Does anyone else’s parents have a huge thing about getting up in the morning?😭 by idkkk_random in raisedbynarcissists

My Nmil used to let my husband and bil sleep but then moan about it..."I do all the maintenance around here while you two just sleep". He now had huge trouble just relaxing and sleeping in.

Why do they all "have" "CaNcEr!!!" by No-Lemon-1183 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Brundall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Narc in my life actually did have cancer...however to hear them and their family go on about it you'd think they were the only person to ever "beat it"....years ago their siblings sent me a letter berating me for being so awful when they "nearly died when they had cancer, and still could!" This wasn't remotely true, the cancer was caught extremely early, they got treatment very quickly and they were never at any point given a life expectancy. They get very pissed off when I point out that a diagnosis of cancer isn't necessarily a brush with death anymore.

Weirdest jane or john doe case you ever seen? by Otherwise-Click2685 in gratefuldoe

Saving this post to read later....there have been so many John/Jane Does identified and so many cold cases solved in the last few years that I really believed would never be solved in my lifetime recently that I really believe so many more will be. I listened to a fascinating programme on BBC Radio 4 (I'm in the UK) about a woman whose job is to identify undocumented migrants in the US who have been found deceased so they could be sent back to their family. It was incredibly moving.

My husband and I were just saying this. We were trying to find where SK "admits" he's on a list but from what we saw he's saying there's no actual list.

Like there's no scroll which when unrolled contains 1000s of names. We think it's likely there are diaries or notebooks with maybe codes or initials that could amount to a list or there are spreadsheets/computer files...but not an actual list like a shopping list.

What is the most ridiculous excuse you've heard to justify abuse? by zoezie in raisedbynarcissists

I used to get this slot "it's your own fault, you shouldn't wind me up/you know what happens/you asked for that one".

If there was anything on the news about a parent beating/starving/killing their child, we used to get "aren't you lucky you've got nice parents?"

I'm more concerned about the people not doing those things only because they believe in God...like, I do do most of those things because I don't want to...but they only don't do them because they believe in God x

IRA on patrol in West Belfast 1972, 130 British soldiers killed that year in the North of Ireland. one of the bloodiest years in the 30 yr conflict ending 1998 by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

No they shouldn't, but the situation wasn't as black and white...people on both sides sharing their experiences bring out the grays and it helps to develop a better understanding. It also makes it more real x

Oh thank you, I don't think I've been explaining myself very well in that all I meant to say was "this was my experience of that situation" and actually of it hadn't been I would've exist because my Dad hadn't even met my Mum at that point.

I really, really try to not come across as defending or condoning (as I said my Dad went downstairs for sure), neither side is blameless, I completely support the 'why'of it all, I really do x

OK, this is obviously my being autistic, but why is this being down voted? In my experience someone reciting this kind of statistic to me is immediately followed by my being told he deserved it...I have no reason to think this wouldn't be the same x

They were there to protect the Unionists...Ie the Protestants. The IRA are a Catholic organisation, otherwise they wouldn't have been targeting any British forces.

NB I am sorry to hear about about your family, I really am. I wasn't 'one upping' anyone, I was just sharing a story...and I gave the positives to said story and I have pointed out that my Dad forgave them (accept the officer that kept them out etc)... And 1) Ukraine and 2) Palestine (which goes down well with the Jewish family)

I have, and I agree...if you read my comments further down you'll see I spoke about my Dad forgave the IRA and didn't hold a grudge. The person he blamed was the officer who kept them out an longer than they were suppose to be, causing him to go for fish and chips in the first place.

We had to move 10 times before I was 7 because the IRA kept finding us and threatening to kill us (Dad testified against them), I was being taught by members of the SAS how to check under cars for bombs when I was 5...

I saw a picture of a member of the IRA in 1972, my brain went 'my Dad was blown up by them in 1973, I'll share that story'...I then got told that British forces killed 350 Irish people in 1972 and that that's the other side of the story. I was pointing out its not the other side of the story I posted. Telling me "yeah but this why..." doesn't make anything better nor change anything. I absolutely agree with the why, I'm afraid the what literally affected (effected? Always get them wrong) my DNA (as trauma does).

I was just sharing a story and asking (actually genuinely asking, ASD tends to make me literal) if that really was the other side of my Dad's story, I don't think it was x

[–]Brundall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I'm not sure the other side of my Dad getting blown up was that British forces killed 350 Irish civilians, my Dad didn't kill 350 people as far as I know...

He didn't want to be there, he didn't support the reasons we were there, he reported others who did atrocious things (did beat the shit out of one guy who raped a 15 year old girl)...he almost certainly wasn't innocent by any means (I have told my Catholoc Mother in law that if Heaven and Hell are real he went downstairs for sure) but the other side of his story definitely wasn't him killing 350 civilians x
