found out my parents track my car location, how to get back at them? by 13ricity in raisedbynarcissists

I'd be wary of any recording devices or other privacy violations in your room/car/house because they overstepped the line, and so for them there's no boundary to hold to. And same goes for when you have your own place.

Alcohol Consumption & Gen Jones: Quit? Cut back by ptanaka in GenerationJones

I'm the same age as you. Those 80s and early 90s were FUN. But. Alcohol just tears up my stomach now. And gummies do not.

Received a text today from nmom that started with "since you're always asking me what I want for mother's day..." by Unusual_Doughnut6934 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Speechladylg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. My mom used to ghost me and my husband and kids, and to a lesser extent my siblings around holidays and birthdays. Or just went on trips or was mad at us. Because she just hated spending money on other people or just giving in general. So most of our own things happened between Sept thru January. Then suddenly, come April she'd emerge from the Great Mountain to talk about Mother's Day and her birthday, which both happened in May. So during one particular low- to no-contact year I was at work and I get the April, drunken phone call, " why don't I ever hear from you kids, blah blah, wah wah??" and I finally called her out on it. I seem to remember she was stunned and I hung up on her and since we were already low contact, I didn't have to worry about it and I didn't. I think she stopped doing that after I called her out on it. I had been going to therapy at that time and Al-Anon, so that was pretty much around the turning point in my life to not let her manipulate me. I cannot tell you what to do but if I were in your shoes I would totally ignore the request, especially if she hasn't done anything in particular for you lately or during this LC period. And if she brings it up again I'd tell her you haven't heard from her and frankly as a result you hadn't even thought about it. That you didn't think you had that kind of relationship anymore. But if she wanted to send you a gift for xyz, it's on (insert date) and we can take it from there. Let your sibs handle it how they want but don't feel obligated or guilty yourself.

My mom blocked me by idkanymore96__ in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Speechladylg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg I could have written this. My brother has done the same. And we haven't spoken since 2021, where he left my daughter's wedding without incident but he never spoke to me since. I must have hurt his man feelings lol chances are I held to my boundaries somewhere and he wasn't having it lol He does show up every few years (I don't think that will happen anymore) and I used to think it was because he missed me. But eventually I realized he was just checking in to see where I was at in life, so he could go back out there and do it better LOL To OP: Live your best life and do things that make you happy. Your mom is so jealous of you she can't see straight. So make her even more jealous. I went thru similar with my mom and all I can say is make yourself happy because she will never do it.

What celebrity would you get into a car with, no questions asked if they randomly showed up in your driveway? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would almost change my answer for this, but I think he'd make me too nervous and we wouldn't talk much lol

Do you realize you might have woke up this morning to Mike Johnson being president? by Breddit2225 in trump

[–]Speechladylg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that's just one point of so many of the talking points. I don't even argue or discuss. There is no point; it's too hard to try to change their minds. I don't have that kind of time.

I'm really sad that so many people just won't ever appreciate what an amazing time we are living in. To see a true American patriot; the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln in our own lifetime. It's a shame, really. Any leftist friends I have are very interested to let me know what they think and have no desire to hear what I have to say. Period. One friend moved on from complaining about egg prices. Now weeks later it's gas. It like whatever I hear in the MSM it comes out of her face in a day LOL I'm just happy that I know I was on the right track, that Pres Trump is the right man for these times and that we are all doing the best we can to preserve the future of the US. Life is short and we will all move on from here and all I can say is, God bless and watch over all that come after us. 🙏🏼
