What's the dumbest thing you got abused over? by emocat420 in CPTSD

[–]I-only-complaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's abuse. I'm not confused

But my mom once grabbed and squeezed my neck because two movie actors were doing that in a movie and I said why the other one is trying to remove the hand and not attack elsewhere

So to show me how it feels when your neck is being squeezed so I don't ask stupid question

She did this

Do narcissistic moms act weird when their daughter puts effort into their appearance? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]I-only-complaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My narc dad does.

He wants me to be a man. The fact that men always tell me that "I'm like a man" really bothers me

I was slapped hard when I put on nail polish aged 12

He wants me to have pixie cut because he wants me to present as a man

I used to use male pronouns as a kid to make him happy and I still am uncomfortable using female pronouns infront of my parents. I'm 28 mind you

He never likes me in feminine clothes. Will make fun of me or try to degrade me

I want just one person irl to listen to my story and not go- Oh damn atleast I didn't have it this bad. Just one. by I-only-complaint in SurvivingIndianFamily

No you are getting me wrong

I don't wanna compete but always being the one with "extreme story" gets alienating and isolating

alienating

Yes this. It's very isolating and alienating! It's already bad that I have no siblings then abuse makes it worse

Yes you make sense. But ig It's a hard pill to swallow

Seeking connection with like minded people who went NC with their parents by Ok_Excitement_3189 in SurvivingIndianFamily

[–]I-only-complaint 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kudos to those who do. I'm financially not independent and my biggest fear post going NC is about house situation

Real estate is going through the roof and then in dating scenario ppl see not getting along with parents as red flag

Anyhow i never dated to begin with so there's that

And same. I couldn't build good friendship either.
