I think my parents are extremely manipulative but make everything they do look saintly
What makes you think your parents are manipulative?
One of my aunts told me that my parents never liked her but they acted nice to her around other people.
It's good to understand manipulative behavior and ensure that you do not repeat those behaviors towards others.
I'm going to blame my parent's influence on me.
If you notice manipulative behaviors in your parents, it's important to use their example to not repeat the same behavior. Breaking the pattern of manipulative behavior will lead you to a more fulfilling life.
