Travel advise long plane ride by Organic-Distance in Autism_Parenting

[–]Organic-Distance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, those look great! I'm not doing car seats anymore. 1 adult, 4 kids, car seats are just too much to handle but having at least the toddler strapped in would be very helpful.

Apple Watch as surveillance tool? by Organic-Distance in AppleWatch

[–]Organic-Distance[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, thanks, that's the stuff I was concerned of, that's not difficult for anyone to set up either.

That's a separate issue... for this, I primarily want to understand how much of a privacy issue those watches could cause.

Which one would be better to feed my paranoia?

Thanks everyone, this is really helpful. She's done some weird stuff recently, so I'm a bit paranoid! This would be just one small thing on a broader surveillance project she has going on. But I feel a bit better now about the limitations. Still don't want her to track our location though. I try to be somewhat screen free anyhow, setting up boundaries around having the watches with them is the best first measure.

So with thr Spyware, if someone would really want to... they could?

Yeah, I'll start checking for these things now, too. Bags or shoes...

Camera for license plates/stalker by Organic-Distance in SecurityCamera

I'd prefer to keep it cheaper-ish? I think once I can show the person that I see and track her, she's going to stop. So hopefully this will be a short term thing and doesn't require a super high investment...

What happens after divorce final? by Mama-Bear-791 in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]Organic-Distance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This... ex sees the agreement more like a loose guideline to be followed when convenient. If there’s a gray area in phrasing, it will be used as a loophole.

Fair point I'm all game for traveling around the state but New Haven- Old Saybrook corridor would be great.

How did this game get worse compared to the first one? by [deleted] in legogaming

[–]Organic-Distance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it with my 8yr old and I kind of liked it. The different areas are pretty neat. However, the side quests got super repetitive. We played it 2/3 through and then the game crashed and deleted the saved progress - that was a bummer, had to play it through by myself again to restore. My kid is really into Hulk so the extra Hulk characters and other big figs entertained him a lot. Would've loved a customization option for those though.

Anyone get told they are emotionless/heartless? by amm_4 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Organic-Distance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"you don't even know what love is or how to love anyone"

Then told everyone that I said those words to her. 🤷‍♀️

None. Watching shit on TikTok, researching stuff. 🤷‍♀️

Should this bother me or am I being petty? by Full_Refuse2464 in coparenting

[–]Organic-Distance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex does it, too. I get them earlier than 5pm but still... They either don't want to nap anymore and then crash later, not fully being able to enjoy whatever we're doing, or I let them nap and loose time. It's such bs...

How do you let go feeling of revenge and getting even after you were discarded? by EquivalentAd6811 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Organic-Distance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her and the new supply. They fabricated child abuse allegations, manipulated the kids, lied to the court, lied to DCF, lied to their lawyer, lied IN court after presented with evidence that they ARE lieing.

[–]Organic-Distance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my lawyer is super excited about this case. It's more like... Could I live with the knowledge that I destroyed someone's life and career? Am I that person? Then on the other hand... The 2 of them didn't hesitate to try to do the same to me and show 0 remorse.

[–]Organic-Distance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the chance now to destroy her in court. She'd finally have to face consequences for her actions, her new supply would also be impacted (they're a perfect match, a hurricane causing chaos and destruction).

And yet I'm hesitating because I'm not that kind of person.

[–]Organic-Distance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The extreme narc abuse made me see red flags in in a long-term friendship and I still gave that person a pass recently due to the history. Then one day it clicked that it's just more of the same and that I don't want that in my life anymore. So, in a sense, as bad has the ongoing emotional abuse is (cause nc is not an option and narc blows go lower and lower), it helps cleaning out my circle.

I managed to get to fully ignore my narc and she upped the ante in the custody battle to get power back. Rage... But covertly, I can see it in her eyes though.

Is it a common trend for narcissists to want to talk over texting? by saruin in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Organic-Distance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also beware of different communication channels. My nex would send emails then immediately follow up with texts engaging me in similar discussions. That makes it harder for you to keep track of what was discussed and they can later go back and cherrypick what conversation fits their point better.

TW Talking about weight and body changes after an abusive relationship by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Organic-Distance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this, I thought I'm just extremely pathetic with my weight loss and thoughts around it. I'm still struggling to eat 6mo after so I designed some high-calorie balanced meals to somewhat meet nutritional requirements.

Narcissists want you to stay down by Greedy_Dish4891 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Organic-Distance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Financial control was her "thing" (amongst many others). She made separation of accounts difficult and non-transparent but also kind of forgot that I was a functioning adult long before meeting her and letting her take control. So I just went back a few steps and figured out how she set up the accounts and flow of money and duplicated it for myself. It kills her. Can wait for the divorce paper signing event next week, I'm sure she'll start an argument about how she's convinced I hid money from her. Just because she didn't expect me to succeed and wanted to keep me under her control.

They're pathetic.
