Mom, " What do you want me to do?" Victim, "Make him stop." If Mom "bites" then the triangle shifts: Mom (becomes persecutor) "Jon (now the victim), why did you hit your brother? You're grounded for a week." Father (Rescuer), "Honey weren't you a little hard on Jon?" etc. etc. I had never looked at how triangles perpetuate and morph this way before, interesting take.
