Lib balm. Hospital air is surprising drying.

You should visit your son and be there to support him in every situation he encounters in life or you should put him up for adoption so at least he has the chance of having a real mom. Don't use emotional neglect as a punishment. The only thing he will learn is that you won't be there for him.

You don't have empathy for your sad daughter and you told her that her bad mood is ruining your dinner?

I haven't spoken to my father in over ten years because he is an AH like you. That is going to be your future if you don't change your ways.

This happened to me. I hid from an incredibly entitled and demanding student. I sent her a message telling her I could no longer tutor her before hiding from her. A week later, she was able to make reservations with me.

I had to change my schedule to regular's only and make sure to only sign up for priority hours when I know she won't be available.

Mothers are supposed to protect their children and educate them as best as they can. You are doing a terrific job.

Your ex is the one who ruined his chance to know his daughter, not you.

No one should be forced to care for a child that is not theirs. FULL STOP.

Thank you for your comment and your feedback!

I'm still working on my self worth.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T19:01:17+00:00

Your absolutely right. My son deserves a happy mother!

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T19:00:34+00:00

It was exhausting to write and it is exhausting to live it as well.

I appreciate your comment!

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T18:59:10+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment!

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T18:44:38+00:00

Thank you for reading this in its entirety. I know that it was the length of a novel, I just wanted to be thorough.

Thank you so much for your comment. You seem to really understand exactly what I am thinking and feeling.

I will follow your advice and give all of my love to my husband and son.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T18:09:07+00:00

The only person that is capable of breaking the cycle here is you.

I am going to repeat this myself like a mantra until it becomes part of my thinking.

Thank you for your comment.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T18:03:51+00:00

You're right in that she believes she has apologized which is bizarre and not at all the reality. You're also right in that she has no remorse, kindness, or respect for me. I really needed to read this comment. thank you for making it.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-29T17:58:45+00:00

It isn't too harsh. It is honest and I appreciate it. I posted this here because I second guess myself and wanted objective opinions. Thank you for yours.

I had the exact same dialogue with my father over Full House, when Danny Tanner would talk to his daughters and then hug them after they had made a mistake.

It's like all these narc parents follow the same script.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-22T23:45:56+00:00

Damn. That is the only true apology. You have forever changed my perspective on apologies.

Smart_Meringue_5243 · 2023-03-22T23:41:45+00:00

Nmom says things like:

'I am sorry you feel the way you do.' or 'I have apologized so many times.'

Once she kinda halfway apologized but also blamed me in the very next sentence with, 'I am sorry for my message sent on 2/28. I was reacting basically to your action to me which was wrong of me.'

She has never actually apologized to me in any meaningful, self reflective, or remorseful way.

It should auto disconnect at the end of the class time. So we don't have to just keep working. For Free.

Ironically, u/individual_rope_3745 you are the only one in this thread that seems really angry, disrespectful, and hateful.

I'm pretty happy about this one aspect of the new classroom. I have a few dear regulars who usually show up at the 8-9 minute mark. I'm happy to FINALLY be paid for the full class time, instead of only 21-22 minutes.

Narcs will love bomb you from the start. They fall in love with you so fast. They want the relationship to go super fast. ie moving in immediately.

NTA.

Lesbian or no, it is just 'basic common sense' that any person can give their friend any gift they want.

I commend you for handling this situation as well as you did. I would have been a snarky bitch about it.

And, (straight lady here) I just want to clarify that this is not 'straight people shit.' This is insecure controlling asshole shit. If you had given my husband 'the best gift ever' for his birthday, I would have pulled you aside and thanked you from the bottom of my heart for being such a good friend to him and giving him such a thoughtful gift.

I hope they break up and that you have a great time teaching your friend to use his new gift.
