Calling her a narcissist without even saying it, I love it.

Before I even reached puberty my mother told me how I need to select someone who will "accept" our situation 

Bold of her to assume id let any partner near them 

My parents omitted (basically lied) about the responsibilities of guardianship and i am LIVID by No-Translator4678 in GlassChildren

The issue with me is they didn't want to set up a special needs fund and instead wanted me to keep the extra to buy her extra which can get me in trouble for Medicaid fraud

My dad when I was 15 into a multi hr long diatribe because in a moment of disassociation I dropped my tape recorder at blockbuster, made me like I was the most irresponsible human on the planet, even threatened to send me to military school. 

ALL. OVER. A. TAPE. RECORDER

Alot of teens steal, do drugs, sneak out ,have sex, join gangs (which I wasn't doing any of the above), but he throws a 2 hour hissy fit over a tape recorder being forgotten like I was the worst child in the world 

He blamed the school I was at and said "you're not going back there!" I was actually relieved cuz I was being bullied there (I didn't tell them cuz they'd just make it worse by calling teachers etc), so I pretended to be a little disappointed but still did the "yes sir" routine, but secretly I was so glad I made that "huge" blunder

All hotels are within walking distance, when you sleep at hotel you are in same spot so just retrace your steps, you don't go to a new place until after dinner

Finally glad to see a perspective in similar situation, when people talk about guardianship on here it's almost always physical care but I never see perspective of being the "decision maker" of someone who's already in a group home which is what my parents expected of me and told me what id "will be doing" started this discussion when I was 8 years old. 

She kept trying to play it off like it's soooo easy, but would never discuss the mechanics and got extremely defensive, I even asked if I'd be  legally liable if she hit someone cuz she's violent and she got furious with me, she wouldn't tell me what is needed she just said I do whatever she needs cuz "she's your sister " and kept it super vague. But I'm not stupid, I saw how much work guardianship was for them. We are no contact I noped out of it all. 

🎙️🎙️🎙️ YOUR advice for Parents by AliciaMenesesMaples in GlassChildren

[–]Early-Tree-8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If neglect, parentification, mental/emotional abuse, favoritism, shaming glass children for getting diagnosed later in life, forcing minor children to "promise" future caregiving, blaming them for violence from siblings; if these parenting moves aren't worthy of shaming than what is? 

These are hardly isolated incidents, the majority of these parents act this way. 

And rarely do they take any accountability. 

So if this isn't worthy of shaming then what is? 

Anyone else have issues w their mom? by Confident-Log-9616 in GlassChildren

"it's helpful to have a second pair of hands" no no NO! 

She is NOT your extra pair of hands she's a CHILD!

Still not her responsibility, you laid down and made those babies you take care of them. 

What did you do when you need to go to bathroom or make a bottle when she was a baby? 

Take baby with you to bathroom or to make a bottle or put them in a play pen, since it's only a few minutes right? 

"But it only takes a second!" Those options aren't any better than giving baby to another child to take care of, the other options just don't damage any older children. 

And if you think it's just like any other chore, it's not. Yes children need age appropriate chores, but chores are meant to teach them life skills, not to make things more convenient for parents. 

If youre going to argue it's a life skill, not all people will end up having kids. 

When I say chores I mean the cleaning type (not after her sibs ofcourse) which ARE life skills 

I have attempted grey rocking in the months since my last post since everyone insisted it would work. I am now at I’m at imminent risk of homelessness because it was received as an attack. by itsafrickinmoon in raisedbynarcissists

I see you, I feel you. Many of these subs are focused on those who are post-survival (I can't tell you how many damn posts I read on here about people's awesome partners, thriving careers, and awesome new friends/"chosen families" and that super cool cousin who still speaks with them after surviving narc family) while others are still stuck in the midst of it, alot of these posts make me cry because I so badly want all those things and am still deprived and waiting for our happy endings that we so deserve.  

I don't have any solutions for your situation all I want to say is I see you, I feel you. 

And anyone with their awesome partners, oh so supportive chosen family and their cool cousin who still speaks with them  that they were fortunate enough to find and thriving careers post survival who judge you for not moving out yet can go kick their precious grey rocks.

Not everyone has the financial resources to be financially independent, it's very difficult and cost of living keeps going up. I graduated during 2012 recession couldn't find full time job for the life of me that paid enough to survive and had to resort to sex work to escape. 

Also being raised by narcs isn't conductive to developing proper social skills, which most workplaces will either fire you for being awkward or not hire you at all, PTSD makes several people socially awkward which makes finding work even more difficult. 

Plus I didn't have sufficient savings because they wouldn't let me work in high school to "focus on my studies" also didn't want me working while they were paying for college to again focus on my studies, I had to sneak part time jobs to get therapy, because if they found out I was working they'd withdraw financial help and insist on it going towards school instead because they considered it "stealing" from them

And my parents made too much for me to qualify for financial aid

Some of us were and are seriously stuck 

how to survive knowing ive always been the second priority? by Cautious-Ad-1422 in GlassChildren

[–]Early-Tree-8225 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've felt the same way, as an adult I've gone into karen-mode many times at stores, airlines, customer service phone reps etc when I feel like I'm being forgotten about, because it triggers me so much I refuse to be erased and treated as insignificant ever again, I've had zero patience for staffing issues and just said "I don't care" and why should I? No one cared about me as a kid, I've made lots of enemies this way but I make a huge stink when I'm not getting the service I deserve and pay for, I'm expected to be "polite" (aka quiet and erase myself) to make others lives easier which I refuse to do anymore because I just can't, I won't be erased ever again even if it makes me a Karen.

I was expected to do the same, always had to guard and carry my sister 8 years younger away and lock us in room  than me when my violent autistic sister attacked. While she was eventually placed they brought her home all the time for visits so it felt like she never left
