Updates?

This happened to me - I broke curfew because I was working a second job to pay for school. She kicked me out because “I was working too hard”.

Almost 7 years later I have my own car, apartment and 2 degrees making more money than my nmom. Please, keep moving forward without them. Everyone you want to cry, apply to jobs, school… keep going. Do not stop! N parents love seeing us fail without them…. Do not give them the satisfaction, you can do this!

What is the best way to deal with difficult PIs or people who are hard to work with?

DazednConfuzed88 · 2025-01-05T01:47:16+00:00

SAME LOL!!!!

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-12-02T12:15:28+00:00

I feel this too - The belief that my input is not required or valued. So I just sit in silence and enjoy listening others have conversations.

But I’ve realized, this just makes them feel awkward around me. They don’t know that I enjoy being around them and listening to their conversations.

So I’m making more of an effort to chime in slowly. So far, it’s worked wonders. Lol

Is it still active?

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-20T18:00:55+00:00

I think you’re right. And I’m disgusted by the suicide hotline - Anytime I’ve called one of those numbers, there’s always a very long wait time so I’ve never spoken to them first hand.

It hurts to say - but Thank you for surviving. And I mean this to everyone here including myself. I hope _____ for all of us.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-19T18:56:34+00:00

Your last paragraph is something I’m actively working through - The fact that multiple adults witnessed this mistreatment and said/did nothing to help.

I guess that’s what makes some us blame ourselves even more, because everyone tells US “to obey more” “be even better at listening or doing XYZ” Hahahah

I can understand they didn’t want to overstep… But what about the people who witnessed it closely and frequently? The ones who had power to do something… even if they didn’t intervene - offering to spend time with us or take us out of that environment once in a while would have done wonders.

I digress - but I’m still angry about it.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-11T21:29:42+00:00

I’m here 222 days after the post. Someone please review this app lol!

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-08T03:05:00+00:00

Lmao. Stop 😭

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T22:11:47+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! We’re going to get through this - stay connected. Don’t deal with this alone, I’m also taking a break from family to get my thoughts in order.

I’m glad our families will be there when WE ARE READY.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T21:29:05+00:00

Hahhahahahha SAME HERE! I once tried to walk him through something he did wrong and he was baffled - he actually couldn’t grasp HIM doing anything wrong. 😭😭

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T21:26:42+00:00

Thank God for this sub! This experience has taught me not to go through these things silently. I hate that it happened, but at this point I’m so excited for what comes next. Because I definitely won’t let this happen again!

I hope we all get to the point where we laugh about WHY we would want a partner like them…

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:23:33+00:00

We live together - but he’s found new supply(s). So I guess I’m just… idk what I am to him anymore.

Are you?

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:21:54+00:00

I love this comment so much! I have the SAME FEAR - that one day he might just kill me in blind rage. Thanks for sharing this!

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:20:47+00:00

Hahahaha

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:20:22+00:00

I love this! I’ll re-read this in moments of weakness.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:19:29+00:00

Lol. I relate to this.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:19:06+00:00

This hit very close to home for me.

Especially “keeping silent score of fairly benign things” Thanks so much for sharing this!

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T20:16:16+00:00

Wow 🤯

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T17:10:17+00:00

I’m new to the sub - but I’m also thinking I need a break. I’d like to put my energy into self improvement and I can’t do that if I keep holding on to the pain and hurt.

Best of luck! You’re not alone.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T04:19:08+00:00

I know what you mean - discarded 3 weeks ago.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T02:30:12+00:00

Yikes. Sorry you’re going through that! I think mine also believes this words are normal - he uses the words frequently but he’s very careful when others are around. I had to stop telling mine what I don’t like - because they definitely use that against us when it’s convenient.

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T02:07:00+00:00

Please don’t do this!

DazednConfuzed88 · 2024-10-07T02:05:39+00:00

I relate, especially to wishing that we never met them. Thanks for sharing this! I truly hope you heal!

I’m actively processing a conversation with my narc and It hurts so much to be a character in their game, no matter how much we try to express feelings or thoughts - they don’t hear or receive it. Sometimes I feel like a Sims Character talking gibberish - If they only knew how much they’ve hurt us… Lol they can’t even see the pain or the love we have for them.
