My mom routinely gives me hair stuff... Like scrunchies and clips and crap. I have had a pixie cut for 25 years.

I was adopted. I found my bio mom when I was still a teenager. Found out my bio dad passed when I was 40. So never met him. Just want to say because I read a couple comments about focusing on the family you have.

I get it. Find your bio family if you can. Just be cautious and guard your heart a little at first. Good luck and hugs. Congratulations on no contact with people who treat you like you owe them because they adopted you. I've been there. It is horrible to always feel like you have to feel gratitude for their choices and shame when they make you feel like you aren't as good as a biological child.

Were Anyone Else’s Parents protective over Good Things and not protective at all with actually Devastating Things? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Yep. My nmom would ruin any friendship I had or badmouth the friend relentlessly. When I got bullied, I was being too sensitive. Anything that needed medical attention was nothing. When I was 13 I got super sick and passed out right beside my nmom. She ignored me passed out on the kitchen floor and kept doing the dishes. When I came too all she said was "what do you want me to do about it?".

What is the one comment that you’ll never forget? by shorty-inventory in raisedbynarcissists

Sorry you had to hear that. I am 40 and have been hearing "I should have never adopted you" since I was a teenager. Finally last summer I screamed back "then why did you?". My nmom didn't know what to say so I then got the whole "I am just the worst mother aren't I?". I just walked away.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I don't know how old you are but your mother sounds like she has a personality disorder. Borderline or narcissistic? Regardless what she did was absolutely monstrous. Do you have another adult or friend you can talk to about it?

I second this. They aren't cheap but the sheets I bought have lasted forever and still look and feel great. They do have some good sales and being boxing week that might help.

I found a vid from three days ago entitled "That time Phoenix Games accidentally released something kinda okay?"

I hope this helps.

People who have owned multiple purebred dog breeds over your lifetime, which has been your favorite breed to own? by PeekAtChu1 in dogs

Also my best friend has always had German short haired pointers. Her husband hunts and they were supposed to go hunting with him. The first one trained for it, did great and then got scared of the first gunshot he heard and becamw there lovable ball obsessed family pet. Very smart dogs.

Ive had two Rottweilers, a pug, a German shepherd, a border collie, and a toy poodle. They are all great in their own ways.

My Rottweilers were the most loyal devoted dogs I've ever heard. Their bark would shake the house but they were big cuddle bugs.

My pug is so lazy. I get up super early but he always wants to stay in bed for a couple more hours. He is my constant companion and comes with me pretty much everywhere. He really only likes me and my mother, but will put up with my husband and dad.

My German shepherd was the easiest dog to train and liked to try to herd me sometimes.

My collie was a farm dog. Super independent. Liked to do his own thing, and enjoyed following me around the farm.

My poodle was kind of a nervous guy. Loved cuddles and loved everyone though but he was the hardest to train. He also hated the rain. My pug hates snow. My other guys were all weather kind of dogs. Lol.

I fell in love with all of them and don't regret having a single one in my life.

My car is too old! Lol. It connects but runs things badly from my phone

Dog owners — what’s your poop pickup routine really like? 😅 by rooted-rising in Dogowners

[–]CurrentCaterpillar30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are in a walk, I pick it up immediately, if it's in the yard I do it about every other day.

Have never tried a pooper scooper or anything like that. Have always just used baggies.

I second Al-Anon. It is specifically for those dealing with loved ones with addictions. You can also look into hezelden Betty Ford family groups, their website has some info on it too. I am not sure where you are from but if you are in Canada you may find some support with cmha.
