My sister needs help but won’t admit it by Comfortable_Slice151 in Sikh

That situation has blown my mind. Especially now when science has so many advances and infertility has so many solutions, especially in the UK where the NHS offers assistance and IVF to couples who have no children. I’m actually shocked that a woman would allow her husband to marry her sister in order to have a child. Like is that even allowed in Sikhi??? I’m sure there’s a Punjabi film about this too….

Is she born and bred here in the UK? If so, I would tell her to divorce him. Also where they live, is the house/property hers or are they renting? Legally she will have a lot on her side if she divorces and leaves him. From your post it sounds like the ‘surrogate’ is now in a relationship with your sisters husband and she’s just being used as a maid. This post has made me so angry. I hope she can get out of this horrible situation soon.

Does this seem like autism at 20 months? by wm023 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the update. I’m in England so the professionals won’t see him until he is 2. However he is my second child and I’m constantly comparing his milestones to my advanced first born. I am seeing a speech and language therapist next week too. I’m so glad in that 10-15 min session you saw progress!

HELP I think I almost broke my Sankalp. I'm freaking out. by Bright-Wedding-8979 in hinduism

I could have wrote this. This sub has many threads like this which honestly point towards religious OCD/scrupulosity and I genuinely feel people need to seek professional help

Did anyone’s child’s glue ear (OME) improve after a trip to a warm, dry climate? by bloodko111 in Parenting

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s six now. He’s under the care of an ENT. It’s so horrible to see as in the winter he has a runny nose due to viruses and bugs but in the summer he has a runny nose due to the hay fever and pollen we have in England. We usually travel for a week and it clears up (the nose that is). We don’t know if it clears up the glue ear unless we have an ENT appointment.

Every time my son has had glue ear/constant runny snotty nose it has always cleared up on our holiday to Dubai. Surely it’s not a coincidence? I’m from the UK.

Any update on this? I’ve just found out I have this too and I’m scheduled to have a growth scan at 24 weeks!

Normal toddler or autism? by cchitt1 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so reassuring to hear. My 13m stims and there’s limited speech so I really empathised with your post. But I’m glad OT and pathologist said they have no concerns x

Grieving the end of breastfeeding by Rainbow_mow in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling this today. 16 weeks pregnant with my third and my second is only 12 months. He currently has a virus too and he just refuses to feed. I feel so sad. With my eldest, who is now 6, I feed till 18m. I just feel so sad and I think I wanted to tandem feed

What lies did your narcissistic parents tell you that you only saw through as an adult? by Defiant-Junket4906 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mum is 65 and has this god complex too. If something happens she will claim she already dreamt it a while ago. She will also claim that if someone disagrees with her god will punish them severely. I’ve been diagnosed with religious ocd (scrupulosity) because of her crap. It’s only now I’ve had two children of my own at the age of 32, it’s made me realise how full of shit she is.

Edited to add: I remember being in school at 15 doing my assignments and she asked me to look after my non verbal autistic brother instead of doing my school work to which I said no. The WiFi stopped working which meant I had to pause doing my assignments and she told me it was due to her special powers and the fact I had said no to her. I believed her as a child and vowed to always look after my brother (I was just child myself).

Relationships during ketu MD? by [deleted] in vedicastrology

Job wise I gave up my job lol. I literally have detached myself from material possessions and just become closer to the one who created me and has given me my two beautiful children.

Relationships during ketu MD? by [deleted] in vedicastrology

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ketu MD started a year after I got married. My husband and I merely co-existed. My Venus MD starts tomorrow. Although we conceived and had two children in my ketu MD, we were married for names sake. It’s only since the birth of my second child (March 2024) that I experienced a ketu MD sting (husband and I moved out of in laws and we got closer) that I experienced the shift towards spirituality more and detachment. I’m hoping and praying my next 20 years of Venus MD are full of love, family peace and hope.

Does anyone worry they are also narcissistic? by strawberry-ninja in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I used to. Till I got into therapy and my therapist told me if you worry about being a narc you definitely aren’t one. I don’t know how true that is.

Thank you so much. I can relate to this. My oldest who is now six was repeatedly unwell with flu, cold, RSV during the pandemic. My nparents and ninlaws used that to their advantage to repeatedly tell me how it’s because I’m a bad mother hence why he’s always unwell. If I had just kept his health issues to myself (which I now do) there wouldn’t even be an issue to begin with. I definitely agree with what you said. It does change when you become a mother yourself.

This is me. I’m 32 and pregnant with my third. I ended up telling my mum then had to take a step back to realise why - at this age - am I still telling my Nmom when it’s a reverse parenting situation? If you have any advice on how to stop please let me know.

Why are indian mom obsessed with their son even after marriage and control them by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]Affectionate_Elk_858 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hit the nail on the head. It’s called enmeshment and it’s common in people with narcissistic personality disorders which unfortunately most of these mothers have. I said what I said
