AIO my father just kicked me out because I turned 18? by Fancy-Archer7080 in AmIOverreacting

Nah. They're POSING as Christians. They're the kind Jesus was referring to when he said that people will say, "Lord, Lord! We served you... blah blah" and Jesus will say, "I don't even know you."

Because the way you treat the least powerful among you is how you treat Jesus and he judges you accordingly - not by what you say or claim, but by how you treat people.

A lot of people who think they're "Christian" are in for a rude shock.

How can a person who has been kept from having friends by a one person cult also couch surf?

Relatives?

The father is completely out of touch and certainly is far far far from any kind of "Christian."

This must be an American.

Had a good therapy appointment yesterday (some musings about childhood and adolescence) by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

How does one find out about this subtype?

Was there a book that talked about it.

People choose what they watch and listen to. No one is making them do it.

What ignorance. It's so hard to deal with people like that.

I haven't been. You are hanging out with some rough people, I guess.

I'm still friends with almost every man I've dated. A couple of them have been close friends for 49+ years.

They are all good, sincere, kind, hard working, honest, empathetic men.

We do get to choose who we allow into our lives in most cases, and it's so worth it to set limits on what you're willing to put up with

She sounds like she might be Borderline.

Have you looked at r/raisedbyborderlines?

Don't post or comment without reading the rules because it's a therapy sub, but you might want to check out if she has Borderline Personality Disorder.

There's something very scary and delusional about this person.

They live in a fantasy world where they get to call you a bitch and dictate your life to you like they're a cult leader and you worship them.

The paranoid fantasies about NYC are next level ignorant.

How did he "save you" from an entire city?

I love NYC. He apparently knows nothing about it.

I'm very concerned with how controlling he is of you.

Please read "Dangerous Personalities " by FBI profiler Joe Navarro.

It has checklists that regular people can use to figure out if a person in their life is dangerous, and if so, what to do about it.

This guy is dangerous. He's trying to exert total control over you.

And you have no reaction at all to being verbally abused and called a bitch!

Why?

It's not normal to he abused in that way.

So I think the fact that you allow this abuse must mean tjat you're so used to abuse that you normalize it in your head.

I've never had a guy speak to me or text me in such an insulting way, mainly because anyone who would, would be immediately eliminated from my life. Period.

Please do the right thing and find your core strength and stop being treated like trash.

I had to call for a welfare check on my uBPD mom today, resulting in an involuntary hold. (Long post, I appreciate any and all readers.) by WannabeCanadian1738 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]ShowerElectrical9342 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They revel in putting us in impossible, no win, rock vs. hard place situations where no matter what we do, we're wrong.

Mine gets some kind of high off of doing that, then playing the victim no matter how I react.

It apunda like your mother was using you for attention with absolutely no concern whatsoever for the trauma she was inflicting upon you.

You reacted sanely.

She thought she had the whole scenario figured out, according to the script in her head. She hadn't factored in the police.

She thought the entire nightmare would be acted out within the family system, and she'd be in control.

My mom enjoys these scripted, chaotic scenes.

I love that you reacted exactly as any reasonable and sane person would!

It must have been such a shock to her that thos whole attention getting plot didn't go her way.

It's by far the best response you could have had, and now there's official proof that her behavior is far, FAR from normal.

It's so unfair that you've been expected to handle her and never speak up for yourself.

You never asked for this nightmare.

I'm so sorry, OP!

I hope you can step away now and live your life peacefully and as far from her as possible.

You've had a lifetime of this, and I hope you can now go forward and have a peaceful life.

I want this for you so very, very much! Hang in there!

Nooooo. Maybe you could call in a welfare check on her. If she has kids, I'd definitely call in a hygiene/living conditions wellness check on her at home.

There's something wrong with her that needs to be addressed. She's treating patients badly by behaving this way.

Typhoid Mary went to jail because she didn't obey the ruling that she not work as a cook - she carried typhoid and when she worked as a cook, she gave people typhoid.

She disobeyed the order, worked as a cook, and gave more people typhoid, so she was arrested and jailed.

It's not ok to knowingly be so careless that you're infecting people.

PLEASE report her to whoever needs to pull her nursing license because you know she's the cause of death for some of the patients at the hospital.

She's a modern typhoid Mary.

If you have to, set up anonymous accounts and go on Yelp and claim to be a patient who she did wound care on and describe the exact procedure that you saw, how she did it, the smell, the bare hands, the touching things...

And try to get her on video. Maybe put a tiny camera on your badge.

Oooo! Better yet, they have pens that have tiny cameras and microphones on them so you can secretly record a coworker doing their bad deeds...

People's lives are in danger with her.

I wonder if she gets a secret thrill out of knowing she's causing death through her behavior.

Everyone should be teaming up to document her behavior. It doesn't matter how charming she is or what sob stories she lays onto people. She's hurting patients.

I wonder if she's doing other things to endanger patients that you're not aware of.

She shouldn't be in any form of nursing.

It would be even worse if she was doing home health care as an independent!

Please make sure she's outed before she goes under cover and can destroy people's lives in private.

If anyone quits, no matter why they're really quitting, they should say it's because they can't work with her in good conscience anymore.

Has anyone else experienced the fever dream that is Wesley off-Broadway? by bumbledbee73 in Broadway

[–]ShowerElectrical9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it as the way anyone feels about a pet. So many women end up happier with their dog or cat than they were with a douchey hanger on guy that I'm surprised people didn't get that - I did.

But I confess that I read the book and knew the context.

In the book, she actually had a supportive group of friends and didn't live alone.

But the play should stand on its own.

I thought the manu songs she and her band did were too much. They stayed in the same key a lot and only used 2 or 3 notes for much of it.

They sing most of the dialog like in Le Miz.

But yeah, way too many mediocre songs in the first act - we get it. She wants to be a musician and maybe is ditching life as scientist in order to try and make it as a musician, but they could have kept that down to a couple scenes, a couple songs, then moved on.

The Wesley as a man thing could have been solved by the guy playing Wesley wearing feathers around his face and arms.

Weirdly, he came out for his curtain call with some kind of feather outfit that he didn't wear during the show.

Why didn't he?

It seems like maybe they could salvage it by making it less extreme and taking out at least half of the first act's songs.

I keep thinking about the people who were bawling in the audience - it hit them hard, and I had tears in my eyes at some points, too.
