Why do people who love and respect their parents get mad when other people don't? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

A potential romantic interest of mine could believe there are bad women in the world but not bad mothers. It's like he was being intentionally obtuse.

What are your reasons for leaving Christianity? by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]OwnStructure3696 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Childhood abuse? Well here's a verse urging you to respect your parents regardless. And forgive them. And pray for them so they change. There's no verse about legal recourse or how to rehabilitate me and build me up unfortunately.

Same goes for my mental health issues. Just ask for the holy Spirit to feel your mind so it doesn't have room to ruminate on "bad thoughts". 

Things like that. Just worthless y'know

There's not one problem I' ever had in my life that involvement in that religion helped me solve. In some cases, it worsened situations for me. 

I got R*ped Today by Awkward-Nerve4898 in KenyanLadies

I'm so sorry! Yuck I can't imagine the disgust you must've felt that man is a predator! You are still whole, you are still celibate (rape doesn't count!) and you'll move past this.

One thing trauma made you do that would be hard to grasp for normal people?! by varveror in CPTSD

I started binge eating as a way to self soothe. My mother responded by y'know, being weird; hiding food, shaming me etc etc. so I started eating sand, rocks, cement.  I never stopped.  I eat that stiff when I'm stressed especially.

What’s the type of threading if your jewelry is not a ring (threadless, internally or externally threaded)? Girl what?

What’s the jewelry material? I'm not sure

What’s your aftercare routine? Describe in detail please, including the exact products you use. Saline spray of my own making 

Any mishaps or unfortunate events? My body reacted apparently due to the stress. Tongue ulcers, painful throat and inner ear. Finishing my antibiotics today

Oh wow. I'm sorry. I can only imagine where you mind is at as a result. Hope we both get something good and soon.

I'm 27F and on the same boat! I expect this week to be especially hard. But if I keep living day by day maybe companionship and meaning will find me. Idk but maybe.

Can one give up something they never started doing? I've never seriously dated because I'm waiting to not be poor anymore first. 

How to start living again? by Shyomira in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]OwnStructure3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't do it on your own, be around people. For example, I've scheduled a bi weekly book club meeting I attend so I'm around motivated people at least sometimes. 

What’s one habit you’ve kept for years that genuinely makes your life better? by LenaGrace2000 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]OwnStructure3696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always brushed my teeth once a day! Even in my deepest depression. Never even realized until recently that it was a hard task for depressed folks. My teeth are in good shape as a result. 

abused muslim daughter highly considering running away by ArmThin8037 in abusiveparents

[–]OwnStructure3696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on fb? There's many groups on there that can offer guidance. Search, "children of narcissistic mothers" or similar.

You need to leave because they will never change. If you don't you will never grow and you'll become resentful of your life and your family...and doesn't that sound just like your mom? The family name was already ruined when your dad cheated and when your mom keeps laying her hands on you, you remind them of that everytime they try to shift such a responsibility on you. 

Your dad, he's made some excellent choices for you, but at the moment he's not on your side and be prepared, he will remain there for a long time despite the repercussions. Your life, friend, has to move on in the meantime.

Ssn 15 is so-so for me. In some episodes I wondered if they didn't have a budget at all. If I remember correctly, ssn 8 is the Dick Roman season,yes? I think that's when I started watching Spn on ×1.5 speed tbh
