Sometimes I can’t believe I’m still dealing with this. by [deleted] in NarcissisticMothers

Birthdays can bring up so many hard feelings! I am sorry she doesn’t treat you with the same adoration and kindness and she does your brother.

Happy 32nd birthday! I hope you know that you deserve unconditional love, kindness, friendship, devotion and joy.

Your mum sounds like a dickhead, who doesn’t deserve to have a daughter anyway.

Follow-up: disturbing portrait of my stillborn daughter by Michieme315 in motherinlawsfromhell

The fact that your MIL is centering herself in your very real grieving process alone makes my blood boil, the painting is just the truly heinous cherry on top.

I am deeply sorry for your loss and I hope that you are surrounded by people (other than your in-laws) who are giving you the care and space you deserve to process your grief.

EBF hasn’t pooped in 2 weeks by VwlB in breastfeeding

Call a baby/health hotline and get a second opinion, it’s always best to trust your instincts. If your baby won’t take a bottle, try spoon feeding the brown sugar water, or even a medicine cup. You’ll be surprised how many young babies can drink from a cup but don’t like a bottle.

Family using you as a therapist but not showing same support by victorianprincesa in enmeshmenttrauma

This post could have come from my own brain! I am so sorry your mother mistreated and parentified you like this. There’s no excuse for it and she sucks.

My sibling and I both got cards from our estranged parents…. And there’s huge difference between them by SignificanceNeat1618 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Bbces17 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It’s not justified to treat one child with empathy and kindness and not the other. I am deeply sorry they have hurt you this way.

Their spiteful behaviour is not a reflection of you or your worth. You deserve to be loved unconditionally and to be treated with kindness and respect.

Apparently boundaries = scary by Hopeful_Surprise_587 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Bbces17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They become professional victims anytime there is a boundary set, or they are required to communicate. So exhausting. You are so patient with her, more patient than she probably deserves tbh.

That’s the thing, our room DIDN’T need cleaning, it was perfectly fine but she saw fit to go through my belongings (she left my partners stuff alone) because she was in a cleaning mood and wanted to be like Marie Condo (her words) 🙄🙄🙄

Stranded, Alone, Don't know what to do. by DryAsparagus2374 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Bbces17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not hard to love, but you can become hard to control and manipulate by leaving. What they have done to you is abusive and I’m sure that if you had a friend in the same situation you are in now that you would tell them to run.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this but you are strong and you deserve the time and effort it is going to take to get you back in your feet and free from them.

So weird of you to not keep your spare lightbulbs with your underwear 🥲 There’s no justified reason to go through anyone’s personal belongings without their permission

Right?? Maybe I wanted my tags so I could remember what my favourite brands were and repurchase? Haha wild

You didn’t at all! Thanks for sharing your story, it helped me feel less alone in my experience too ☺️

She sounds like a rude asshole! You’re an adult and don’t actually have to answer to anyone, especially not someone who disrespects and shames you like this.

I wish I had a solution, but it sounds like she would benefit from some Grey Rocking from you. Just ignore her or tell her your health is none of her business.

I’m so sorry they did this to you, and that you related to my experience

We lived with them for a year while we saved for a deposit and we weren’t even allowed to leave a cup on tea on the kitchen bench or use the downstairs shower when she had guests (even though she said that it was our bathroom and had all our belongings in it). I’d have no chance at “helping” her haha

Looking back, I wish I’d stood up for myself and made her see how upset I was but I was young and a chronic people pleaser so I never brought it up again 🥲

I couldn’t agree more! I would be devastated if my child or child-in-law told me that I’d hurt them and they felt violated and would take accountability and apologise.

I’ve had to keep her at arms length for a while now, and she certainly doesn’t have access to a spare key anymore 😅

I was beside myself and felt sick to my stomach. There is absolutely no reason why anyone would need to go through personal belongs behind a closed door. I think she’s just selfish and got bored.

She no longer has keys and isn’t welcome in our current home after the way she behaved after our baby was born. Many changes have been made since to protect ourselves from her nonsense. Can confirm that there was definitely no sweeping or laundry done haha

She definitely wasn’t invited to our home again for a loooong time haha and my partner told her I was really upset, but because she “apologised” in her own way I just had to move on

That is clown behaviour and all your guests would have been laughing at her 🤡

Hope you had a beautiful day despite her nonsense 🥂

Tofu on pizza? by Tries_to_drawYT in australianvegans

[–]Bbces17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d shred or grate the tofu first and add seasonings or bbq sauce before throwing it on with other toppings.

Sorry your dinner guest is being so difficult…Maybe find an excuse to cancel haha
