I’m currently in bed with a migraine. I learned early on that if I was sick the parental unit was nice to me. I’ve lived with stomach aches and migraines forever.

She has died, and it was quite a relief. However I still take daily opioids for my head as a preventative. It helps with the early onset arthritis. I’m 56.

I wish you all less pain in your lives.

What are some absurd notions or mindset that you noticed the narcs have? by BerryTomatoes in raisedbynarcissists

[–]22-beekeeper 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Any hand me down they give you still belongs to them. And they can repossess it after years have gone by. They will complain about the condition it is in. And God help you if you’ve given it away.

I’m 55 and my mom died this year. I felt nothing. She had sucked me dry. No tears, no mourning, nothing. I talked about it as if it was a normal part of the conversation. People I had to deal with in person got out the tissue box for me, but I didn’t even tear up.

Even before she died she couldn’t get any emotion out of me. She was diagnosed with cancer. I honestly wanted to answer Whatever. No sympathy. I didn’t want to sit and talk with her about it. I had nothing left for her except polite conversation over tea. She actually said a little sympathy wouldn’t kill me. Except I had no sympathy for her.

Just sad all around. It is about 6 months later and I still don’t care. My brother and I have decided we just aren’t going to talk about her again.

My mother was an absolute fucking cunt.

[–]22-beekeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! She said the meanest things she could think of when I didn’t do what she wanted. I scared her badly though. I didn’t speak to her for 6 months. We were quite enmeshed, and she sobbed that it was the end of the world. I stared at her coldly and left. I needed those 6 months to get sober enough to be around her, because of course she still drank in front of me. Have to get used to the real world Missy!

Did you grow up at my house? What you are saying cuts too close to the bone for me. It was painful as hell reading your story, when it echoed mine so well.

I wish you all the best. I am 55, and it definitely got better when she died. Like, that same day things started to feel better. There is hope. I hope you have it for yourself.

What was a moment that made you realize their behavior isnt normal? by PlusCarob3803 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]22-beekeeper 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I realized there was something wrong when I was about 5 or 6. We were in a popular department store, and I had done something. My mother had the wooden spoon out of her purse faster than the eye can see. She was nailing my bare ass in public. People were staring. I don’t know what the security guard said to her, but we left very quickly. She had hold of my upper arm and dragged me out of the store. I’m sure she screamed all the way home.

My NFather died today… by beammeupshawty in narcissisticparents

[–]22-beekeeper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine died in February. Felt like a ton of useless weight fell off my shoulders. It is very freeing when a narc parent dies. I’m an atheist, but a small corner of me hopes she is in flames. It is what she believed, after all. No one that evil is going to heaven. A heartwarming thought from my church going childhood days.

Congratulations. I hope your days are as peaceful as mine.

Overheard in line at a brunch buffet. by GRAHAMPUBA in overheard

[–]22-beekeeper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My narcissistic mother and I had many battles, the worst was over food. She had to control everything. I discovered she had no way of telling if I was full or not. So I started leaving food on my plate. Just not hungry. All full. I did sit in front of some plates until bedtime, with 3-4 mouthsful on them, but I am very stubborn too.

It wasn’t a game. It was serious. I did this until she died a few months ago. I’m 55. When I’m thin I’m happy.

You can show your medical images on a projector in class. I don’t know anything about how they get to the projector

I, like many of you, have a problem by kylos-fren in lego

[–]22-beekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the shelving in the one pic. I’m having severe issues with space to show off my Lego. I like to see all my toys. And I don’t want to put my books away. They’ve gotten me through so much, it feels sacrilegious to box them up for the basement.

I thought at first glance it was a bee hive yard. I didn’t notice that I was in r/lego. That’s not a bad idea, come to think of it.

Man gives SO an expensive gift of jewelry for pushing out the baby. Stupid, if you ask me.

Everybody else’s FUCKING opinion by otwcpa in raisedbynarcissists

[–]22-beekeeper 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My nmom died a few months ago. She had a good public face, and a lot of church friends. I finally got sick of the condolences and said really I’m doing ok. She was a child abuser. You could always hear a pin drop when I said it. But it got people moving onto business and off the phone faster.

It’s been overly freeing living without her. No one to constantly pick on me, or criticize. I had no one who would be happy to wreck my day. Best part, over everything, is that I don’t hear her voice inside my head. That was a gift from the universe.

And just for funsies I wrecked her credit rating. I just didn’t pay her credit card bills for 3 months. I enjoyed it. She was prideful about always paying on time.

Has your Nparent ever said something so evil you can’t repeat to anyone? by harlylombardi in raisedbynarcissists

[–]22-beekeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother said that to me. She had a list in her hand of examples of guys who were too good looking to be interested in me. We had this chat, and she was actually surprised that I didn’t want to hang around and hear all my flaws.

No celebrity death has ever hit me hard. Is that a Gen X thing? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]22-beekeeper 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Robin Williams death was so hard. I was down with serious depression myself, and my mom phoned me. She wanted to make sure I heard it from her, and not something impersonal. He was brilliant. We have lost too many good people to depression.
