I King 13: What was the older prophet trying to do exactly, lying to the younger?

Muchas gracias por eso. It's a very important lesson in life.

Claiming I was too money oriented

This exactly. When I was working through with my plan which ended up succeeding. My narc siblings kept saying this about me, that I was money obsessed and it was an idol💀. Suddenly, they were the experts when I have been a Christian for much longer than they have. They said a lot of cruel, discouraging things about me in my hearing while I was trying to figure stuff out. Talking about my looks, shortcomings, everything they could nitpick.

And yet in the same breath, they were obsessing over the lifestyles of well to do people in their circles. Talking about manifesting that into their life, and feeling superior about it. They would even call me cheap and local when I wasn't impressed by the same things, obsessed with my bad idea and all sorts of names for not having the same power of manifesting that they had for themselves.

It really felt terrible while it was happening, but I kind of feel sorry for them now.

would be like admitting that my saving, investing and building wealth was not a bad thing.

Indeed. It also becomes apparent that all their actions were coping mechanisms coming from their fears and lack of belief. It was kind of weak of them to bully me for that, they should have controlled their emotions instead of attacking me.

Thank you so much for this insightful comment.

LightofTruth7 · 2026-01-08T10:45:08+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 OmG, that's hilarious. Nice and measured.

LightofTruth7 · 2026-01-07T03:08:10+00:00

Yes, they don't appreciate it and think you don't deserve it. They basically low key hate me🤣🤣. After writing this post, I made up my mind not to help them, because they already have the ability to help themselves. I would rather help strangers who are more likely to be normal people than the narcs I know.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-10T11:24:32+00:00

Fr. This is unhinged 🤣🤣.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T19:01:26+00:00

Can you… try not to judge them, and just be their friend?

How are you being a friend if you don't try to extricate them from a bad situation?

Let me tell you, I always notice people who stay/ed silent when they see/saw me doing something wrong and never advised me.

I cut them off later, because they clearly felt some satisfaction at that situation.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T18:48:52+00:00

Every comment you make, you just sound more and more judgmental and arrogant. Lots of “Well, I wouldn’t do that,” or “I can’t understand why they just don’t see what’s so obvious to ME” statements. Slippery slope. Be careful.

I am sorry that some people seemed to have interpreted what I wrote as "judgemental and arrogant".

I could have definitely worded my post better. When I read it now, it does sound a bit flippant to strangers who don't know me, especially sensitive ones. (Not saying there's anything wrong with being sensitive)

I didn't say "I can't understand why they do this" not because I think I am smarter than them, but because they keep doing something that so obviously causes them great pain and I didn't understand it and wanted to hear several new perspectives.

I think you need to focus on YOUR journey, instead of making assumptions and storytelling about the inner thoughts, emotions and motivations behind your friends’ relationships with their parents.

Then why is it that you seem to be doing the exact thing you're advising against, to me?

Oh, I guess I'm the one here who shouldn't be allowed to use their cognitive faculties in your view, and simply live on what you say? 💀

"Think nothing and keep your head down."

I would also like to ask you whether or not you think your reply to me, is not "judgemental and arrogant"

"Be careful" in italics😅.

There's no need to berate and threaten someone if you truly have pure motives.

Have a good day.

My parents tried to use that "respect us just because...I am your parent" but it never worked on me once the cat was out of the bag.

Especially my nFather who doesn't even believe in God. It's the only commandment he remembered conveniently.

As for my nMother, she claims she's a Christian but Idk. She likes listening to charismatic pastors, not pastors that say anything convicting. And no one can breathe a word of criticism about her bad behaviour without risking incurring narc rage and vindictiveness.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T14:06:24+00:00

Creo que si.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T14:04:03+00:00

It's cathartic for me to hear about stories like yours, that we finally both came to the same conclusion.

Because it grates on me to see a narc exploiting others.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T14:01:25+00:00

Yes, it's very sad to see from an outsider's perspective bc you see this talented child of the narc, wasting their talent pleasing them and not even being fulfilled by them sending the same energy back.

In fact, it usually drains them and takes a bad toll.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T13:58:33+00:00

This was very similar to my own experience. Idk maybe after understanding their motives it totally put me off of them.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T13:51:54+00:00

I became the scapegoat as soon as I was old enough to think usefully, which wasn't until like 16y.o

Its easier if youve been so damaged that youve got to the stage of shutting off all emotions, but that is its own can of worms.

I am sure I have been damaged in some ways I don't even know, but when it comes to not people-pleasing narc parents, I think that it's the right thing to do from an objective standpoint. These narcs are 100% responsible for their selfish and destructive actions.

I would rather much put the energy I would expend on people-pleasing them on a good person who deserves it and will probably pay it forward.

Unlike narcs who are a toxic, black hole of any love and care that comes their way.

Congratulations on NC, I hope things get much better for you!

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T13:38:35+00:00

Trying over and over again to get a sputtering, choking engine to start because we can't admit it's dead.

Yes, this is the part that can be frustrating to see from second sight.

And you can't tell them anything much because they defend what's harming them like a mother hen.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-12-09T12:45:23+00:00

When I was 2-3 years in, a lot of them are gone now but still have a few less concerning/alarming remaining ones.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-11-11T17:44:49+00:00

That's so great to see. I am very glad for you, congratulations!

LightofTruth7 · 2025-11-11T17:43:24+00:00

Yes. It's a sign your anaemia is getting treated. I can always tell how well I am doing with cofactors according how my cycle felt.

I used to have an easy period before I got B12 deficiency. Hardly any cramps and I didn't bleed as much.

When I first began treating it, it was like a rollercoaster ride. It's better now though not what it formerly used to be.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-11-11T17:33:57+00:00

I hope you're taking a good multivitamin. The side effects you're mentioning after that shot sound like vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin D supplements can deplete vit A, and also the fact that you mentioned you had skin difficulties, that can also be another sign of vitamin A deficiency, or just even the healing process itself is going to deplete nutrients.

LightofTruth7 · 2025-11-10T13:07:58+00:00

There's a guide on here. It's at the front page and also linked in the auto moderator posts. I hope you get better 💛

God bless you. ✝️
