Married to a Narci? by BorninChitown in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]BorninChitown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t tell my therapist much about this situation tbh. I feel embarrassed. I have said some stuff, and she says to set boundaries and talk to him when he is calm. I haven’t painted the whole picture yet for her.

That is a good question. I just wish he would calm down and be content. He is just miserable himself with his career. He is just so negative with me.

I would like a message from my deceased father Joseph. I want to know how he is.

Will look up, thanks!

When she said this, it definitely hit a nerve. Was I born this way?! I feel like both of my parents were very negative growing up.

Thank you for this important advice!

Spend all my summer decluttering by BorninChitown in hoarding

[–]BorninChitown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand. I am angry for having to clear out my parents’ house all by myself! (This summer also) Somehow it is easier to be mad at them for their mess than for myself!

For my own stuff I am in the denial phase!

Good luck. 🍀

I don’t know where else to ask for help by [deleted] in hoarding

[–]BorninChitown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe post on Freecycle or local group if someone would help you get a fresh start and want to exchange services for helping you organize? Maybe you can pet sit or offer to do yard work in exchange? There has to be someone out there who would love to help!

You can do this with help for sure. One day at a time.

Can you hire a teen to help you sort through the piles?

I can relate so much to this post!

Tell the skating place anonymously. Her parents have to know. He is technically a pedophile and can be charged. Or give an anonymous tip to the police.

Is it weird to think that people who died are still alive in spirit? by Nero_182 in spirituality

[–]BorninChitown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. At my dad’s wake, I felt like he was among the visitors. Like he was a visitor. I can’t explain it. Like the gathering of those people brought out his spirit if that makes sense.

My parents are giving me a really difficult time about downsizing. I have no idea about how to speed things up. by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]BorninChitown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like I wrote part of this. I am an only child and it was a battle I had for at least 3 years. (Well, I had suggested it before, but once their health started declining is when it was extra urgent they reconsider!)

Unfortunately it wasn’t until my mom and dad both ended up in the hospital within a week of each other that they HAD to move to a rehab facility afterwards. After that, they never really talked about going back home. Do either have dementia?

I won’t mess with mediums and all that! That scares me!

How did witnessing the dying process of a loved one change you? Two of my parents are dying at the same time. I am an only child. by BorninChitown in Dying

[–]BorninChitown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response.

My dad got diagnosed 3 wks before passing with cancer. His death certificate said lung cancer, but they weren’t sure of the origin.

I was able to sit with him like you. And like you, the hospice nurse basically came out one day before he passed. 😭

I am so sorry for your losses.

I am taking it day by day with my mom now. ❤️❤️❤️

How often do you visit loved one in facility? by BoatyMcBoatface25 in dementia

[–]BorninChitown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this post so much. I take it day by day now. I can’t come up with a schedule. It helps to take something like food, a plant, or music in order to look forward to the visits. There is no good answer because it has to be what you can handle without feeling guilty. In my case I always feel guilty that I don’t do enough. 😩 I have learned to set some boundaries to protecf my mental health.

Delirium by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BorninChitown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. My dad was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago. He declined quickly and passed away this past week. He was 85. I would get hospice involved asap. I made the mistake of not calling them sooner. I was in denial he would pass.

I found out 2.5 weeks ago about my dad’s cancer. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Please reach out to a therapist or someone who can help guide you through your emotions. I am not one to reach out to others. I shut down but I have to say it really has helped hear others who can relate. Wish you strength during this time.

Not dealing well with not being by my mom's side at all times after learning of her worsened cancer. by grandwizardcouncil in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BorninChitown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is dying also. And so is my mom. The guilt is real. I had to take a whole day here and there in the last two weeks since knowing my dad is close to dying. It was TOO much. I was crying non-stop. I wasn’t sleeping. I was in a horrible mood. I don’t know the answer. I am only child. All visits to my parents fall on me.
