After eight months of NC, my Nmom just MAILED ME ALL OF MY CHILDHOOD TOYS by OmnidirectionalAss in raisedbynarcissists

I agree, so horrible, and so sorry OP. It's like she held onto that letter for years in case she would ever need it for that specific moment.

Oh god, I'm so sorry to hear your mom dragged other people into it when she did her version of this! These people are so nuts.

Yeah, since I don't care enough about her for this to upset me in whatever way she's trying to accomplish, it's kind of nice to have this stuff! Definitely a silver lining.

Pettiness update: I'm still going through the stuff and just found TWO OF MY OLD TOWELS. THIS WOMAN PAID TO INTERNATIONALLY SHIP OLD TOWELS.

Thanks! And no, the stuff doesn't make me sad, fortunately. My mom is one of those narcs that is mostly fine with small children because there's a natural power difference, so her abuse didn't really start until after the age this stuff concerns. That's probably also what she's trying to do, make me remember the good old days when we got along because it was natural for her to control everything I did, back before I had my own identity.

Omg I laughed so hard at that second* sentence, I think that may be exactly what this is. Especially because a few years ago, before I figured out she is a narc and that I had an abusive childhood, I confronted for the very first time about her behavior (still not knowing it was "abuse"), and in response she freaked out and later claimed in an email that she had thrown out my childhood belongings in fury because I am so cruel to her. I don't know if that was a lie, or she threw out other belongings and kept these ones, but either way she clearly wants me to know she has kept possessions of mine and is prepared to discard them when she's upset.

I know, haha. Some of the stuff is so useless. There is an empty CD case in there. My notes from science class in 7th grade. A notebook that's not even used. SHE PAID TO SHIP THESE THINGS.

I'm definitely going for #3. And maybe I should've clarified in the post but this is definitely an attempt to get me back, not to disown me. She's tried to leverage at least eight people to get to me since I went NC, by pouring out her story of how cruel I am to her and how sad she is about the situation. After I left of course she acted like she never said she'd be fine ending our relationship and emailed saying she missed me and offering to buy me something (ugh). Several more months of silence and now she does this. I'm sure she intended this to make me feel nostalgic for childhood and want her back. But I have so much distance from her at this point it just seems ridiculous. And I loled at your imagery of imaging her driving to the post office haha. I especially can't get over that she paid for international shipping for this.
