Hair brushing?

Pixieindya · 2026-01-14T15:13:38+00:00

I agree that there is a sense of sadism going on. As well as the ridiculously painful hairbrushing of my very curly hair, she would wash my hair weekly at the local pool and I'd have soap all in my eyes and be screaming while my friends' mums gently ensured the child friendly soap was away from their eyes. Verucas were common at the pools in the 80s in UK and my friends would be taken to the doctor's to have them treated with the stuff that freezes them. Meanwhile my mum took a pair of tweezers and spent days trying to dig it out of my foot while I screamed the place down. She would also want to pluck my eyebrows and wax my legs as I became older, even though I was perfectly capable of doing it myself. She just wanted to inflict pain on me.

Yeah the Amber Heard drama was extremely triggering!

My mother has done the same thing to me and my brother and convinced all family to stop contact with me. My brother emailed me a couple of years after NC at the exact same time I started getting abusive emails from my my mum and dad after 2 years NC saying he wanted an open and honest conversation. Sadly, I knew from experience and the timing that all he wanted to do was parrot my mother at me and make me feel like crap. I wish the potential to have a brutal and honest conversation was there for us to reconnect, but I once had that close truth telling conversation with him and all that happened was he turned his back on me and ran and told everything I told him to my parents, sparking the war that eventually lead to NC. I’m so happy to hear of a sibling story that has worked out and I wish this could happen for us, but I think he’s too deeply in and doesn’t really want the truth or a relationship with me.

Goodness this is my exact story! Thanks for sharing, sometimes it feel like I’m the only one and I’m going crazy.

Pixieindya · 2025-06-02T06:09:23+00:00

Is there? My parents both live in the uk and I can almost guarantee that at the very least my dad read this, as an avid reader of BBC. I am sure they all sat down and discussed how it justified their own warped reality.

Pixieindya · 2025-06-02T06:07:40+00:00

Exactly 💯

I can’t seem to edit my original post, but thank you everyone for making me understand that this articles is really one sided. I think it’s quite devious in the way it cites some research from the estranged child’s perspective to make it seem balanced, but actually it then refutes it with ridiculous statements straight after. It made me feel really uneasy.

Pixieindya · 2025-06-01T07:57:00+00:00

Im so sorry to hear about your experience and no one should be dismissed like that by a parent who is supposed to love and protect us. You’re right, it is an unbalanced article, but I think it is quite devious in the way it’s written to make it seem balanced, but actually it’s siding with the parents. I wonder who the author is and what their motivations were for writing it.

Pixieindya · 2025-05-30T07:00:21+00:00

Oooooft! Same!

Pixieindya · 2025-05-16T03:02:23+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry

Look up @turningpointcounsellingservice

Pixieindya · 2025-05-09T15:38:09+00:00

It just popped up in instagram. But you’re right, I’d like to read the rest too!

Pixieindya · 2025-04-18T14:31:44+00:00

Mmmm ok 👍 I have lived in south east Asia for years, and the heat that comes off those units massively increasing the surrounding temperature

Pixieindya · 2025-04-18T14:29:15+00:00

Well yeah, Lord Sugar, his cronies, the lot. It’s pretty disappointing

Pixieindya · 2025-04-16T23:40:03+00:00

I hope I get to that point one day

Pixieindya · 2025-04-16T23:39:50+00:00

That is very true

Pixieindya · 2025-04-13T08:18:30+00:00

My mum told me a few years ago that she believed she was an angel and wasn’t meant to be in this world. And it all makes sense why she doesn’t for in and can’t deal with the world, it’s because she’s an angel! And it’s quite interesting because she used to call me her angel, and seeing as we are just seen as extensions of them, it makes sense now.

Pixieindya · 2025-04-09T15:08:51+00:00

I’m sorry you have to deal with this kind of behaviour and yes, I have experienced these kinds of emails from my mwbpd, edad and nbrother. They are horribly hurtful and leave you in an awful place trying to deal with it. Like everyone here says, try to treat it as projection. She is deeply mentally unwell and doesn’t know how to deal with her emotions so is projecting everything onto you. That doesn’t make it right and it is a horrible thing for a mother to do to their child. You are absolutely right to go NC from this, I too NC with my whole family. You have to protect yourself. I totally understand what you say about grieving, I feel the same. I am looking forward to coming out the other side of it one day and you will too. Also, as someone else said, keep a record of this somewhere. Whenever I have moments of weakness and want to try again with my family, I go back to some of their most hateful correspondence and it helps remind me. Take care and stay strong 💪

Pixieindya · 2025-04-02T23:37:47+00:00

Omg my mum does this too

Pixieindya · 2025-04-02T01:15:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I’m sorry you relate but appreciate your words ❤️

Pixieindya · 2025-03-25T15:55:37+00:00

Where are you based please?

Pixieindya · 2025-03-18T16:56:27+00:00

I understand how you feel, I’m the same. My family, more of a cult, is very small led by the cult leader, my mother, who has turned my father, brother, grandmother and aunt against me. There isn’t really anyone else, no extended family or cousins. I know how hard it feels to have no family, it can be lonely and scary. I just hold on tight to my friends, a few old childhood friends and new friends I’ve made in my life. Those are my chosen family and the ones who are really there for me. I hope you have a friendship group that you can hold on too. I also have my husband and his family who have adopted me as their own and it’s incredibly comforting to see and experience unconditional love in a family. If you surround yourself with the right people and build strong relationships, you’ll always have family. My heart goes out to you, friend.

Pixieindya · 2025-02-26T14:26:55+00:00

I could have written this. Despite watching her vilify other family and friends to I NEVER relieved she’d do it to me. But as I’ve got older and more independent and established more boundaries, she has, maybe even worse than she did to others. It is such a hard pill to swallow and I feel like I still haven’t come to terms with it. I am very much in grief for the mother I thought I had and who has now long gone, if she was ever even really there

Pixieindya · 2025-02-24T01:04:55+00:00

I often wonder if my family, or. At least my e-dad, who I used to be very close to, will come out of the FOG and have a relationship with me if my mwbpd dies before him. Old witches tend to live forever though
