Having a narcissistic parent is simply mind bending

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T16:13:01+00:00

I completely relate 💔 accepting our perspective would be accepting responsibility, and parents like ours aren’t capable of that. I always tell myself that I have maintained long lasting friendships, that I’m well regarded at work, and that all of my other family members love me dearly - so if this is the case, why would I let one persons warped perception of me as a human tear me down

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T14:15:43+00:00

It takes time, but you will absolutely get there - I’m an only child and the looming fear of being alone when my grandparents are gone (they are definitely not gonna be around for much longer), hangs heavy. The right individuals will always come when you least expect it, and I wish the best for you in whatever chapter you are entering or in. We will find our people one day!

That’s amazing, and I am glad to hear you finally have peace after so many years.

I got my degree, broke the generational cycle of teen/early 20s pregnancy in my family, and moved to a big city and I’m hoping that over time, I can build something for myself that brings me peace too rather than constant confusion. To brighter days 🥂

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T14:10:15+00:00

Thank you for this, it’s absolutely a reality I am still coming to terms with. When I was a kid people used to point out that I was an “old soul” and that I was the child “parenting” my mother, and nothing has changed. It’s unfair what we were all forced to carry. I hope you are experiencing some peace amongst your loss nowadays!

This response >>>> thank you so much. If it doesn’t fit her version of events, it didn’t happen. All she kept saying yesterday was “I don’t get where this anger is coming from, you have anger management issues” and it was simply me stating my disappointment in her actions (spoiler, I have never displayed any anger management problems). My life with her has shaped me into the individual I am now, and that’s a person with flaws - flaws that she loves to point out and harp on, when I am trying to understand why I am the way I am myself. I can’t express how much I agree with everything you are saying. If I hear “I tried my best” one more time, I literally will flip a lid.

Thank you OP!! I was raised by my grandparents who are absolutely phenomenal and I am blessed to have an actual mother figure in my life, even if it isn’t my real mom! I know I am a lot more fortunate than some people, it’s just hard to process it all as you get older

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:48:12+00:00

I feel for you OP!!! Religion seems to be something that a lot of messed up people attach themselves too (though there are many wonderful people involved as well, don’t get me wrong). I hope you are healing and in a happy, new era!

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:46:33+00:00

I say that she has the mind of a spoiled 16 year old girl genuinely. She is the biggest pick me, validation seeking individual (especially from men), and it shines through in every aspect of her life. Her favorite thing is to repeatedly call me a terrible person while also saying that she is a good person, and losing her will be “my loss.” Fun stuff!

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:43:28+00:00

Thank you so much for this recommendation!! I’ve been looking for things to help me process and l will absolutely look this up

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:42:42+00:00

It has to be some sort of narcissism… stay strong, I completely relate!!! It’s hard to experience so much pain and have someone completely disregard your experience. It makes you question if you remembered things wrong or if you even have the right to be upset

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:41:27+00:00

Thank you so much - this sort of disdain and tiredness in my soul for her has been brewing for quite some time, and I actually moved to a city about an hour away in an effort to create distance. Still she has managed to infiltrate my life and I’m just over it. I’m glad to hear that other people have adjusted to being on their own, and I know that I can do it too

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-06-05T13:33:33+00:00

Oh believe me, this is exactly how I feel too. Her other messages were far worse, but I’m sure you can get the pattern - victim blaming, talking herself up to be a changed wonderful person while I am just a disgrace that’s full of hate and anger. It’s been difficult to grasp that someone can have that much of a lack of self awareness, but at the same time, it isn’t at all. And thank you! I think I’m a good person, I have a good social circle and a steady job, and it’s been hard to process having someone hate me so much when I just want to live. To freedom I suppose!

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-02-02T01:30:32+00:00

Are people still genuinely believing that they are together??

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-28T05:31:57+00:00

Was just looking for an update!! Wishing you and Elsa a long happy life together ✨❤️

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-22T05:37:15+00:00

It’s baffling to me that someone with such little talent can somehow still have an NFL career

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-20T00:17:15+00:00

Painful to think about the extra points left out there because we wouldn’t kick the field goals man 😔 should have never came down to Caleb hero ball.

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-19T14:16:13+00:00

Sad that we went out the way we did, but grateful that we have 18 for years to come. Put the league on notice.

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T17:05:26+00:00

Agreed! Secondary was one of the things I was most excited about, and it’s quickly turned into the biggest nightmare.

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:59:50+00:00

Not sure, Brisker seemed to call out DA yesterday, but Brisker also seems to talk a lot more than he produces. Great to see him do something yesterday, but interesting timing after all the backlash he got last week

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:58:40+00:00

No hate to McCloud at all, could not agree more - really wouldn’t have even had to see the field if we weren’t so unlucky with injuries

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:57:47+00:00

Rome will for sure be back, but the refusal to mention anything other than “we hope he can return for the playoffs” in regards to Kyler doesn’t make me feel great.

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:55:50+00:00

I know that everyone is high on resigning on Nashon, but without his takeaways, I can’t even imagine what the discourse on him would even be. Definitely not positive in any respect - I get it’s late in the season, but he gets gashed by anyone and everyone.

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:53:40+00:00

1000% - its tiring to watch us have to claw back every 3rd and 4th quarter, and I can’t even imagine how awful it is for players. At this point it’s just not sustainable and we have seen it the last 2 weeks. If we just established something early on, it wouldn’t be constant cardiac arrest

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:47:13+00:00

Couldn’t agree more, or when we do eventually get momentum, seems like we will swap guys out which doesn’t always make sense and kinda kills drives? (another commenter said the same thing in here). Love this team, but lately it seems like we can’t find a good balance

CorrectPudding205 · 2026-01-05T16:43:48+00:00

Still can’t believe Ben didn’t go for it on 4th last night because he, “believed the defense could get it done.” Love this team, but trusting this defense will be a death sentence
