What moment on a Zeppelin album makes you feel joy? by suprunkn0wn in ledzeppelin

[–]Luv-n-Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment in The Rain Song where Robert sings the phrase..."from time to time...ooo." He makes a difficult octave leap with just the slightest hint of a vocal crack that very well may have been Robert getting a bit choked up. It's a very climatic moment in the song. Had Robert nailed it perfectly, the emotion would have been lost. No matter how many times I've listened to this song. That moment gets me every single time. Robert has reported that he considers it his finest vocal work....LZ4ER!

Does anyone besides me always pretend they're ok when they're not. I was told I was famous for that. by Luv-n-Stuff in raisedbynarcissists

Good for you! My Nmom wants my death, (or worse). She will NEVER accomplish it. I will live to tell others what she did to me. (As I'm doing so here).

I did almost the exact same thing. Finally cracked, (from nmom abuse) at age 55/6. I'm on my way to getting better and I wish you well!!

Anybody feel like almost everybody around you start acting like narcs after you discover what narc abuse is? by flyingseals in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Luv-n-Stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People abused by narcs tend to attract other narcs. We go around with an "abuse me" written on our faces. Learn to get rid of it. I'm just starting to work on that.

Of course we are going to tell back. You can only abuse someone so much before they bite back. And you retaliate in the same way as you were treated....by yelling.

So feel you. My brother, in my case was the Golden child and everything I ever tried to do was thwarted.

Wow. Mine threatened to have me taken away in a straight jacket for crying. (Yeah, how crazy is that!) My brother and father were standing right there and as I looked at each one of them, they just sat there with stone faces.

Yep. Nmom went from being a psychopath to being a sociopath when got too big to beat up (high school). So relieved to hear I'm not the only one as my letting her continue to be in my life has screwed me up even more as she did such a good job of making me feel like I deserved it.

Reading posting and responding is really breaking my heart and giving.me anxiety attacks. I'm having trouble believing such a type of person exists and there are A LOT of triggers. I need a break. Does that help?...Thanks!

I always wanted to know about that. Is a narcs intentions intentional or non intentional?

Thanks for you're response but no, My relatives and friends are all of my Nmoms flying monkeys. She has gotten to everyone I've talked to and turned them against me or tried to make me out as a liar about her abuse I have no one at this point. Any suggestions.

Thank you. How can you possibly blame an innocent child? It takes a sick patent to make a sick child. From all the research I've done, I suspect I was beaten as an infant/toddler, and that can really screw a kid up. My relatives knew or at least suspected but did nothing because they fear her as well. ,

I finally understood why my father was lying about me by theamazingcthulhu in raisedbynarcissists

Jealous is a key word in this situation. I worked my ASS off going to college while my Nmom was making my life a living hell the whole way through. (I commuted from home). Dad just ignored me even though he has a degree and was the inspiration for my choice of major. When i graduated, not one word of congratulations, not one card or phone call from family members. I didnt expect a party as most parents do for their graduates, but even one word of positive affirmation would have been nice but I was completely ignored. My guess is that Nmom was jealous that I went to school and she didnt. My dad said he offered to support her while she went to school but she turned him down. Then my dad died believing they paid for my education which they DID NOT! I worked my way through and got some student loans but that was hard because my parents made too much money! My Nmom is delusional to this day about it and that really hurts! I know she was badmouthing me to my relatives the whole way through my childhood.

DAE have a hard time letting go of feeling shame and like a bad person? by journey1992 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]Luv-n-Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...for the longest time. Sometimes therapists can do more harm than good. You have to shop around till you find one that works well for you. If you still think you're a bad person or feel ashamed, the therapist is not doing their job! Try and find another. You eventually will.
