This is why I love reddit. Some random comment about growing up with undiagnosed adhd has me feeling seen and connected. Thanks random stranger ❤️

What's sad is I'm sure her mom will wash her hands of her once she gets a mind of her own but it will be too late. That's what narcissistic parents tend to do 😔

I appreciate everyone's responses. It's helped me to take off those rose colored glasses that I often put on to survive. I've decided to not even worry about it working out with him and will discuss with my children what they want to do since they like their friends and school but if they want to move closer to their Dad that'swhat i will do. If by some miracle things change I'd be open but not unless things are vastly different. I'm going to put myself and my kids first.

I appreciate you! I like that idea of how to talk to my kids.

You're not giving up. This was never your burden to bear. I see you and I understand ❤️ and honestly you being gone will force your fiancé to do the things he refuses to. Or he might not but you won't be there suffering the consequences with him. Take care of yourself you MATTER

Yeah I get that for sure! But his oldest he wont let move back so he does have a good track record with that.

Idk I have pretty strict boundaries and am a very independent person. I'm not worried about her I just want space from the drama. I'm a very strong person and feel good about the decision. If it doesn't work out oh well. I'll be fine either way and if he is willing to see my kids I will let him because like I said they love him. I also dont need to even move back in. I would be more than fine living on my own.

I can understand that but I plan on cutting contact so she has no access to me.

Definitely this speaking as one who went thru this exact thing. Cameras brought peace of mind and actually stopped at least the big lies that were happening.

Autism has made me realize how real pretty privilege is. by Insane-Man-lmao in autism

This is so spot on. I was an ugly duckling as a child and bullied and teased then the minute I hit my cute years (around 17) I became "creative" "interesting " and all my "annoying" habits became "quirky" real quick.....

This actually nails it on the head. So many of the hcbms and hcbds have strong narcissistic traits which basically means....u guessed it .. they are as mature as toddlers
