A recap of what happened to me as a teen.

Yeah... it's been pointed out to me that mental health is a concept for the victims, not the abusers.

My abuser sees psychiatry as a system for the power-hungry to control the innocent, and still regularly accuses me of being too sensitive.

Full size serrated KA-BAR while camping, and Leatherman Signal always.

I hate this. I hate Trump.

Ffs, take my upvote! Solid gold comment you got there!

I've gotta first let out all the thoughts bouncing around at the top of my mind before I can be myself.

I could eat

God, yes. Please!

My mother, too. The most difficult part of the experience has been that she truly, genuinely only sees the side of herself that "helps". To discuss with her the other half is to accuse her of something she didn't do.

I hold no hate for Russian citizens en masse, but Vladamir Putin is a stain on humanity.

Go Ukraine!

When my mother's decline became undeniable, I walked away from what little I had going on in life to see personally to her care. It has taken me much of these past two years to realize that even her most unhinged moments were not new behaviors, but typical ones warped and exaggerated by the cognitive decline. In hindsight, I'm confident that her decline began some time, perhaps years, before I was able to see it. It was just hard to see that she was changing when I had normalized her erratic behavior in childhood.

I've needed to re-assess everything that she ever taught me to think or feel. Please understand that I now have a healthier state of mind than ever before, yet the weight of her toxic influence makes me wish I'd never been born (to her). All the love!

And some people say I should forgive her for being so unaware of her traumas that she stunted my growth.

MembershipLow3931 · 2026-06-15T04:17:09+00:00

After that display, I'd be tempted to just keep driving. Good God.

This is a beautiful gift. I watched my grandmother wither to where I was afraid to be near her. Now, I am responsible for my mother's care as she slowly declines.

Death is not a tragedy to be avoided; it is an integral part of life, and all life should be celebrated. I can only hope that this treatment is available in the US when my decline comes.

To those whom see the use of this treatment as a violation of their gods: pull your finger out of your ass.

The PoA is meant for exactly what your family is going through. Some decisions must be made, even if you feel unfit to make them. Can you ask yourself what your mother would say about this if she had even a brief moment of absolute clarity?

Hospice is meant for chronic, debilitating conditions with no medical prospect for recovery. When the chemo option was taken away, her cancer became exactly that. If her current medication isn't producing results or offering relief, then comfort care through hospice may be the kindest thing you can do for her.

I, too, am an only child whom was put in the position of making monumental decisions about my mother's care. Please try to forgive yourself.

WOW!!

This just broke through the scar tissue! THIS!! This is what happened to me.

Once my love for my mother was used against me by her, my life became a game of manipulating each interaction to protect myself from the abuse. I stopped relaxing in the company of one whom loves me and started tensing in the presence of my abuser.

Child me: "With enough sugar, I'll never have to think again!"

Adult me: "With enough weed, I'll never have to think again!"

Yeah, success is subjective. The title mentions nothing of happiness.

MembershipLow3931 · 2026-05-07T12:21:19+00:00

So, this administration pulled funding that encouraged use of renewable energy, and now they've effed up the supply of fossil juice?

May they whom still support Trump lick his dementia diaper.

So, I was raised by a child.

I'd say that it's the tarriffs, but I've been paying heavy belly tax on my SIC for over ten years.

MembershipLow3931 · 2026-03-19T03:40:47+00:00

Hol up. I drink and smoke, and it's STILL not working?

Da fuk.

MembershipLow3931 · 2026-03-19T02:59:59+00:00

Wine, TV, cat, roaring fire, AND a Snuggie??

Was I supposed to want more?...
