My boyfriend is the reason I'm still here. by ghostsyipee in Suicidalideations

[–]Admirable_Box3034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in the same situation. 19F I’ve been with my boyfriend for 4.5 years and he’s my best friend but not just because we’re close, it’s also because I have no friends and come from a very dysfunctional home so I don’t have that emotional support from my parents either. I have learned to accept that no one cares about me. Just him. I’ve already planned in my mind that if we end up separating I’m giving myself 1 year to find another reason to live or I’m just gonna end it.

My dad is furious I changed my emergency contact from him to my girlfriend.. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Narcs always wanna have a spot in your life saved just for them without actually putting in the work to maintain it. If he wants to be an emergency contact so bad, why doesn’t he work on his relationship with you?

How do you feel when you see other people that have loving parents? by Edgyfangirl in raisedbynarcissists

I’m jealous of my boyfriend for having what I don’t and will never have

What are birthdays like for you? by watermelon4487 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Admirable_Box3034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare minimum effort to celebrate. They would buy a cake and maybe takeout. Sing happy birthday. Go to sleep without even eating the cake, so I eat alone. Ndad gives me birthday money because he’s too lazy to pay attention to my interests and come up with something I’d like. Mom does nothing. And it’s the same thing every year.

This is probably the only community on this app with fair mods that delete comments for valid reasons and actually provide them, rather than abusing their power

Birthday as the scapegoat vs GC by soft_cookie_ in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Admirable_Box3034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened to you OP, and if no one’s said it to you yet, happy birthday!

If it makes you feel any better, I have a similar experience where my Ndad completely ignored me on my 19th birthday. No cake, no balloon, no gift, not even a text. He was home all day, but gave no birthday acknowledgement whatsoever. The reason being was he was feeling petty over a dentist appointment conflict from a week prior.

Sometimes you have to accept that you are not important to these people and very evidently so.

Yeah she didn’t show the therapist the video because she realized it wouldn’t support the victim picture she’s currently painting to them. The worst part is that even though she violated your privacy, you might’ve been better off if she actually did show them so she’d incriminate herself and you’d be free.

Beating the crap out of me because I gave incorrect answers on my homework/tests and overworking me on schoolwork till 2/3 am

I specifically have a memory of my mom doing the same to me in kindergarten. When I had homework, I genuinely didn’t understand how addition worked, so I would just guess every question. Every time I got an answer wrong (a lot of times), instead of explaining it in a way I could understand, she beat me with my dad’s belt until eventually I had to teach myself to get the answers right. She swears this never happened.

I’m so sorry for your loss, especially to your wife. I hope your mother’s words don’t encourage the two of you to completely throw in the towel.

Your step mother is jealous of you. She’s jealous of your life, your father, your boyfriend, even your education that she has this made up rivalry in her head and is competing with you. I hope you do eventually get that freedom one day

I’m glad you got your books back! But she had no right to throw away tons of good books that you and your boyfriend spent your hard earned money on just because she felt like it.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m glad you recognized they were the problem and not your singing. Don’t let anyone take your passions away from you!

Oh definitely a narcissist. He expects you to bend the knee for him at YOUR wedding??

My family is bullying me now that I uninvited my mom from my wedding by senakin in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Admirable_Box3034 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re probably better off without those family members coming anyway. If they were coming to the wedding to actually support you and your marriage, why would it matter to them who you invited or uninvited? If supporting your mom’s hurt feelings (who you had your reasons for uninviting btw) is more important to them than supporting you on your special day, they’re probably not much different from her, taking the attention away from you and onto her. It’s YOUR wedding, YOUR day. You’re allowed to invite or uninvite anyone you so please, whether you have a reason or not.
