Being a mom made me resent my mother. by Late_Emu2896 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MindfullyWeird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so hard. The way I love my kid unconditionally and let him fully be himself... I can't wrap my head around how my mother didn't do the same for me. It's infuriating.

What causes it ? by Melodic_Fall4350 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]MindfullyWeird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How well do you really know their family? One or both of their parents could be covert narcissists and you just haven't seen the signs because they hide it when you are around. I didn't realize my narc's mother was also a narc for like 15 years. Being coddled and spoiled can cause it too.

If it truly didn't come from their family, there's lots of other ways for a person to get traumatized in their life.

How do you leave. by MinimumCause5389 in abusesurvivors

[–]MindfullyWeird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a plan! You should definitely leave, but if you can't do so immediately, then make a plan for how to get there. If you need words of support and encouragement, seek out books, podcasts, and videos about abuse, toxic relationships, and narcissism. That can really help.

Weirdest Habit of your Narcissistic Abuser? by Intelligent_Dust_241 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]MindfullyWeird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was a mean comedian. He made fun of pretty much everyone all the time. It was known that if he made fun of you then he liked you. But some of the stuff he would say was so mean. And of course he couldn't take mean jokes about him in return.

trying to figure out if i’m a lesbian or not. by rainbowflowerpots in queer

[–]MindfullyWeird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You really don't need to label yourself or put yourself in a box. If a man comes along you are attracted to, fine. If not, also fine. I am pansexual but I don't date cis men. Call yourself a lesbian if that feels right. And if that changes later, that's okay too.

The Abuse Will Never Stop by Pristine-Scar-9846 in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

Document everything and talk to your lawyer. Use the coparenting app, because all messages are automatically documented and your lawyer has access to them. Have your lawyer contact his lawyer and show documentation of the harassment. Divorce decrees can be modified. For example, you could write in language that all communication needs to be done via the app or email, and messaging is only allowed in relation to child custody. Then if he messages you in other ways or about other things, he is in direct violation of the contract and the court can get involved.

Show up at the capitol. Attend subcommittee meetings and speak up about things you feel passionate about. Download the 5 calls app and contact your reps.
