My parents are having this problem, where my dad commits the mistake and my mom is trying to correct him yet, he strikes back by telling my mom's past mistake that they have dealt with, which makes my mom hurts ineptly, and he uses it every time they

The silver lining: research on personal growth after trauma ...

Research on stressful life events like receiving a terminal diagnosis or the impact of losing a job has focused primarily on the negative psychological effects of such events.  However, clinicians and researchers began to realize that many of their patients were reporting positive changes after experiencing adversity. Interviews with cancer patients and other samples found, as a surprise to many mental health professionals, that many people saw a “silver lining on the dark cloud”  to their life difficulties.

On the other hand, if product Y costs $25 and product Z $20, all of a sudden product X seems expensive. You’ll see this strategy in action at upscale steakhouses and restaurants, for instance. Savvy marketers price their "top cut" of meat at an inflated price--which makes everything else on the menu seem like a arrangement.
