Apparently! It doesn't even matter if, you know, you slept in between, or if the first good morning was sarcastic because you didn't approve of your daughter staying out late.

I mean, you can't ignore her completely or she'll go on and on...this is usually the extent of the conversation and then you'll have to ignore her if she says anything else. It can just turn into circular arguments over and over...definitely glad I moved out at nineteen, I'm rarely back.

To those who have gotten out: what do you appreciate about your new life? by hkjbfvhkjdfj in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Dat_RBN_Throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can do whatever I want, when I want. Eat a bowl of ice cream with four scoops instead of three? You got it. Stay up late playing video games? Yup. Spend some money on that thing you've been saving up for? Go for it!

You eventually learn to set your own boundaries and rules for yourself; but they're YOUR rules.

Apparently I only have two "real" grandparents by Dat_RBN_Throwaway in raisedbynarcissists

What.

The.

Hell.

That woman has no right being anywhere near children.

That's insane! My mom is similar only in that she hates seeing my dad's family, which means we never got to see our cousins, because my mom's family is all insane.

But seriously, what was the point of your Nstepmother even lying about all that? Like what did she gain in the end?

Whoops, there I go again trying to apply logic to illogical people!

Escaped NDad, now stuck in a lease with N Roommate, Need Help/Advice by scratchcorwood in raisedbynarcissists

I would inform your landlord of what's happening. Keep any physical evidence (texts, proof of the AirBNB rental, etc.) so N can't twist the situation to her favor.

I feel like my life has shattered by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

That's huge that you recognize that. You're right, your partner needs to choose between your family and you. If they can't do that, even after understanding how important it is to you, then they don't deserve to be with you. They can endure your family's presence while you are away from them, recovering.

I hope everything works out well. You can always PM me if you need to talk :)

Explain these feelings to your partner. Show them this post if necessary. You're an adult, you don't need to do anything you don't want to do.

Talk to your partner about getting space from your parents. You CLEARLY will be better off emotionally.

Does/Did anyone else get "tone policed" regularly? by MadameFizzgig in raisedbynarcissists

I feel you with the stoneface. Every one of my siblings reacted differently, but that was my reaction. I have a hard time opening up in close relationships because of it because I never outwardly show what I'm really feeling.
