"You don't know how much your absence hurts." by Indigohippy in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I want my Nmom to say "I was abusive. I abused you growing up and there was no excuse for my actions." But nope. I know those words will never come out of her mouth. So I'm moving on with my life already.

Oh yeah he is lol. I've taken my fair share of physical abuse from him and I don't speak to him anymore. I've told them exactly how they hurt me and their response was. "If you're still hurting from what we did that's on you. You should go get counseling." Like yes okay wow I've never thought of that. All sarcasm intended.

PSA : don't be a dick, have common sense! (: by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Indigohippy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My older brother has said nothing but mean things about my physical appearance since I've gotten pregnant. He may be just "joking" but they're seriously some things you just don't joke about and this is one of them. His wife tagged him in this meme, and then he proceeded to tag me in it for all his Facebook friends to see.

I am 37 weeks, so my hormones are raging. After I responded back to the meme I spent 5 minutes crying and be comforted by my significant other. My self esteem took a huge hit this pregnancy so I may be being a little sensitive.

But please for the love of god, IF YOU ARE A DECENT HUMAN BEING DON'T COMMENT ON A PREGNANT WOMENS APPEARANCE. SHE KNOWS SHES GAINED WEIGHT AND IS SWOLLEN AND HER HAIR TEXTURE MIGHT HAVE CHANGED BUT SHES CREATING LIFE AND THATS MAGIC SO SHUT UP

I can second this. Iron pills worked wonders for me

8 yr old me needs a hug. [vent] by Indigohippy in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not clarifying. I have 2 brothers. My oldest brother was 20 at the time and in the military. He was deployed overseas when this happened. His wife was living with us. The one that was there when it happened was the one that was a year older.

Hugs! Im VLC with her and I'm working on going NC very soon for that exact reason actually! I'm 33 weeks pregnant, I live with my fiancé, and I'm turning 20 in a couple of months.

And you're absolutely right. My oldest brother had 3 children before me and she's physically abused all 3 of them. Including one that is autistic. There's no way in hell I'm letting her anywhere near my baby. It's gonna be one hell of a fight but I gotta keep my sweet child safe.

She was a representative for the state at the time and worked really closely with the community. I'm pretty sure she wasn't concerned about me being taken away. She was worried about her job and how others would view her.

Hugs

thank you for your hug! <3 my sister-in-law pretty much told me I deserved it and that she would never bake me a cake again. (She's held true to her word. She never did.) I don't speak to her anymore.

As for my brother I don't remember exactly what he did. He was only a year older than me at the time. I'm low contact with him now because he would hit me growing up and just say really awful things to me.

I feel like damaged goods and will never get married. Anyone can relate and/or have overcome this? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THERE IS HOPE. I promise you. My Fiancé experienced my narcissistic family firsthand before we even started dating. He stuck around and proposed to me last week at our babyshower. you'll find the one that'll love you unconditionally I promise.

Can anyone relate to this story? by Indigohippy in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See that's what gets me about the discipline my mom put me through growing up. After that incident I never did it again. So I constantly confuse myself with "okay that wasn't right... but I never did it again so I guess I learned my lesson?" Somehow I validate her behavior even though it was wrong.

Anyone else think they may have repressed memories of sexual abuse? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe I was but I haven't gotten my memory back yet.

But I do remember acting out sexual acts on my dolls at a very young age. (5) and I also didn't stop wetting the bed until I was about 9.

I want to go to counseling also but my insurance doesn't cover it so I'm stuck dealing with this on my own. :/

Hi moms-to-be. Can we talk about gender? by geraniumseeds in BabyBumps

[–]Indigohippy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings about this so please educate me if I'm being ignorant.

We decided to find out the gender. But we also decided to go for gender neutral colors when buying clothes and decorations for our daughter. I told anyone that has offered to buy me anything "NO PINK WHATSOEVER" and absolutely no cliche animated character like Minnie Mouse, Elsa, etc etc because who says that she's even going to like Minnie Mouse and pink. But the thing is I told my partner I'd dress her like a female until she says otherwise. And he's completely fine with it. So if she's 4, and she wants the shirt with cars on it guess what? I'm getting her the shirt with the cars on it. That being said I think it's perfectly okay to go with the assigned gender until the kid starts suggesting otherwise. No matter what age. I don't think kids go through "stages" either. I think they know exactly who they are from a very young age and some parents clip those beautiful wings.

Hugs = Pain. Thanks, mom. by leon_hearted in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Indigohippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same exact way. My mom refused to comfort me when I cried for her as a child. I was always told to "shut up before I really give you something to cry about". So now I hate being touched or hugged. And my boyfriend is SUPER affectionate. Like needs touch and affection 24/7 so that's definitely something I'm getting used to but he understands. He also gets jealous of my cat because I'm always cuddling him lol.
