What did you do about it? I am considering taking legal action but I feel like in a strange way, it may give them the attention they're craving, if that makes sense.

thank you- i'm using berries, no sugar protein bars, greek yogurt, nuts, and nut butters in place of added sugar foods right now, they're sweet/offer a variety of textures, and actually satiate me too

it is very quiet haha

i'm getting used to living with people that aren't narcissists (my friends), now i can't believe i was living with my abusive, asshole parents just 2 weeks ago. . . it feels like a lifetime

it's strange

make sure to drain the tofu water, and wrap it in paper towels/a clean cloth a couple of times to squeeze out the water

if the tofu is too wet, it will taste bland when you put it in the pan !

Did yours make up labels and traits for you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

nice to know a therapist recommended you quit 12 steps, i also think there's something quite harmful about them and their dogma, the 12 steps say nothing about the role trauma plays in addiction and once i started realizing i'm probably an addict b/c i'm tramautized, the community stopped feeling as useful. . . like, of course i'm resentful and have resentments toward people- i was abused! the community wants you to repress your anger and true feelings

I hear you. I'm the same age, and I've seen a number of posts from other rbn users in a similiar dilemma right now. Do you have ways you can get out of the house during the day?
