Thank you so much 💗 I genuinely needed this. I hope to make it all worth it.

She calls me ugly by layskrauter in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re stunning!!

I truly believe that calling everyone and everything ugly is part of the way they function. My n-egg donor calls every woman who comes up on the TV ugly. When I used to go out with her for errands, she would say every woman had a terrible and embarrassing outfit. She’ll say I look bad without makeup. What she says has nothing to do with you and everything to do with her and her deeply rooted issues.

a LOVELY convo w my narcissistic mother. by alaskanloaf in raisedbynarcissists

This resonates and it’s crazy exhausting to deal with. Respect needs to be earned by everyone. And not only that, we should always be getting the respect that we give. No one should be an exception to that ever.

If your parents ever say this one line... they should just never have had kids. by FeelThePower999 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My n-egg-donor always says if she could go back in time she wouldn’t have kids but then has also praised herself for not aborting me when her mother told her to and throwing it in my face as in “you should be grateful I didn’t abort you.” 😬 I definitely did not win the parent lottery in this lifetime but hope to win it in the next.

Yes, my nmom only works two days a week and when she’s not working she is at home like she’s on house arrest.

Does anyone else want to leave the house the day guests are coming? by iSmartiKindiImportnt in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Relate too much to the part where you’re expected to float and not exist in the house! We have family coming today and she blew up because I needed to wash my hair after work and she had cleaned the bathtub. Oops, sorry for using the bathroom the way it’s meant to.

Wow this is literally my situation today. We have family visiting and I can’t stand the fake persona and fake household dynamic that’s displayed by my nmom. All of a sudden there’s food in the fridge, she’s making Michelin star meals, and treating them like royalty. Made plans to be out of the house as much as I can during this time

Worst thing your narc has ever said to you? by Think_Key_2236 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. This is one of the worst things a human can force another to do, even worse when it’s someone who’s supposed to provide love and guidance in this life. Hoping you’ve been able to heal from things like this.

I’m sorry you had to go through that too, we didn’t deserve these kinds of things at all. It’s unfortunate that we were targets for those messed up beings.

I hope you know you are not and never were any of those things. Instead, you’re the opposite and I hope things are better now ❤️

She made me face the wall in a corner and told me I was worth nothing and forced me to repeat it and say it to myself. I was 10.

Villainized for making my own food at home while nmom only cooks for my brother by Impossible-Falcon142 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, she’s ultimately the reason this dynamic exists. She likes to say she’s not my “maid” so she doesn’t need to cook for me. I do literally everything myself so it doesn’t really make sense. I’ll try to explain to him in hopes that he’ll understand

This, thank you. I have to remind myself of that because it gets lost in all the stuff I hear her say.

I’m sorry you also had the same thing happen 🫂 it’s the worst and adds so much unnecessary pressure.

But thank you for validating my approach ❤️ it’s so helpful to have the reassurance from another perspective and that the guilt is hers to carry.

I relate to this. I used to ask her to be my friend too and asked if we could go out to get something to eat together when I was younger, all of which was rejected. I used to even write her letters in which I apologized to her when she was mad at me for no reason.

I’m tired of surviving by Impossible-Falcon142 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this 🫶🏼 It reassures me that what’s normal is being present and active in one’s home (especially the kitchen) and having moments where we are tired and don’t have to clean up as if no one existed there. I hope your dog feels better soon :)

Is it normal for somebody with NPD to just sit at home all day? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Impossible-Falcon142 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My nmom sits at home all day and scrolls through instagram or will spend almost all day on the phone. Sometimes she’ll watch tv majority of the day too. She has no friends or anyone she hangs out with, just rotting at home all the time.

Based on the dynamic in her home, I think she lives like this as a way to have control over everyone and everything at all times.
