift certain people up, praise them publicly, single them out, and make them feel chosen, special, or important. On the surface, it looks supportive. It looks loving. It looks like pride.
