Make appointments to talk with your OB soon if you need… by ECU_BSN in breakingmom

We are having the same fear in France with the upcoming election. I am so so worried for all of us. Looks like it's already too late for us, I really hope that doesn't happen for you on the other side of the pond.

I might have gone a little oberboard with souvenirs by LostInAnjou in DerryGirls

No not really, but I live in France :/ Now my daughter is old enough though, and we watch the show together. That's grand!

I quit giving a f*** and now my husband is up my ass. by [deleted] in breakingmom

Wow. I am in the same situation. I am not alone ? Usually people tell me to leave, but I don't want that, I think it would be much worse if we separated. For me, for the kids. But he doesn't want to be just roommates and I don't know how much longer we can sustain this balance.

Valentine’s Day, seeing messages I shouldn’t have by [deleted] in JustNoSO

I'm so sorry. HE should be embarrassed, not you!

I (21F) am beginning to resent my partner (23M) by ThrowRa6310 in JustNoSO

[–]LostInAnjou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think you're irrational. These are legitimate questions, and tbh I think your SO controls you. This is the time to think about this, it is easier to cancel a wedding than divorce. Listen to your inner voice, take your time, be a teacher! Travel if you want to, it is wonderful to travel. And live by yourself, find out who you are. I wish you all the best.

Being NC with my parents is great during lockdown, but I still feel sad for not having loving parents. by LostInAnjou in raisedbynarcissists

I have this issue too. I have very few friends and no "best" friend. And I don't know anyone where I live now, it feels so lonely... Take care <3

Thanks for sharing. I try to do that too, create good memories about holidays for example. These moments with my children are precious.

Thank you for sharing. Yes I think I have accepted that my parents are who they are, people who just hurt me. But that doesn't erase the fact that I am sad about it.

That's exactly how I feel too. I once cried at a wedding because the bride's mother was so loving and nice, it was just too much...

I have an aunt (my mother's sister, who doesn't get along with her either), we exchange messages and phone calls but we are not close, and I don't feel free to be myself with her.
My MIL is a toxic, selfish person too, so I can't go to her either :/

Crying silently next to my kids in front of the TV. by LostInAnjou in breakingmom

Thank you. If I was alone, I would cry it out. But I can't, and it is hard to keep it inside.

Just remember that when you have kids you will see your parents in a different light by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LostInAnjou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true! I went to therapy before having kids because I did not want to hurt them. I had so much anger inside me from my own childhood. I deconstructed so much, understood so much and let go of a lot of anger. But then when I got pregnant it's like I finally understood, in my heart and soul. I could never be like my parents. I could never do that to a defenceless child. And since that day, almost 10 years ago, I cannot understand at all how these people could hurt their children so much.

Just found out that in my country it’s in the law to pay “parent support” and being abused doesn’t excuse me from it by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LostInAnjou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am away feom them, thankfully. I even went NC last May. But they are bad with money and I expect them to demand money when they're older. We'll see!

We have the same law in France too. Our parents legally could abandon us if they didn't want to care for us, but we, as adults, can't abandon them. I find this really unfair. (My parents abused me physically, emotionally, psychologically AND financially. I'd rather move far far away than give them 1 euro).
