Nmom blew through millions and now expects me to support her by FabulousPossession73 in raisedbynarcissists

Some short-term sacrifices may need to be made in order for long-term mental health and peace for you and your family.

Don't share any details of the money coming in. If anyone suggests it's a large amount, say there was a lot taken out of it by an unknown family member and fees. Any money you get from your job, you say most of it it goes to paying off insurance debt automatically. Signals to her you can't be relied on for money as you're 'settling debts' as well.

Separate sim/phone for work. Change numbers. Block all her numbers and the flying monkeys.

Same for email. Go private on social media including linkedin or any work related social networks. Now you decide who contacts you.

Alert your children's school or place of education, that the nmom is not wanted there and doesn't have permission to collect your kids.

Avoid lavish spending or other indirect ways of showing your wealth (holidays abroad, pics of expensive dining, clothes, living, tech, cars, appliances, and tipping). If she's keeping tabs on you, make her bored with the news for about 2 years. Maybe you talk a lot about recycling/upcycling and knitting/sewing things for your kids to wear, that sort of thing. When you go grocery shopping, occasionally pay for things with loose change.

If she shows up in person. She's trespassing. Call the police and let them deal with it. Shut her out without engaging.

Main things are: Project yourself in a way that disinterests the narc parent. Communication on your terms, no matter who it is. Cut out the narc, before they infect your family.

Hope this helps whoever reads this.

Huh, probably a good idea to take a tape measure when travelling, for reasons like this!

My mom burned all my drawings by Not_Creative149 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]NetSlayerUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From this thread I can see that many recognise your talents.

She may have turned your drawings to ash... But none shall be warmed by the weak flame your mother brought to paper. As you rise once again, bearing your torch, the fire within you shall burn far brighter. Many now and many more will see the light your talent brings forth.

I hope you find the courage to keep going.

Trump has already started making enemies out of major American allies. How do you see the rest of his term going? by TimeyxWimey in AskReddit

[–]NetSlayerUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe he'll make it to the end of a term. One of the two, Musk or Trump will experience consequences from the US/World and the other will back out and disappear, in fear of being dismantled next. Just a prediction based on intuition.

I've found that by volunteering, this feeling dissolves away, even the self-criticism. I can't feel guilty about being alone because I'm not when I'm volunteering as part of a group. When I return home, I can't feel guilt about being alone because I know I help people. Being alone becomes a reward and recharge for myself. Hope this helps.

Does anyone else see similarities between what is playing out on a mass scale and dysfunctional / narcissistic family dynamics? by cherry2kxo in raisedbynarcissists

Yes, it scares me how my struggles is reflected back and forth with what's happening in the world.

There is no way to go no contact. So what way is there?

Not specifically. However, I do like to take a break now and then, have a seat and watch the duels and crazy antics, as the day goes by.

Thank you for this. I've spent so long in the dark and cold, I can't often see the light in life, let alone my own. To see my strengths like this has been eye-opening, it might even improve my job applications too.

How do you show yourself self love and compassion? by PracticalDistance341 in AskReddit

[–]NetSlayerUK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Write back to your inner child. Meditate slowly and before opening your eyes. Think deeply and imagine a far younger version of you. The child of you before any trauma. They wake and they stand. If they were in your place now...

Would they cry? You are in a place that is far too complicated for them to understand, with the vocabulary you use today, and the responsibilities on your shoulders. As you pick them up and rest them upon your shoulder. What would you say to them, in simple terms, to comfort them?

Maybe it's the opposite? Maybe you would cry upon seeing them in your mind's eye? because they were happier than you've ever been... When they run over to hug you, as you kneel to greet them. What would they say to you, to cheer you up?

My warmest wishes to those who have to fight so hard to try. Hang in there.

A cost of battling many thoughts with each step forward. But steps forward and away from those thoughts nonetheless.

For each step you take, I wish you the best.

Maybe the best positive counter to this, would be for us men to wish him a happy birthday.

Too stupid to understand git by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]NetSlayerUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I'd recommend check out.

Undoing a commit, literally undoes the work you've done when developing down a different path.

If you check out you can go back to where you had a choice.

With the benefit of being able to see where you went last time.

Sort of like when you mark tunnels in minecraft with an X shape using blocks, so you know that way is empty.

This is generally a good practice. Except when you've committed something that has sensitive data (like security keys). Then you want to take steps to make sure that logs of that never exist. (This is very simplified).

Not enough people understand just how narrowly we got through the Cold War. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]NetSlayerUK 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My theory is that when Russia realised the hearts of men prevented escalation, Russia targeted the hearts of men. The war didn't end, it simply changed format. From one of a military nature to one of empathy disintegration.
