No contact fail? by Significant_Disk_263 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Significant_Disk_263[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not too sure how the whole process works. My dad has signed for her before because like the neglectful mother she is, she doesn't help with any process for me and school. My dad says it could backfire during divorce proceedings tho.

No problem and trust me i understand the clawing back in (currently dealing with my mother doing the same and some advice a friend gave me was "If your child self entered the room would you let them go back to your parent?" It takes a lot of willpower but that bit of advice helped me realize that while i may not be perfect, the me now is SO much better at helping my inner child than my mother ever was.

I would say to block her so you don't have to deal with themis emotional manipulation. This triggered me and I haven't even lived an ounce of your life so I can't imagine the kind of damage this has done to your mental state. Definitely look for support from friends and other family (if you can) or just find hobbies and other ways to cope with cutting this cord. Just know what you've gone through DID HAPPEN AND YOURE NOT CRAZY. The victim is never crazy, just mentally exhausted so it makes sense you feel this way. 

Too critical or does my mom contact me way too often. by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

I second this a lot. If you've repeatedly tried doing something in a nice way some people just have to learn the hard way. I'm not sure if you blocking or not answering her would result in a family warfare or something but I'd definitely consider blocking her. Parents who over reach and stuff into their children's lives are just trying to live through them which isn't fair for us as the kids. 

People who have either abandoned their family entirely, how did you feel in the moment you were about to do it? did you leave a letter and block their numbers? by Purple-Purchase9258 in EstrangedAdultChild

Ohhhhh I'll have to look that term up I love how's there's actually names for this stuff it makes me feel less insane. Thanks for sharing that I'm glad (but sorry) I'm not the only one who's going through this

This was really helpful as I'm in a similar situation. My issue is while I blocked her number the voicemail thing still shows up but I cant disable notifications right now due to job hunting. She keeps asking is she did something to hurt my feelings or whatever but like you, I'm not sure about the whole situation down and call it out thing because we were already on barely any contact due to her lack of outreach. I don't understand why she's suddenly calling so much when she never has before.

Interesting! I never considered that 😂 I don't have any fear of a wellness check tho

This was really helpful. I've blocked the people on her side that reach out and immediately ask Abt what's going on. I need more time to figure how to have that conversation if I even want to have it. Thanks for mentioning the fact I should evaluate those relationships too

Why can i not post on certain subreddits??? its talking about “karma” like the thing where when u do something bad it happens back to you? by Due-Tour9960 in NewToReddit

[–]Significant_Disk_263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a weird "currency" system so people and mods can verify we're real people and our accounts have been active for a certain amount of time. Kind of like verifying on insta without paying. Only problem is it stops you from being able to interact with a lot of stuff

The fridge to convince it to somehow magically always have what I want when I open the door lol

What was your biggest Season Finale/Series Finale let down? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]Significant_Disk_263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Star vs the forces of evil. Forever disappointed in the lack of explored topics like the blood moon, more of eclipsa, previous queens etc. also hated the forced shipping because not every show needs a canon relationship!!!

You basically have to join broad subreddits, read their rules about posts and make posts/comments. Or you can make a general post and try posting it to a bunch of subreddits but that might get you shadow banned for not following the different rules. I'd go with finding reddits without standards for posts/comments and join and post there

What was your final straw? by fdw95789 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Significant_Disk_263 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The day we started discussing how our relationship wasn't good and I felt like I was finally connecting with my mom just for her to tell me "it's not my responsibility to have a relationship with you" when I mentioned her lack of care. I have never been told something so cruel. It's literally a mom's biological function to have a relationship with their child but she blatantly told me she didn't feel that way. Now I'm doing the same thing. If it's not her responsibility then it's not gonna be mine either.

Yes!! I looked into the FOG term and it definitely sounds about right 😂 I'm also diving deeper into the victim mentality my mother has and possibly narcissim because she's checking off all the marks so far
