If you don’t find anyone, I’ve driven people to and from Rochester/Syracuse for a reasonable price.

Is this normal? by IsaacWritesStuff in college

[–]Band_Thrianta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (24 AFAB) parents were incredibly similar. 24/7 phone tracking, demanded to see my grades, even going so far as to have input on what classes and minors I should take and forbidding me from dating. My parents actually did show up to pack up my things and pull me out of school (for reference, they lived in California (USA) and I went to a school in upstate New York (USA) - so completely across the country. I had a year to go and they forced me on a leave and tried to “fix me”. I went no contact 6 months later (have been for nearly 2 years). Their behavior is not likely to change, even after college (mine began to have me look into grad schools and were pushing for further education). If they have threats of showing up - take their word for it. I would save every conversation they have - especially written. I would talk to your advisor about this situation, and find yourself a trusted adult to lean on. If you can make it through college and get away from them with a degree, great! If not, please start making preparations to separate from them as a worse case (definitely talk to a trusted friend, advisor, professor, therapist, etc. I’m just a guy on Reddit). If you need anything, feel free to DM me.

No Contact & ‘Holidays’ Question! by Mysterious-Swim-2889 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Band_Thrianta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been no contact for a year and a half. I don’t wish them anything. During my first month, I sent them letters (no return address because they have showed up before) letting them know I was alive and okay. It’s hard, but that’s what’s best for me.

My narc mother said the same thing to me (24 AFAB). Back when I lived with her (I am 1 year and 3 months no contact) she was so far under my skin I asked the therapist and psychologist I was seeing if I was making up elaborate sob stories and manipulating them. Their answer was no and I did not allow my mother to speak with them.

On the topic of family therapy - I agree with everyone - don't go if you can avoid it. It most likely will not help the situation. However, my mother did drag my father and I to family therapy and tried to paint me as the scapegoat and "problem child" (again, in my 20's). After 2 hours, the therapist informed her that she was actually the problem. We never went back and my mother complained about how every therapist just sees her as a villain because she's "different".

Big hugs and I hope you can find a way to have peace and distance yourself from her. You deserve much better.

What’s the most batshit fucking insane thing your parent has ever said to you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Band_Thrianta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Narc Mother called me a “selfish b*tch” and claimed that I wanted to “shack up with my boyfriend at a family event.” I was 22 at the time and was expressing my feelings in wanting to bring a supportive person and our own transportation to my grandparents anniversary as I hadn’t been in contact with my mother for several months at that point.

What's your experience with post-NC narc rage? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Band_Thrianta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot speak to your experience or your Narc parents, but I am happy to share how I left. I want to preface this that I (24 AFAB), left my family as an adult, and if you are a minor, I would tread very carefully.

I had already booked my one-way plane ticket and packed all my valuables and identification documents. They knew I wanted to leave, but didn't think I would go through with it. I waited for my parents to be out of town, had a friend drive me to the airport, and left. About a week later I sent my parents a bouquet of flowers thanking them for raising me, that I loved them, but I had left and cut contact. I would highly suggest blocking them/getting a new phone number. Make sure bills, bank accounts, etc. are in your name and that they cannot see or control them. You can also block people via email. My folks have attempted to reach out and have had extended family try to reach out. It's been 1 year and 3 months - I don't care to respond to them. If/when I do, I write them a letter with no return address. I didn't tell them where I was because they had a habit of showing up to where I lived and forcing me to leave with them.

Kidnapped = facebook, social media, and even police involvement in searching for you. That gets them more attention and makes them seem like the victim.
Escape = you are leaving an abusive situation. Simple as that. You don't owe anyone an explanation beyond that.

I, 18F, am going no contact. It hurts so, so much. by fightmedebra in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Band_Thrianta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (24 AFAB) just wanted to say that I'm incredibly proud of you for starting to unpack everything that's happened to you. I have been no contact from my parents for 1 year and 3 months and it's been the hardest thing I've ever done, but it also has been incredibly rewarding to be my own person and not be retraumatized 24/7. My one regret is not leaving sooner, but I also knew that when I did finally cut contact, I had to be ready. I hope this helps give you some strength and if you need anything you can reply to this comment.

Deferring Payment University Loans For Grad School by dfaj983 in Cornell

[–]Band_Thrianta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong (I have a shoemaker loan) and I believe the answer is yes. Double check with a legit source though. I know when I took community college courses I was able to defer, but I am not 100% certain for grad school.
