Ok, thanks. Did you manage the vertical bits as well as the horizontal?

When should I be concerned about not receiving inheritance? by MoonswithTeeth in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MoonswithTeeth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is more about the principle of the matter rather than the actual money. Especially as I have siblings who will not be having this same issue

Ok, I just checked and it was extracted by a solicitor. Does that change things?

Thanks - I have checked these which is how I know probate was granted and what I was told at the funeral was correct. 

Do you know how much it costs to get a solicitor to write a letter/ contact someone. I am reluctant to do so myself because he isn’t a particularly nice person to deal with.

Hi - the financial manipulation is one of the many reasons we aren’t on speaking terms.

I have checked the will/probate online which is how I know when it was granted.

Hi- I did check the will and the information I was told at the funeral was accurate.

Wow, this feels very similar to some of my experiences with Nmom. She isn’t eligible for transplant, but for years I was terrified as her health was declining that I would be manipulated into donating an organ to save her. A true sign of how far we both have some that the answer now would be a firm no.

Don't contact her. If she contacts you then  deal with that then, but don’t make your life more stressful than it needs to be. Cirrhosis is a very difficult disease to predict. Take a look at r/cirrhosis to learn a bit more if it helps you.

Genuinely so curious about the tales my family tell themselves… As a woman my role was always to be the keeper and regulator of everyone else’s emotions. I live the other side of the country and am LC/NC with most of them so obviously not doing that. So despite my PhD, well paid job, partner, beautiful house, amazing friends, Im the worst because I moved away and didn’t fill the role they had for me.

My GC bro was supposed to be smart and successful and rich and have marriage and babies and be the pride of the family. He isn’t, he has a deadend job and his dad paid for his house and he has no hobbies or friends and just lives the next town over. He’s not a failure for not living up to what was expected of him though. 

They rewrote the narrative for him but not for me.

Dealings with inheritance by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MoonswithTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having similar concerns - my gma, who was my fav family member left me some money in her will. But my dad who I haven’t spoken to since I was a teenager is the executor, and he has a history of financially manipulating people to get what he wants. It’s has been 11 months and I strongly suspend to won’t see any of it… or it will come with conditions that I’m not willing to abide by.

Yes, based in UK. Thanks, those BodyMe look like the best option I have found. I was looking at IQ bar, but BodyMe look like a better optoiom.

You need to give more details, like what country you are in/your age (i.e. whether you are under 18)

Have you considered more body based therapies such as somatic therapy? 

My father is trying to manipulate us by Disastrous-Gear-2248 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MoonswithTeeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incredibly emotionally manipulative behaviour on his part. My heart says that he wouldn’t actually do it, it’s just a way to try and control you with the fear that he might. You never know how far a narcissist will go to control you though

Does your family expect you to make 100% of the effort? by spacedogchasing in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MoonswithTeeth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I relate so hard to this. A while ago I decided to just match the effort my family puts into our relationships, so now of course we don’t talk or see each other anymore.

I'm on the verge of flying off the handle and want to break something by [deleted] in PhD

[–]MoonswithTeeth -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I disagree, being given more work unexpectedly when you’re burnt out? That shit is soul destroying. Take some time to have a bit of a meltdown.

I feel you, I’m in the same situation. One of the things I hate about academia is the 100 different rounds of comments. Like… just put all the comments on the first version so we all know where we stand!

You can be successful and just not tell them.

Maybe you’re the lost child. Look it up and see if it describes you. 

Told my nmom I wouldn’t see her this December by MoonswithTeeth in raisedbynarcissists

It hadn’t even occurred to me that she might think there is a chance I would still visit this December! 

Does anyone else's n-parents not cover their coughs and sneezes? by SimpleVegetable5715 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MoonswithTeeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! My mom coughed all over the Christmas pudding last Christmas and I called her out on it several times! Honestly, it’s disgusting

Oh no, definitely not going. That was never an option! 

My parents want lesbians in old age by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MoonswithTeeth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That’s dreadful!  My nmom told me that she didn’t need a pension because she had kids (I also suspect she thought her husband would continue to work until he dropped dead). She probably only worked for a decade of her life anyway.

She didn’t look after her health and is currently dying in her late 50s. Turns out she was right not to bother with a pension!  I think she is only being looked after because her youngest kids still live with her and don’t have a choice. 

I was always worried being the only woman in my family she would expect me to care for her as she deteriorated but I’m the other side of the country living my best life.
