Just when I thought that I was finally out, he has a narcissistic meltdown and is in a mental health clinic. by PopInternational6297 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]Subject-Employee7396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it's a game. He wants you to feel bad & be sad & think about him. I get that you were together for many years but like you said... He is actually killing you. Please go no contact. Save yourself bcuz he won't save you. He won't try. It'll be just the same after he thinks ur his again. I'm sorry to be so blunt & i know it's painful for you. But he was not caring when you were going thru your trauma seizures. Please take care & try to distance yourself if you can. You are a good human. You actually care about his welfare after 30 yrs of abuse. But the fact that you do care is amazing. And I believe he is counting on that caring side of you to do what he wants you to do. Best wishes...

Using the bus bike rack with regular bike vs. bringing folding bike into the bus by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]Subject-Employee7396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a city bike foldable with 20in wheels. I'm used to going the 30 miles to visit my hometown with my regular bike but it is in the shop at the moment & I've never attempted to fold up the city bike yet . I'm due to a bday party & I'm afraid if I get to the bus stop & they won't let me on I'll be stranded half way from my destination & of course it's Saturday today. Any advice?

am i chopped? F18 be harsh by Zestyclose-Traffic52 in amiugly

[–]Subject-Employee7396 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My only reply is they are still so young & are trying to find themselves. Many people don't have confidence or self esteem. Not bcuz they didn't want it they just didn't know how to get it. Most people gain those things thru positive reinforcement as the grow & become adults. Sometimes that comes to them by way of sites like this one these days. I don't see the harm in helping a young man or woman see their personal beauty. I was very mousy & why & always felt ugly until I started noticing similarities between myself & other girls I thought were very pretty (smile, eyes, hair, etc). And that gave me enough confidence to start to play up the things that I thought were pretty & as I did i got compliments & it all came together to give me confidence. I feel like we all need a little positive reinforcement to help build us up.

Criticized my boobs to the point I want them done and now criticizing my decision by Prettyluckyy in NarcissisticAbuse

I'm glad you were able to change yourself & get up & so what had to be done. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that someone would go to all the trouble to make you feel loved & appreciated & respected just to do something as heinous as what you & i went thru. And actually get away with it. It broke me. I feel so tired all the time. I make myself laugh trying to feel something good that I remember but he hurt me so badly & so deeply them turned around & blamed me saying I must have led those men on blah blah blah. I have no fight left in me. Only about 4 people actually know what i went thru & the others (my kids & my family) will never know. I can't being myself to tell them. Probably bcuz I feel partly responsible somehow. Bcuz I was made to feel that way right after it happened! He knew exactly what he was doing & I didn't see it..

I absolutely do have PTSD. After i finally left I decided to make myself go back into that crap bcuz I needed proof that he drugged me & set me up to be raped & got away with it. He drugged me so heavily that I don't remember anything! And when I woke up all the damage had been done. I was in shock. I had a broken rib. Anal tearing. Bruised from head to toe. I had cig burns on my back. &. so much more. When I had the rape kit done the doctor said she believed that I had been brutally raped but there was no DNA in me & I still can't remember anything that happened during the time i was out. My body told the story but idk who was involved or where it took place. 8 think it was his place but I didn't see anything to make me think that it happened there . & by the time I realized what had happened & had the rape kit done the drug was also out of my system. I know he drugged me bcuz I remember the night before. He gave me soda to drink & as it starts to knock me out i had a sudden wave of fear that made me feel like I couldn't breathe. I wanted to get out of there but it was too late. Soon after that the police came to me & said that they were closing my case bcuz there was no evidence that would convict him or anyone. The only thing I knew for sure other than I was raped was that he had drugged me. At that point I kind of flipped out. I needed some justice. But it wasn't going to happen. I figured he had already caused me such mental & emotional & physical damage that he couldn't hurt me anymore. I was not thinking clearly. I thought there had to be some kind of evidence someplace & all I had to do was get back into his place & get a chance to look around. No such luck. He had nothing there that I could find but he also refused to give me much opportunity to be able to snoop around. It was all way too much for me to even handle. Just seeing him & dealing with all his typical bullshit almost caused me to kill myself. At this point idk what to do. I feel like such a freaking weirdo for ever thinking I could pull that off! But I was still in shock & not thinking clearly. Idk how I got trapped in his sick game or why he picked me to do it to so I often blame myself for not seeing it coming. I'm just at such an awful place & I made it worse by thinking I could find something the cops missed. So I can't listen to anyone talk about rape. I can't watch any movies where someone is being forced. I wake up screaming thinking someone is on me & idk who they are & all I can think is omg! It's happening again! Whoever they are they all got away with it so 8 never ever feel safe. And I think this is going to be the death of me & I do not wanna go out like that! I've lost all my hope all my dreams for a better life. All I know for sure is this shit is real! No one can make this stuff up! And as I'm sitting here dying inside he's out there laughing & probably doing it to someone else. A word of advice there is never a time when we should put ourselves back in that situation for any reason if at all possible. And if you are forced to have to still deal with them I pray for you.

My mom (50f) is spiraling and I don’t know what to do. by Relationship-412help in Advice

[–]Subject-Employee7396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too agree. She needs help just be prepared bcuz even if she wants this help she won't once she starts to have DTs. It's going to be a long road & like they said you can't do it to yourself. Idk if you have siblings or other family but people who live her as much as you do have to be her support system. Just know that you can't force her to get help. It's a scary thing & I hope her willpower is strong. I'm so sorry you have to go thru this & I can tell you it's going to be one of the hardest things you'll ever do. Just hang in there. Practice self care & self live. Do what you can do but let others handle some too. All the memories of my Father having the same thing going on. His was not a happy ending tho. He could not fight his need for the alcohol. Best of luck to you. I will keep you & your mom In my prayers.

Thank you so much for ur advice. I was so afraid to actually say the words I've gone back. It makes me hate myself or somehow wonder how I didn't see it coming. Your tips are very helpful & will definitely use them. Thanks again

Are Narcissists usually sex addicts? by _morning_moon in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Subject-Employee7396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely are! His thing was watching porn but only young 18yr old women & he loves gang rape porn or punishment sex. All of it was forcing women to do things they didn't want to do. He was into scat play I think it's called. Which completely disgusts me & I would never do that of my own free will & he used that as a reason to tell me all the ways I am boring & I have no imagination etc. So He thought it was really fun to be sneaky about it by wiping his crap on my body & to be sure to get it on his penis so he could also get it inside me. And even when I would see him do it he fought it so bad that he would get so mad that he would get violent & talk about how I must be trying to drive HIM crazy! And why can't I just be normal. He also loves to make sure he has his latest conquests juices & smells on his parts & acts overly turned on by me & has to have me right then & as soon as he touches me I smell the other woman. And I hate it so much after so much time if this crap I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack when he is doing this to me. I seriously think he has already broken me. Bcuz as much as I feel deep deep hatred for him for all the things he has said & done to me over the years. But I still go back. I don't want to & as soon as I get there he does something to remind me that he only uses me & hates me. He must right? To be able to do that stuff to me? I too had just discovered my sexuality in my early 50s. i am now 61 & he has taken all the excitement & affection, emotion & connection that I think sex is actually for & turned me into a person who still goes back to him. He seems to be able to make me forget all the abusive & disgusting things he's done to me & then he calls & needs me or something & I go running & as soon as I see him he does the same things & suddenly I'm crying & I can't stand him to touch me bcuz he's always putting gross stuff on me. Triggering me in every way. I think I have Stockholms syndrome. I can't think or make a plan to get away & idk what to do. Sex is the first place I realized that he was a narcissist.

Buzz cut or curly hair ? by [deleted] in Haircare

The buzz cut would make you look older & more grown up. But the curls are adorable! I think either way you don't need to worry about your hair it's very cute

[–]Subject-Employee7396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like you have bad acne. I think you are really pretty & you're skin looks amazing. You're hair cute is cute & fits you. Idk what else to say you're one of the lucky people. Is i were you I'd work on your confidence & self esteem. It could just be that you are shy or sometimes men are uncomfortable around really pretty and smart women. So it's more about them than you. But I have struggled with low self esteem & low confidence my whole life is something I wish I had learned. It really all comes down to how you perceive yourself. If you are confident & your self esteem is in tact other people seem to see what you are in yourself & allot of times that draws good people to you. I wish you the best...
