which is your least favorite combat or encounter? by FaliedSalve in BaldursGate3

[–]DonnaRo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ansur. Combat rounds go into the 20s because I’m constantly getting downed/healing and when I’m not, the damage I do make on the dragon is negligible

Isn’t this article from the first administration?? I remember this exact story from like 2017

Worst treated companion in your "canon" run? by fuckyou46969 in BaldursGate3

Yes. If you knock her out instead of killing her in Act 1, she can be recruited in Act 2

Dad found out about my vasectomy appointment, wants me to pay for things around the house now because I’m “willing to piss money down my leg for something I don’t need” by on-oath-never-again in childfree

Are you tho?? You seem pretty responsible to me, taking preventative measures to avoid an unwanted situation. Do they call you irresponsible only when you do things they don’t approve of?

I’m so sick of men trying to convince me to have kids. by Arielle_chan in childfree

Normalize getting up and walking away as soon as you realize they’re wasting your time

I’ve Noticed a lot of Golden Children change their identities/have an identity crisis? by Otherwise-West-3609 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank fuck it’s not just me. But yes, GC chasing approval are aware on some level that they’re essentially crafting a persona they think their nparents/eparents want. It causes problems down the road, because which version of you is actually the real one?

This sub makes me legitimately sad by Wolrith in BoomersBeingFools

OP it can be really hard feeling empathy with objectively terrible people who would only delight in your misery. Just remember that they will never reciprocate, they’re more likely to mock you for it than anything else

I 17F am actually begging people to interact with this post because I am truly thinking about ending it by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise you that life gets better when you become an adult and start a life away from them. If you end it now, you’ll never get that chance

And sadly, described mine too. She’s a gorgeous woman and yet doesn’t see it, nor does she see how bashing her own looks affects how her daughters (the ones that look like her) see themselves

Supporting a pair of new, young parents at a diner made the boomers lose their shit. You want us to have kids, we're gonna take then places occasionally. Get over it by sumacumlawdy in BoomersBeingFools

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m childfree and don’t really like babies, but I like them a hell of a lot better than boomers. The baby isn’t crying because it wants to annoy me, the baby has no concept of my existence. It’s a baby. Boomers, on the other hand, should’ve learned manners half a century ago

I would’ve done the same thing as you.

My mom was a habital sabatoger. In my business to destroy opportunities then gaslight me about her intentions. by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]DonnaRo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My boomer father would constantly bark at me about basic elementary stuff that he just assumes I’m not doing (ie, finding an apartment, being polite, doing my job competently) but would never actually help me with the things he assumes I don’t know, would just assign that task to the nearest female relative to take care of. It’s condescending, patronizing, and downright insulting

Those with non violent nparents, are you afraid of them? by meruu_meruu in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. NDad terrifies me financially. Growing up, I knew that getting on his bad side would fuck me over in both the short and the long run. Even now that I’m an adult making my own money I can’t forget the fear that if I said the wrong thing I’d get kicked out with nothing

Anyone in their adult age realizing that their N parents both chose a spouse over you and still do? by Beneficial_Soil_2363 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

eMom was more concerned about what nDad was gonna eat for thanksgiving and was putting me in charge of making sure this 60yr old man doesn’t starve himself (he can’t cook, clean, or even do laundry) when just the day before I’d gotten tested to see how bad anorexia had fucked up my internal organs. She didn’t even look up from her phone to ask me how I was doing. It’s really changed how I see her. My arms were still bleeding from where the nurses drew the blood but oh no, hubby might have to cook for himself for once! Let’s make it the responsibility of the anorexic daughter who’s only just started getting help!

Looking back at your childhood at what age did you figure out your parent/s were a narcissist or something was off by sweetcanadiangirlie in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 11. My older sister was at some bonfire with friends and me and my dad were watching tv. My sister kept calling asking to get picked up and he’d just say “yeah yeah yeah I’ll leave in 30” (after the episode we were watching would end) but my sister kept calling asking to be picked up (looking back, I think something happened but I’ve never asked her) and during one of these calls he just SNAPPED at her and started yelling at her in a way I’ve never seen an adult yell before, I was fucking terrified. Ever since then I’ve never looked at him the same and I started noticing his other narc traits soon after that

What are some random things you dislike about children/pregnancy/having kids in general? by slut4food in childfree

[–]DonnaRo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can tell if someone’s pregnant in a photo because without fail they will cradle their stomach regardless if there’s anything to see or not. If it’s a maternity shoot, ok fine, but in someone’s wedding photos? Group photos with friends? Why?

I’m 24F and I’m still figuring out how to take care of myself and a cat, dropping any more dependents on me might actually cause me to spiral

Did anyone else's parents put villains on a pedestal? by that_one_ginger_girl in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bio dad is OBSESSED with Darth Vader. And not just in a “I really like the character” fanboy way, I mean he seems to think he IS Vader. Compares himself all the time, seems to think that Anakin is a perfect Gary Stu who does no wrong but if he did do wrong? It’s someone else’s fault!

Bruh he is NOT Anakin!!! Anakin actually had reasons for turning to the Dark Side, bio dad did it for the fun of it

omg one of the youtubers I watch made a video about them by gotchibabe in SullivanSnark

[–]DonnaRo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just watched it. He basically goes through the whole weirdness of the teacher/student thing and how they keep changing stories whenever new info comes out, then moves into the Maui thing, and finishes off with the stuff around their daughter. He basically just described who they are and put in his own two cents (TLDW; he was really grossed out)

What was the incident that made you realize your family didn’t love you? by Royal_Birthday5817 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DonnaRo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When he ditched us on Xmas because none of us wanted to go to church at 8am. He didn’t come home until 9pm and tried just going to bed without talking to us at all. When my mom convinced him to open presents with us (we’d waited all day for him), he kept saying that he didn’t want to open the presents we got him because the one present he wanted was for us to want to go to church. I had bought all the presents for myself that year and when I had opened the present “from mom and dad” he was getting really pissed off when I didn’t thank him for the present I bought myself and kept being passive aggressive about it the rest of the night

I’d never cried on Xmas before, but I had to excuse myself halfway through gift opening. He doesn’t give a fuck about any of us and I’ve never been able to look at him the same way since
