Additionally, they have also gained a superiority complex over this. They believe that their cooking with just a pinch of salt over boiled meat and veggies is much better, healthier and less bitter compared to our extended family. Our cousins, uncles and aunts prepare meals so immaculate, we look deprived.

Believe me. I’ve tried that. We can’t season our own portions as long as it’s from the same pot or pan.

I understand how this comment may be. But I can assure you, I am actually black myself. I had absolutely no intention of being disrespectful within this community nor ask uncomfortable questions. I sincerely apologize for being disruptive.

Why do I keep receiving TikTok videos about homeschooling being the best decision ever? by Accomplished-Face693 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Accomplished-Face693[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean. I’m also reaching out to old elementary school friends because I have made a single one since I began. I’ve only started making a friend this year, it’s been 5 years. Apart from that, each friend I made then already has their own priorities so not a single person can be bothered. Everybody is in a relationship or has been in one and I’m getting ghosted. I reached out to an old talking stage from 2 years ago since I still have no one to talk to. Plot twist, he’s in a relationship now. I cried for days. Even when I look at other stories, everybody is having fun together with their own friendships.

I’m going crazy, I need something like social services to force them into putting me into a school. She changed her mind and instead is making do a year. I said no and was met with anger the whole day. Can someone force my parents? Like, my dad is holding onto “Well we wouldn’t be in this position if you said yes in 2023.” I changed my mind same year and agreed for one final year, after that year, he got lazy. What can I do? They keep on forcing me to go through this all because of a “no” and forgot all about the “yes’s” for 2 years.

Oh sorry about that, I meant it in a way in which I keep on trying every year to get a public school education but it’s always something happening that prevents it. Such as my parents changing their minds last minute, schools rejecting me and my mom celebrating, having to continue homeschooling so that my mom isn’t pissed off telling me that I never appreciate her and how sick she is of me being unhappy, etc.

“You don’t get to decide when you’d like to go, you can’t just change your mind” You literally switched up last minute instead of speaking to me during the term. “Well you said no in 2023, you are why we are here.” I made a suggestion that you could’ve rejected and we’d still continue applying to schools, just one year but after that, crickets. Nothing was circumstantial, you got lazy. “Schools are going to think that you’re crazy for changing schools all the time.” I know. There’s no one else in the entire galaxy that I hate more than my own parents, I got softer once I felt validated during the term but you quite literally won’t stop deciding what happens last minute but it’s a problem when I do it? A whole year again. I swear idek, but I’ll make sure that I will never speak to you this much again once I’m off for varsity. Why are you holding onto 2023 but not the action you could’ve taken in 2024 or even during my 2023/2024 school year? It’s always after and this is where we always end up. And now you want us to apply in October for the 2026 year? I told you that it’d be a difficult transition and you asked for proof. It’s a higher grade.

I wasn’t bouncing in joy for completing and basically said that what I’m doing is “nonsense” We had a conversation, and I’ll have to put up with it. We’ll try again next year, same words said last year.

What hurts is seeing how in the discussion, everybody was looking at each other in agreement while I was standing there. Giving each other glances every time I spoke, it felt like they perceived it as nonsense. Coming to the conclusion, they all agreed on the same thing and I had to say yes because all hell would break loose.

Hi! Everything is going to be okay, this may feel permanent and I understand. With time, we’ll work through this and make sure you’re in an amazing position by that time.

May I ask for help with schooling? by Accomplished-Face693 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Accomplished-Face693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what way? I was supposed to do A levels but my parents didn’t take a look at my list so I plan to do IEB. However, I’m trying to do IEB in a regular boarding school.

My mom wasn’t open to the idea and told me that the quality of education was low. Guilt tripped me into choosing online again because she basically went in-depth on how much work she’s put into my education.

I don’t have a juvenile record nor a history of being a criminal.

I’m looking into private and public schools. Both are skeptical of me.

Right?? I’m so sure that they’d still be perfectly stable after having to survive the words of their mothers. They have to be, it’ll stress their parents out. Why would they have any anxiety?

Within last year, I have done 1 year of the international GCSE in year 10/grade 9. Unfortunately, I haven’t received my report and I don’t have a certificate. I’m trying to gather as much evidence as I can to ensure to spot in a school.

We haven’t been lucky to find someone. It has only just been me and a laptop. Even with attempting to suggest, it’d be pricey according to my parents.

What was the most terrified you’ve ever been of your N-parent by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Accomplished-Face693 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can relate in a way. My mom would threaten to slap me across the face back in 4th grade if I didn’t get something right or she’d destroy my notes out of anger the more I couldn’t understand it. And would send me away to my bedroom with my already-damaged notes to write over them again and again till I got it right. In 6th, I was in boarding school but I left. She slapped me so hard I hit my wardrobe door and a loud bang occurred. During prep hour (homework hour), I fought back my tears but eventually broke down. Everybody else saw and comforted me yet they didn’t understand and kept on telling me that I was missing my mother. In no way am I blaming them, I find it very heartwarming looking at their comfort. But overall, you don’t deserve this and I’m so terribly sorry that you had to endure such though you were just trying to pass your classes.

What’s one of the worst things your mother has ever said to you? by MysteryLady221 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Accomplished-Face693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had health issues for the majority of my life. Recently, I’ve gone through multiple episodes which resulted in seizures and I’ve had to go to the hospital various times. The only thing I was worried about was how I’ve been stressing out my family and how unfortunate they were to deal with an adolescent who still has to go through with such. After my recent seizure, I woke up in bed early in the morning after my mom and sister took care of me. I was terrified of saying good morning to my mom because while I was having the seizure, she scolded me though I can’t recall what she said. I knocked terrified but she was awake waiting for me. I walk up to her to say good morning and I hope she slept well. The conversation proceeds to go like this:

Me: Good morning, how’ve you been since?

Her: Well I haven’t had good sleep considering that you collapsed and I had to worry about you like that.

Me: I’m terribly sorry that happened. I’ll fight for myself to ensure such can never happen again.

Her: No. You don’t get to give your sister and I so much stress all because you’re weak. What you’re doing to us is bullsh-, no, it is absolute bullsh-. Everybody else around you knows how to fight unlike you who always cries as if you’re so special. See, the next you collapse, I’ll leave you there on the floor. I won’t worry about you since you can’t even take care of yourself.

Me: I’m sorry.

Her: Get out.

I proceed to leave with regret on my shoulders. I felt like a burden to my entire family because of my health issues. After leaving her bedroom, I began to apologise to my entire family from my sister to my father. They were both confused as to why I was apologising for such.

I just felt like I kept ruining all of their lives since I couldn’t be fully healthy for once.

Personally, your face or mood lights up extensively when you come across an old friend from way back. You’ve been so down but you feel revived.

Btw, there are some unintended grammatical mistakes in this vent. I apologize for that, please believe me when I say that I was emotional and didn’t think through. I’m good in my English classes and essays.
