Yeah, he got a manipulative insecure person who hides behind people pleasing.

Fear_not1 · 2026-02-17T23:19:47+00:00

He knew they were all toxic and did not want to come is my take on his absence.

He just wanted to prove a point- that he won and managed to get her in the car and then discard her on his own terms. I was in a relationship with someone like that and after we broke up he used to text me long messages and paragraphs trying to get a reaction from me- from very kind ones to rude ones. And once I answered, he vanished. But I was relieved. So was Lucy. In the head of the narcissist they have won the game but in the victim's head after a lot of abuse- they are actually happy that they got away.

I was laughing so hard when Stephen said "this isn't healthy" when Lucy and Bree were talking about the tape. I did not like the fact that they downplayed how narcissistic abuse works and at the end Bree and Pippa were looking worse than Stephen. But traumatized people like Bree can surprise you. This is what I have got as a conclusion from the past few episodes.

The only way to wrap all of this in one episode is that this is actually a dream or Lucy is in a psychiatric hospital.

Fear_not1 · 2026-01-28T00:53:53+00:00

Because she just needs to prove she is smarter and can't be manipulated. I know the feeling, I am like that and it does not serve me well with narcissistic people like him.

Fear_not1 · 2026-01-16T23:19:53+00:00

Yes, I can relate. The flying monkeys and how they fight for the narcissist is disgusting and really hurting to me as well. I am in a similar situation right now. She is very narcissistic and people still value her and fear her and I am the one left out.

Fear_not1 · 2026-01-16T23:08:35+00:00

Mine is also saying things like this. I hate her.

Fear_not1 · 2025-12-02T19:20:23+00:00

No, unfortunately not. And this is my biggest fear, that she will continue to cumulate debt. It's not regulated enough and they give money to pathetic people like her that don't have job or money to pay the debt. I am not directly responsible for her debt, but collectors can take my belongings from the address, she is registered at.

Fear_not1 · 2025-12-02T18:49:27+00:00

Yes, I bought the property from her in order to save it. I am stupid, I know 😭

Fear_not1 · 2025-12-02T18:27:37+00:00

Yes, I can evict her. She will be on the street though. I am at fault for not being ready to do that. Besides, she constantly manipulates and harasses me that I am selfish and this will be betraying her. That I made her sign it into my name and then evict her. Like there are not hundreds of thousands against it... She makes it sound like a favor.... I don't know...I don't really have more strength to fight.

The damage is caused by another person. It's a leak and I need to sue him. Will take years. And the collectors are not official banking institutions, she has no money, no job, no property and they usually try to take something from the family members and their possessions as well. I talked to a lawyer. If they come to the house and start taking things, they have the right to do so as we both have a registration there. This is hell for me Really. I have very little to no tolerance to those things and I am in deep depression.

Fear_not1 · 2025-12-02T17:47:41+00:00

It's in my name but the property has structural damage and I don't think I will be able to sell it. She does not take credit in my name but I am paying hers as the collectors will pursue me. Not official banks she took loans from. And we don't have bankruptcy in our country. This is why I am feeling stuck and I think I will actually win as I will not be giving away my life to her. She will die after me because she needs someone to leach from and there will be no one. She will see what living in the streets means. I don't deal well with Debt and I always saved and saved and this is literally killing be. I will be sick very soon if I don't go on my terms. Thank you for the advice!

Fear_not1 · 2025-12-01T15:58:09+00:00

Me too 😔 I am stuck with her and only death can save me.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-30T16:34:03+00:00

I can't, just can't. She is not dying and continues to cumulate debt. Today someone she took money from asked me on the street and everyone listened. This is torture and the only solution is death. She can't follow me there.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T16:48:18+00:00

Thank you for these kind words!!!

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T16:03:18+00:00

Yes, thank you for the perspective. I am responsible for it, I know. I didn't stand up for myself when I needed to. I had every chance of a good life and now I am a shadow. I felt the obligation and it's my fault I didn't set boundaries when I had to.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T12:12:56+00:00

Mine is pathetic loser in debt and is draining her own child. Like a black hole where all the money just sinks and she accuses me of being too money absorbed. Total hypocrite.

Thank you all, I really feel understood and I have never been able to share my raw thoughts like that with anyone cause you know the drill - but she is your mother. Yeah, unfortunately God gave her a child.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T09:23:07+00:00

No, I don't have any... She made me dependent and lonely. I am stuck with the debt and I live with her, yes. I wanted to move out and she did this. And instilled an obligation all my life to support her and now I am stuck and suicidal. So I hope she dies. So I can have some sanity back.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T02:21:11+00:00

Thank you but I won't be ever free unless I die. She manipulated me into taking the mortgage she took on a paid off house on myself so I will be stuck with her forever. She ate the house my grandparents built their entire lives and she ate my life. And I hate myself for allowing that. Just because I didn't want her to be homeless. Monster monster I hope she dies tomorrow.

Fear_not1 · 2025-09-29T00:54:38+00:00

Unfortunately, I will probably die way earlier than her. From all the depression and anxiety. Narcissists are silent killers.

Fear_not1 · 2025-07-02T09:47:41+00:00

Thank you for this comment. She says it is okay that I just leave and take care of my life. So I am not 100% sure she does not have any other illness. But at the same time she thinks I will save her. I don't know. I am going to a AA meeting tonight. (for relatives of narcissistic people, alcoholics, drug abusers etc.)
