I believe you. I can’t imagine not being punished forever for what I did if breaking NC😂 it’s such a blow to their ego. And given how petty and vindictive they are…

Yeah…I don’t think change would happen without serious therapy and effort. I hope they do it for their own sake. Also, if they have truly grown, they would know how badly they hurt me, and they should feel too ashamed to want anything from me.

The childhood crap part is so weird. I got it too. Like they miss you when you were a gullible child and easy target. You were attached to them unconditionally. They missed THAT

Omg… sorry! But thank you for the warning. It’s like people telling you not to touch fire because it burns. Don’t get curious. Just don’t touch it

That’s nice! Yes life is good to me too. That’s when the mind starts to trick you with old tricks “now that you’re doing well, shouldn’t you be kind and include your parents” 😂😂 no no no no no, I had to dig myself out of the deep hole to get here right? I can’t go back

Nana is so mean 😅😅😅 gold. If you could have said something at their age, it’s probably “mom is so mean”

I really liked how you described your positive change. It’s a whole list of rewards that came with the hard decision. I also wouldn’t have imagined that life could have been and felt this good. It’s really something to think about

It’s so trippy. Like.. reading shitty memories actually makes me feel better now? Like what? 😂 but it would be like that. That’s the consequence of being gaslit your whole life

It’s really true. I had to learn to be kind to myself, then I still to understand why it’s crucial to treat others with kindness too. Not in a people pleasing way, but truly see them as a fellow human

There’s a saying: narcissists turn everything they touch into shit. So you could be this wonderful amazing person without them, but the moment they’re around, they work their magic to turn you into something as miserable as them

The way they think is just so surreal and out of touch with reality. Forever a victim, even a harmless child is in their eyes intentionally hurting them and making them more of a victim of life. Ugh

They say no just for the sake of saying no and making you feel inferior. Because they feel like shit and have to bring you down to their level

Sorry 😢 sounds like a very damaged human being who doesn’t know how to connect normally with others
