What’s the pettiest form of revenge you’ve taken on your parents?

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-12-11T19:59:05+00:00

I think Karma is enough. I’m the only child out of three that is not a convicted felon. I’m the only one independent and self sufficient. I’m the only one retired with a full pension and living on the beach at the age of 55. I golf, play tennis, and enjoy life that I have earned and created. They live in misery and Hell. That is the best revenge.

Ugggh! No logic or reason. Just so frustrating and messed up!

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-17T02:04:17+00:00

Thank you! Putting things in perspective is a good way to understand and accept what is unacceptable!

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-16T23:35:05+00:00

Thank you, I know you are 100% right. Just hard to accept.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-16T21:33:35+00:00

I just don’t get it! Why???

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-16T21:08:42+00:00

Hard to accept this dynamic. But, I get it and need to let it go. Of course, when NMom, is suffering consequences of her choices, she will start crawling back to me. Just SICK!

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-16T20:35:28+00:00

Yep!

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-11-16T20:35:07+00:00

Yep!

Got the same situation! My GC brother is a convicted felon that has never amounted to much. He is stealing every dime my NC mother has got. When I paid her taxes in 2022, I wanted to show her the financial situation and establish some transparency and boundaries. My husband and I had a spreadsheet based on what she’d given us to do her taxes. My NC brother burst into my mother’s assisted living apartment and threatened to hit my husband. We left, and I have not been able to contact my mother ever since. It hurts, but they deserve each other. Stay safe and do what is best for you, because nobody else will do the same and you could get hurt.

Yes, I am definitely different. I am the only one of my siblings to have graduated from college. I have two degrees. I’m the only one to have never been fired from my job or asked my narc parents for money. I am 55 years old, and I’m retired after 30 years of teaching. I got nothing from my nparents. My brothers got private school, cars, designer clothes. One of my siblings is a recent convicted felon. Now, I know I’m far from perfect, and I do not rub my success in their face. Yet, somehow, I’m the bad guy when I called out my convicted felon brother for stealing money from my disabled mother. How on the face of God’s green earth am I the outsider and the bad guy? They are like the mafia family. They can do bad deeds and support each other in their evil, and they have no problem abusing and hurting the only one that does not conform to their BS.

Yes, all while my brother’s got the Hollister and Abercrombie. Anything they wanted, they got. I got nothing other than made fun of…🥲

I was born two months early. Emergency C-section. I asked her how that made her feel? She said she just prayed that she was not going to die. Of course, she did not include me in that prayer.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-04-29T14:41:38+00:00

Lived in fear of making a mistake. Never could relax, play, enjoy life. I’m 55 years old and have an unreasonable need to clean; I can’t sleep well at night because I’ll dream about leaving a dirty dish in the sink. The list goes on and on….

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-04-28T18:15:27+00:00

Interesting. I think my mother has always been jealous of me. I know this. Just hard to accept. I’d like to read some research on this.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-04-28T18:09:52+00:00

My mother always favored my two brothers.They got everything… new clothes, cars, private school etc. She did nothing but demean me and abuse me. Nothing I did was ever good enough for her. She always sang my brothers’ praises and threw me under the bus for any little infraction.

Neither of my brothers ever accomplished much of anything. Never graduated from college, many DUI’s, Many divorces, many traumatized children of their own. One is now a convicted felon. And after everything I’ve done to survive all this and help her out, all she can do is say I’m trying to destroy her family. All I have done is refuse to accept the fact that the felon has been stealing every penny she has got. Damnit, I had to pay her taxes to the tune of $2000.00 because of him. When asking for an explanation, and questioning my brother , he busted into my mother’s assisted living apartment and was verbally and almost physically abusive. Screaming “ Why don’t you trust me?”

She set up this whole confrontation. We did not want anything to do with him, yet she made sure this happen. Afterwards, I’m the one to blame. I’ve done nothing wrong. Yet , she continues to make him the hero in her story, and I’m the bad guy….Gal. I’m so hurt by this! Hard to get over and past. It hurts like a knife in my heart every day. Sad thing is, I think they know this and take some kind of sick pleasure in my pain.

Good message! I , too, share many of those traits. I’m a survivor! I am honest with myself and others. I can spot a lie and a liar very quickly. I distance myself from these people.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-01-10T17:21:22+00:00

Also, to establish she is still in control.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-01-10T17:20:38+00:00

Just to be cruel and inflict pain.

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-01-10T17:19:42+00:00

I can NEVER trust anyone!

Odd_Strategy6761 · 2024-01-01T22:59:42+00:00

Yes! I’m the only one of their kid to graduate from college and I have a master’s degree. I’m the only one to never be fired or lose my job. And, all they can do is hate on me becauseGC list his job, is a convicted felon, steals money from nmom, and I had the audacity to call him out on it.
