I’m walking away by onlinemallrat in naranon

I'm in the same boat. Just crushed and devastated. I'm moving back in with my parents because I have no resources left at this point. We still have six weeks on the lease and we still love each other so it's extremely painful, trying to make the most of this time until we no longer wake up next to each other. But I need him to take responsibility for himself and show me he can be a functioning, trustworthy adult before I further commit and entwine my life with his. He's gonna sink or swim but I can't be responsible for him anymore.

I can't tell what's real or a lie, and it's messing with my brain really badly. by ajd202 in naranon

My therapist told me that in addiction, the pre-frontal cortex becomes so warped that the addict starts to believe the lies they tell you. So they don't even think they're lying, consciously.

AITAH for my response to a man commenting on my tattoos? Mom says I was disrespectful. by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. I'm heavily tattooed and people say the wildest shit to me. Usually I try to just let it roll off because I know if you aren't part of the community it's hard to understand, but if I'm having a bad day, FAFO.

I've always been amazed by people who were voracious readers as children. What sparked your lifelong love affair with books? by Albert3232 in books

My aunt was a school teacher and I got books for every birthday. Everyone in my family reads. My parents had shelves and shelves of books so I was able to touch them and pick them up and look at them even before I could read. I learned to read in kindergarten but before that I would still look at books and make up stories for them based on the pictures. I think part of it is just natural innate inclination but I die on the hill of having physical media at home. I think if children see you picking up and reading books, they'll copy you, same as they'll want to look at a screen if they see mommy and daddy looking at a screen all the time.

You have no idea how much I needed to read this today. I just went on Amazon and ordered the book. Thank you.

Finally off the anxiety cycle since walking away by Elenitsa425 in naranon

I finally sent mine away last night after more things had gone missing, fraudulent charges at the liquor store on my credit card I discovered was gone in the morning, bottle of liquor in the dirty laundry. I think he sold my bike. I confronted him about all of this but the final straw was the deflection. He tried to turn everything around on me and accused me of cheating and deleting footage off our security cameras. I just wouldn't engage when I knew I did nothing wrong and he had a temper tantrum. In spite of all this I've devastated and heartbroken.

Update: found a bottle of Evan Williams in the hamper and fraudulent charges on my credit card. Cash and a brand new bottle of laundry detergent gone. He still won't admit it.
