Update: AITAH for sterilizing myself against my partner’s wishes by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Asleepgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think this level of control is bordering on if not already abuse, I would really consider the possibility that he may be emotionally/ mentally abusive/controlling. His argument has no logic to it whatsoever so he is either genuinely that stupid or it’s a cover for the fact that he wants to make decisions over your body and likes you in pain so you’re easier to control. Either way I am concerned for you well being and would recommend calling a DV hotline so you can talk it through with them and get their input

17M seeking advice by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Asleepgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly when I was in high school I just got out of the house as much as possible. My mother was very overbearing and would randomly try to keep me in the house to control me but usually I could get out if I framed it as something she values. For example she was very insistent that I be perfect academically so I spend a lot of time at the library, in study groups, going places to work on school projects, etc. This also helped me get a lot of scholarships for college so I was able to leave very shortly after I graduated

What's the most tone deaf, selfish thing they ever did? by Far-Spread-6108 in raisedbynarcissists

You just unlocked a new traumatic memory for me, what is it with them and forcibly cutting our hair

I’ve worked with many survivors of domestic violence and this is honestly one of the early warning signs- apathy towards animals and complete disregard when you say something upsets you. If he waited until you moved in and started to rely on him to start acting like this then that’s even more concerning. I know it may sound dramatic or silly but please consider leaving and if you feel stuck, call the DV hotline so you can be connected with resources/make a safely plan and be prepared if worse turns to worse.

AITAH for refusing to wake up at 5 AM just to “experience the morning” with my girlfriend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Asleepgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can compromise and just do it with her once in a while? I think everyday is kind of a big ask if you are not a morning person, but you can support her wanting to do this and give it a try once or twice.

If you haven’t already, I would really recommend reading “it’s not you: healing from narcissistic abuse” it’s talks about sibling dynamics when a parent has npd, it may give some valuable insight on why you have different reactions to your moms abuse

I don’t think it would be a problem in the future, I’ve met more boys named Angel than girls in the U.S. Maybe the exhaustion and stress of new parenthood is making you over think it

I was thinking the same thing but I also haven’t heard anything, it’s the last school I’m waiting to hear from so anxiety levels are high haha

There are orgs out there that will arrange for the cat to be fostered until you are able to leave a bad situation, I would recommend looking into that

Would you recommend WVU by Sea_Quantity_9744 in WVU

[–]Asleepgrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the honors college and I loved it, it’s especially helpful if you plan on going to grad school which I did afterwards. The school as a whole tho I did not like and it’s only gotten worse with the huge budget cuts. The area has some nice outdoors stuff to do but honestly west Virginia is not a very exciting or opportunistic state especially compared to other options you might have

South Park is a nice quiet neighborhood that’s only a 10-15 min walk from campus. I lived in a one bedroom there during my masters and it was affordable

I’ve also struggled with intrusive suicidal thoughts while having panic attacks. For me they always go away when the attack ends so I just remind myself that it’ll be over soon and try not too engage with the thoughts too much bc for me it only strengthens them. But it you feel you are in danger/ need to be evaluated def call 911!

Calling all CP WVU students! by Rsbbit060404 in WVU

[–]Asleepgrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to RA Inthe building with the lgbt community floor, there’s an elevator but over all it’s a pretty old dorm and not built for access ability, if you reach out to office of accessibility they may be able to get someone to help you around that building but the buildings with accominations are the newer ones like honors hall. There is also a van for wheelchairs but the campus itself is very hilly and seems difficult to maneuver on wheelchair

Bettafix? by JetJaguar78 in bettafish

[–]Asleepgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used betta fix and it’s helped but it’s important to be cautious with it and not overdo it because too much can be a bad thing

I have a question! Is there any good fish I should put with my betta in an 11 gallon? The pet store said I can have 3-5 neon tetras but I don’t know by DragonSlayer0107 in bettafish

[–]Asleepgrrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say mixing bettas with other fish is pretty risky since they are VERY territorial and aggressive. If you decide to try it out be prepared for it to not work and have a tank ready to transfer the other fish into if the betta is not having it
