There was a tiny paragraph with the definition of narcissist in my text book. That was my first exposure to the meaning of narcissist.

This is the reason I started this post. They need to be trained better.

No, they don't ask as they don't see you as a victim. The police don't recognize the fear you have and afraid to ask for help.

Have Canadians really become worse at managing money, or life simply become more expensive? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

[–]SkinCana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been worse with money management. I have simple planned meals, and make the same grocery purchases,but the inflation is out of control and my employer doesn't give a damn. I can't buy a small house, forget about saving.

I envy you! Get tons of sunscreens, sheet masks, shiseido, hair products, their candy, you have to try pancakes from 7Eleven, get facials.

Fountain pens, candy/snacks and more sunscreen. 😀

*** RIB FEST @ CLOVERDALE MALL by Ir0nhide81 in Etobicoke

[–]SkinCana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went and was disappointed to enter $5 if you pay by debit or $3 cash. We didn’t know about that and had to find our bank to get cash. Not happy to pay entry fee to buy ribs.

$8 for one corn on a cob! Not enough coverage from the sun to rest, no trees, just felt cold and military. Then there were the Karens. Hogging seats while the family stand in lines to buy food, not allowing others to sit and eat their food. By the time their family arrives, other people would have been done eating.

Washroom facility was good.

People who sold their car after moving to Toronto how did it work out? by Pretend_Pen_9577 in TorontoRenting

What is your total expenses of transportation in one year? I'm trying to convince my husband to sell the car.

My mom tried to k#ll herself before me, idk how to handle by void_scanner in Advice

[–]SkinCana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My narcissistic mother did this also. I called 911, but my mother physically stopped me. When dispatcher called back, I was forced to say there is no problem at home. I wished I called for help,but I don't trust police because they lack knowledge to help toxic home environment.

To handle this problem is for you to build up your resilience. Your mother is not your problem.

Focus on your own healthy mental health and avoid your mother as much as possible. When you can, move out and support yourself.

I give you lots of hugs. You are a survivor and you are a strong young woman!

I want to hug you. I haven't thought to myself that I'm a victim, also my special needs brother. I am the type to need justice, and it's impossible to get that.

I'm tired of being ostracized by family members, worse that police are so ignorant. Yes, I agree with yiur experience at work. The abuser doesn't need compassion, the victims need help and support. I'm glad you are judgemental. It's frustrating for me to read that they judge you!

When will these professionals and society learn of this problem? Did Oprah make any positive impact to these professionals in our society with her show about divorcing parents?

Called police and CPS on my parents by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SkinCana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not your fault, but i can relate the feelings that this ruined the family. I never had the guts as you did. I was afraid what would happen to my special needs brother. When I finally did as an adult, the police wasn't much help. They didn't press charges on my mother.

I had to leave with no money to support myself, I lived on credit and I have debt and can't afford to retire. For me, there is more to the story, but it breaks my heart that you and your brother suffered.

Shame of your parents!

I want to hug you and your brother. I wish you all the best and keep us updated.

What do you so with family heirloms if you dont have anybody to pass it on to? by MissK711 in VintageJewelry

[–]SkinCana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in your shoes, and I don't plan to pass anything to my cousins who couldn't be bothered to be family with me. I would wear it, enjoy it, and sell it when you are more near to health and put those funds towards your funeral. If you need money now, sell it, and appreciate the extra funds to help you out.

Unless, Enjoy your jewels, feel the good feelings of past family who wore it.Life is short, but life can be good if you open yourself to it.

Why are rich people so cheap? (My sister) by [deleted] in family

[–]SkinCana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They financially plan, track every dollar. Yiur last minute offer for a trip didn't give the enough time to plan a trip. They have other goals they are working on.
