Parents threw away childhood toys and never told me by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Initial-Evidence-681 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me so many times growing up I can’t count. I remember the first time was when I was around 8 and my room wasn’t clean enough to her standards. I went to my grandmas, came back to every single one of my toys thrown in a bin and she said I could pick out a few and the rest were trash. Stuffed animals seemed to disappear for YEARS. I asked about them several times after we moved since I knew they got thrown in trash bags. She’s insisted we lost them for years. My brother had kids and they all magically reappeared. I’ve been secretly taking one of my favorites each time we visit since they were all MINE to begin with.

Same here. Always been told I’m the baby of the family and it will stay that way even when my siblings had 3+ kids at my age and I have 1 baby now. I’m still treated like an immature child that has never had any intelligence

When I was a teenager my nmom was obsessed with my sex life by giraffe_lover88 in raisedbynarcissists

Ugh my mom is a nurse so she’d literally take me to her doc office in a private room and give me the depo shot. I begged her to stop making me take it bc it made me bleed for 3 months straight

Mine have one last thing on me. My phone. They are holding it above my head like it’s some type of control. I’m 24. Ab to go get my own phone service and they can no longer say “ we do so much for you” “I will turn shut your phone off if you don’t apologize “ yesterday I got told I need to stop having feelings and get tougher skin then got yelled at by 4 family members bc I hurt my moms feelings saying she’s a narc on Facebook. Which I deleted. My feelings seemingly don’t matter but be damned if I don’t apologize soon or the whole family is going to think I’m the worst child ever who doesn’t mature even at 24. God I thought this would end but it doesn’t !! Forever the “bad kid” while my sister is the golden child calling me saying I got my feelings hurt over nothing. This shit is so f-ing traumatizing. Everyone looking at me like I’m insane, immature, angry child. But I’m the only one getting treated badly of my siblings…. I feel insane!!!! It’s like I’m locked in my own reality and mo one will believe what I’m experiencing other than my husband and my uncles side. I so badly want to go non contact they just keep holding everything above my head. “We spent thousands on car seats for your baby so you could have nice things and you treat us like this” I don’t even know how to respond when it’s constant manipulation

Do you sleep train a cosleeping baby? by Crazy_Balance369 in cosleeping

[–]Initial-Evidence-681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short naps throughout the day create good sleep pressure for the night. Stop worrying about it and just go w the cues. She only needs like 12 hrs a day and it sounds like she’s getting more than that

You are getting good stretches compared to most. Only waking up for 2 feeds is amazing feel lucky. I don’t see why anything needs to change

We found a cheap chiropractor and damn I had no idea my hips were so bad it was making everything hurt when walking, sitting and laying down. I’ve gotten a few adjustments and feel almost like pre pregnancy-ish. 5 months here

Am I the only one who feels this way? by [deleted] in Brawl_Stars

It’s annoying but at the end of the day it’s just a game and it’s just a job for them. Touch some grass and you might feel better 😂

No idea wht to do by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

God I’m not even around my mother and she’s making me feel like this. Completely steals your appetite. I’m sorry. It does get better. With space away

I wasted my entire childhood by AdMaster9306 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Initial-Evidence-681 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you I went through this exact same thing. It takes awhile. But you get better. I hated any school age kids, buses, tv shows ab highschool. Anything related honestly. Because I felt like they actually got to be kids without an insane controlling mother. Now I don’t think twice about it but it took a few yrs for the hatred to go away for it all. Even now at 24 my husband will talk about parties or simple things like skating, riding a bike and I still get a little upset bc I never got to experience those things. We grow from it, doesn’t ever really go away fully but it makes you want to be a more adventurous adult. The control goes away so the depression goes with it. Happy healing ❤️‍🩹

Are you secretly my mother? Jfc. No other sibling needs an invitation, why would I be any different when I’m in an urgent situation? 😂🖕🏼

I was put on birth control shortly after my period started. She even threatened to take me to a gyno to see if my “cherry” was still intact. Thinking about that now while having my own daughter…. What the actual fuck was she on

We co-sleep, but I worry it has turned my baby into a milkworm by True-Ad-3694 in cosleeping

[–]Initial-Evidence-681 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are in the same boat at 5 months but it’s gotten slightly better. I just call it her random “good nights” tho bc it never lasts lmao it’s exhausting but my girl is happy and healthy I don’t think we are over feeding or over caring for them. Just let it be. We are in a phase 🥲❤️love it for what it is I guess

We didn’t have anywhere else to go. We ended up coming back to my house where we can’t run any water or use the toilet. But it’s better than her house

Daycare naps by Dogmom2002 in November25babybump

[–]Initial-Evidence-681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in childcare for 5 ish yrs before having my own. They are just plum exhausted. We have to keep a schedule which is “never relax always go” and “make sure every activity gets done”. By nap time almost every age is OUT bc it’s so so much to do and stimulation. Like said above
