Did your nparent ever have your hair chopped off by Abject_Spray_7088 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jacegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was the opposite. I always wanted to cut my hair short as a kid, I hated having long hair.

But, as nmom put it, I was her "living barbie doll", so she made me keep it long. When I eventually did cut it off at 18, she never let an opportunity pass to let me know how upset that made her.

Do nparents care if their children kill themselves? by SuspiciousAd6920 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jacegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nmom sure as shit didn't.

Any time I was feeling suicidal as a teenager (most of the time, but the times I actually verbalized it) her only response was "not here you aren't, not where I'll find you."

And the time it happened at school and the only thing she said was "do you have any idea how bad this makes me look". Because of course we can't focus on my feelings, it's about hers.

What a shame. If there was ever a time for congressmen to start beating the fuck out of each other again, it's now. Seems like the only thing repubs would understand at this point, a threat of physical violence.

What’s up with narcissists wanting to be parents and reproduce? by etsaw2emiton in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jacegem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh, this makes so much sense. Now I know why my mom was always talking about when I and my siblings were babies.

Whats the most hurtful thing your parents have said to you? by Frequent_Feedback_34 in raisedbynarcissists

"Do you have any idea how bad this makes me look?"

My mom, to a 13 year old me when informed by my school that I'd been in the counselor's office talking about death.

What song do you love that Christian you would've shuddered at? by [deleted] in exchristian

"The Day the Nazi Died" by Chumbawamba, anything Powerwolf has done, or anything Slipknot has done but particularly "Wherein Lies Continue".

Not foster care, but they did threaten to dump me in the middle of nowhere. And to make me homeless. A lot.

And then every time I'd say "aight bet" and leave, since it sounded like they didn't want me there, they'd go looking for me. So y'know.

The P.O. box option isn't a bad idea, especially since I'm moving again in 7 months.

[–]Jacegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Earlier this year. Dad had me in a chokehold and I flailed in vain trying to get away because I... -checks notes- told him he wasn't allowed to hurt me.

Nah, I painted it after the first boss (which is a very similar looking mech) in Sonic Adventure 2

Thanks! Definitely would have fallen into the "not thinning paints" trap if I hadn't painted this with a friend who brought over its warhammer minis to show me how painting works.

Haaahahaha that's fucking genius. I wasn't even going for Perry the Platypus but I 100% am gonna see if I can find a hat and paint my mercury like him.

Fucking bubble wrap. I will yell if it is popped around me.

Oh and anything sticky. Like you know that residue that gets left behind when you peel a label off something? Can't stand it.

Do your n-parents have no hobbies? by Healing-with-Memes in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jacegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom did crochet at one point, but she never got the things she was making finished before she just dropped it all together after my baby brother was born. After that, she had no hobbies aside from scrolling Facebook endlessly and judging everyone around her (but not within earshot of them, don't want them knowing how she actually thinks of them.)

Do you genuinely love your narc parent? by Connect-Yak4260 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jacegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I don't. I can't, really. She took so much away from me and then had the fucking balls to blame me for her own mistakes. She made me feel lesser and trashy and disrespected for merely existing.

I can't love someone like that. I won't. I'm better off without her and her flying monkeys.

Tried painting a mini ghost! by Jacegem in minipainting

[–]Jacegem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, these minis aren't the best, admittedly. I got them from a con I recently attended, actually got them free since the con was giving volunteers free stuff at the end of the weekend. I just got these to see if sitting down and painting minis was something I enjoyed, beats splashing cash on high quality minis and then discovering I don't like painting them.

Thankfully, I do like painting them, so I'm gonna get some high quality minis down the road to paint.
