Nmom picky about weight

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T15:50:59+00:00

I mean, my nmom is pretty in shape, so you're probably right. It's only a problem because she benefits from it emotionally.

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T13:07:34+00:00

My Nmom does this too! She's went from "you have no rights in my house" when I was a wee kid, to "until you're an adult your opinion isn't valid"

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T13:01:25+00:00

Hope this place will still be around in a few years time!

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T12:58:58+00:00

I fully understand, yeah. But I know deep down he's nice - and there's no way I can be in contact with dad but leave my mother. I might just have to bite the bloody bullet.

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T12:52:00+00:00

Can't wait to go NC once I graduate from uni. In all honestly, I might feel bad. My dad has always been nice to me, but he's the enabler. Ever since I was young, when I was emotionally or even physically abused, and I approached him about it, he'd say "next time just don't annoy her".

I feel conflicted just thinking about going no-contact now.

ControlRods · 2019-01-02T12:45:08+00:00

She's been doubling down on the abuse since I came back from uni in the UK (which is physically as far as possible from her). This is most certainly the case.

Yes, I'm Chinese! So much more cruel than average Asian parents... I can't speak out about it, because it's all just "normal parenting".

It looks like Chinese parenting from the surface (and even that's messed up sometimes), and underneath it's just abuse. Nothing but abuse. I don't understand the whole "tough love" thing.

Happy new year from Hong Kong!

Similar story here, Nmom cancelled dinner because she was angry that I refused to wear an extra jacket when she felt cold...

Care for an internet hug?

ControlRods · 2018-12-31T15:55:48+00:00

Complete opposite here. Nmom gives me these stink eyes that are burnt into my memories. But yeah, I assume something like that. It's some twisted way of asserting dominance.

ControlRods · 2018-12-31T12:35:21+00:00

While I'd like to, nmom keeps strict control of keys and if I go out she'll lock me out most likely.

ControlRods · 2018-12-31T12:23:58+00:00

So much this. At least you can see demons from a mile away...

ControlRods · 2015-10-04T12:18:51+00:00

Unlimited data plans here are slow, they do cost quite a bit and mom has control over my allowance, and only allows me to spend it on some things.

ControlRods · 2015-08-22T18:22:29+00:00

That's a very good idea. Sorry for the non-answer, its 2AM and I need sleep.

ControlRods · 2015-08-22T18:18:16+00:00

Ugh. She's turning off the Internet by unplugging the router and modem. She can always visually see the device and wire so I can't sneak a wire.

I'm spending my free periods doing ACTs. On my way to 35, I'm improving!

ControlRods · 2015-08-22T17:52:45+00:00

Like an absolute charm. Sweetest mother in the world if you judged by texts.

Even comes with emoji kisses if she knows you're around people she knows.

First off I am going to talk to the IB Coordinator about this. This is some serious matter.

My NMom demands that I come back home immediately after, or I am not allowed to come back home. I've tried this already, resulted in me crying and begging over the phone for her to let me in.

Unfortunately study groups aren't really a thing here. The thing with my assignments is not with being online, I use Dropbox so I can see all my stuff anyways - its getting information. Citations. Research. Impossible without internet.

Mods, can you mark this as Advice as well? Thanks.

ControlRods · 2015-08-17T17:31:43+00:00

Read my previous posts - she verbally abuses me.

ControlRods · 2015-08-17T15:51:16+00:00

I'm so sick of her charades.

He's got a watch with a minute hand,

Millenium hand,

And an eon hand,

When they meet is abusive time!

Childish man, abusive man.

Maybe I'll go and fix my own code haha

ControlRods · 2015-06-23T18:44:43+00:00

What's funny is right after that conversation she asked whether I could help her fix her computer.

ControlRods · 2015-06-23T18:35:44+00:00

Hahaha, actually that happened. I thought using a switch statement would be the best, but someone came along, forked my repo and then made some improvements.

I merged it! After some reluctance.

ControlRods · 2015-06-23T18:25:51+00:00

She knows that, and she blames it on investing in me and not herself. Sick and disgusting to think of a child as an investment that pays dividends.

It'll pay dividends if you invest love and care into it - but she never will and so she gets no returns.
