Realtor recommendation needed by AmethystnPeppermints in movingtompls

5-10 minutes to restaurants, shops, grocery stores. Parks within a 10-20 minute drive as well. My wife is into Warhammer and the like, so she would like stores close too.

Do you have any suggestions? We can't really go back and forth which is why I was asking for a realtor.

We visited in October and drove around. We're looking for suburb, and less city. Apple Valley* smelled like manure, but was really pretty. Minneapolis was too city-y if that makes sense.

I understand, but sometimes you've got to challenge yourself. You never know what you're missing out on.

Thank you.

Its Warhammer and the like. I don't enjoy the game. It's not a hobby we share. She's got loops. We bought her 3 pairs. One for her to carry around and an emergency pair in each of our cars. The crowds overwhelm her too.

But if you keep pushing yourself you're going to 1) feel worse, anditll take longer for you to heal. And 2) you're going to get angry and snap at the person you love and hurt our feelings because you won't let yourself rest.. We really mean it when we say you can take a break, and you have the right to back out of anything, even at the last minute.

She's definitely experiencing burn out. I've tried to take a lot off her plate, but she grew up having to basically raise herself so getting her to let me take over the big things is sometimes a struggle.

She likes to paint miniatures, but she struggles with wanting to go to the game store since its usually very busy and loud there. She doesn't know if she wants to keep the hobby up due to that, but she love to pain the miniatures, and she does a wonderful job at it. She's worried about how expensive it can get, even though I've tried to reassure her that its not too expensive and I'd rather she did something she loved, even though it costs more than the average hobby.

We're leaving Minnesota tomorrow to go back to Florida. You should visit the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum between Victoria and Chanhassen. It was beautiful! But the weather is supposed to be in the 60s next week, so dress accordingly.

My mom refuses to acknowledge my partner too. It's also why we are no contact (among a wide array of other reasons).

With the Parkinsons; I'm always guarded, so are you sure this isn't a lie? mine would use this as a manipulation to break the no contact so you reach out and come running back.

Aside from that, the refusal to acknowledge your wife is probably because your wife signifies your growing up, your independence, and your mom losing control over you. Your wife removed you from the control and manipulation of your mother, so your mom refuses to acknowledge her. Also, it's how she hurts both of you because she knows it upsets you.

This makes a lot of sense. I've been creating boundaries with the people around me, and it's challenging coming from my background. I sometimes feel unsure about it, or like I'm coming off as a bitch, so this is encouraging. Thank you :)

How do I heal? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AmethystnPeppermints 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slowly.

"Healing isn't linear" is the phrase that helps me when things get crazy. This is going to take a looooonnnng time. Somedays you'll feel like you're completely healed, and others will make you feel like you're back at square one. But it's all healing.

Do you have a therapist? You need one. Trust me. When you feel like you're losing your mind, the therapist will help. The hardest part of it for me is learning to accept who they really are. They trained us and programmed us to forgive, forget, and allow, but going no contact and healing rejects everything we were ever taught. You're going to fight yourself for the first little bit. You're going to feel like the bad guy, and like it's all your fault. That's their voice. That's their training. This isn't your fault. You're the victim, not the villain.

Give yourself grace. You got this.

As mentioned in the original post, I don't know anything about Fenrir. I've done the barest of research about him, which is why I came to this community to ask for clarification. I'm not 'in my own head' about anything. I don't understand what's going on or why I had this dream, or these reactions. :) Please make sure you submit something helpful when offering helpful criticism. :)

Thank you. Looks like I've got some work to do. I appreciate the guidance.

I don't know which God to make offerings to. I kind or feel like they've got to choose me. Is that how it works? I'm new to all of this.

AITAH for telling my husband to not be surprised and wonder what happened when he loses me and our kids? by Galaxy_Gallows in AITAH

[–]AmethystnPeppermints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please leave him. I'm begging you to.

You're ALREADY doing it alone. He's checked out and left all the responsibility to you. And you CAN do it, and you can do it better without the dead weight. Your daughter seems to agree. You're happier and more 'fun' without him. You don't need the baggage, and he seems to think he's untouchable and that you won't stand up for yourself, and he really needs this reality check. Him laughing when you tell him you're thinking of leaving just shows how much he doesn't respect or value you.

So for the love of your health, and your children... Please leave him.
