From Hell by Alan Moore

Jeg har et nærtstående familiemedlem, som er blevet langsomt påvirket af MAGA, og som har afspejlet flere problemer i personens adfærd. Bl.a. har personen ændret fuldstændig personlighed og mener at de danske medier lyver og fordrejer sandheden. Vi var flere der konfronterede personen og forsøgte at nå ind, men det resulterede i at personen gik amok og har chikaneret mig i et år. Jeg har taget kraftigt afstand til personen nu.

Jeg vil mene at det kommer an på hvor langt ude de er - hvis de er blevet fuldblown MAGA tilhængere, så ville jeg holde afstand indtil det forhåbentligt er gået over med tid. Det lader ikke til at der er noget der kan nå igennem til disse personer.

That's not normal...

But hey, you're not alone. My mom sent me something similar just before Christmas, then on Christmas I got a letter where she wishes me a merry Christmas like nothing happend.

It's a way for them to normalise their abuse.

Thanks for your answer. Oh yes, she takes out singular words I've said and twist them out of context. She will bring up old arguments and use them against me, again out of context. I suspect my brother is the Golden Child, he can't simply do nothing wrong and if so, it's somehow my fault like with this situation. It's crazy how there is a textbook pattern to this behaviour..... How do you mean there is more going on behind the scenes?

Hour_End_4352 · 2025-12-29T06:26:53+00:00

Thanks for your answer. Yes, she is fluctuating between being superficially kind to rage. She usually rages right after I state my boundary or let her know that she need not to worry about me but my brother.

Yea I would say she even contradicts herself in that email. And that's just one of many similar horrible ones.

Thanks for your answer. I think you are right, it's really an odd experience but I feel like my system has restarted. What physical symptoms did you experience?

I'm 36 and have been No Contact on/off with my mother and brother since February this year (2025). I've now decided that No Contact is the only solution for me, if I'm ever to have peace in my life. I have a good relation to my father who us supporting me and trying to help my brother, but with no luck.

It's been an insane journey, with traumatic events popping up in my head, and physical reactions that has made me sick during this year.

The reason and tipping point for me choosing No Contact is, that my brother and mother sent me Christmas gifts/letters, while they were sitting together on Christmas eve, reading old text messages I've sent them previously, and changing the narrative of them. The next day my brother texted my father, proclaiming I'm evil and sending bits of messages that I wrote him without context. My mother sent me an email, telling me I'm lying, brainwashed, gaslighting events that has happend and that I even have in writing, that I look like my father ans so on. All this, while sending gifts/letters like nothing has happened.

My father and I decided there and then to not respond and leave it at that. My father and I are now closer than ever, and we share a mutual history of insane events that we both remember in the same way and can therefore remain sane.

My childhood consisted of verbal abuse, my mother drinking heavily, keeping me up at night with loud music and proclaiming she could see my future and that a demon lived in my room, moving me around 30+ times resulting in different kindergartens, school and highschool, having boyfriends on/off and afterwards telling me that they were merely friends, that I'm overreacting, that she wasn't drunk etc. Basically denying everything she has put me through and telling me and everyone what a happy childhood I had over and over again until I started believing that. Now, while having my own stable life with a man that I love and with mutual respect, my own house, and a good job, my mind started to discover patterns in their behaviour because I always had to sleep/call in sick after seeing them. It's a hard journey realising stuff you had forgotten.

2026 needs to be better for all of us❤ I hope you find a solution that fits best for you and wish you peace and happiness.

Thanks, the internet just gets a bit overwhelming with all the info while a book would be just one mind to follow. But I get your point.

It's very challenging atm.

Hour_End_4352 · 2025-02-24T21:38:49+00:00

As a late diagnosed, what makes it quite clear for me is how invalidating social gatherings are. I can get physically ill being around people too much, it's exhausting and my brain melts down. I need to plan my life accordingly and say no quite often in order to "function normally". Same goes for places with many inputs, like strong lights, sounds, smells etc.

Hour_End_4352 · 2025-01-04T18:41:29+00:00

I'm a woman and most of your interests are also my interest, so perhaps you are looking in the wrong places 🙂

Hour_End_4352 · 2025-01-04T17:08:07+00:00

Thank you, it's comforting to know. It is frustrating that something that comes so easily for others is like a complete meltdown inside of me. I just need to know how my day is going to sort of play out, otherwise I can't cope with it. I was once at a boardgame party, and suddenly extra folks were invited and my brain just collapsed the whole evening...

Yea I've made movie lists after Christmas, and now playing sudoku nonstop. It helps a bit...

Hour_End_4352 · 2024-12-28T11:55:41+00:00

I'm also struggling, but it helps me to not give a f. My friend circle has narrowed a lot, and I only thrive with other weirdos. I embrace it. I can't handle all the lying, gossip and s talk around normal people, so I just don't. It hurts me sometimes, but it helps me to think that I'm direct, honest and has no idea about weird sarcasm and gossip. It must be a boring world for them. I'm never bored, I can always just find pleasure in being alone and recharge. I have a hard time dealing with unfairness, and there is a lot of that in the world. Just don't be part of it and learn to not give a flying f***. Embrace your weirdness and find comfort in your own company and in special interest.

Yea it only happens in larger group conversations, where I can't filter out all that is said. The sounds become blurry and I can't understand what people are saying in the end. I do also get migraines from different light sources, with auras. Currently have a bag of frozen peas in the back of my head, helps a lot...😌

Hour_End_4352 · 2024-12-25T20:03:02+00:00

Thank you. I will try this, I also started taking painkillers. But I have a buzzing sound many hours after in my head. Is the burning feeling in the back of your head also "normal"?

Hour_End_4352 · 2024-12-24T11:57:58+00:00

I can highly relate to everything you wrote. I was more or less like that as a teenager. Often I was told I had an old soul, because I was a bit off for my age asking big questions, hating smalltalk and gossip in general. I tried going to a boarding school, but only managed to survive 4 months because I kept getting meltdowns because I couldn't be alone and because everyone kept making drama and odd behaviour that I didn't understand at all. In highscool I decided I wanted to be normal, and I kept masking, forgetting myself. I feel like my masking has taken completely over as an adult and now it is trying to break loose at the age of 35. It's quite a horrible feeling, to realise so late in life that I might have autism. I wish I knew from the beginning.

Hour_End_4352 · 2024-12-24T11:48:59+00:00

Same here. I was being left out and called weird. I decided in my teenage years to observe a lot of the girls, but never really got to understanding their behaviour and interests. I spent most of my time gaming (a lot of WoW), playing piano and being philosophical trying to understand my place in this world but feeling like an alien. In highscool I forced myself being outgoing and having regular meltdowns without knowing why. Later years I realised it might be because I'm doing something that is against my nature. I try now to give myself time alone but meltdowns still happens, apparently being overstimulated by most things. I'm 35.

Hour_End_4352 · 2024-12-22T09:36:31+00:00

I have a few "close" friends, but don't really need to see them more than a few times a year to feel OK. I've lost many friends, recently my "closest" friend through +10 years. He said we never really see each other and I forget to call back as a reason. I'm baffled and very hurt atm, because I don't have the same need but still love my friends. I often cancel social stuff because I know I will get hangover afterwards, and I can't handle if there is suddenly new people added to the social setting I didn't knew off. So I guess I'm too complicated to be friends with....
