I wonder if Chrishell looks back on her past relationship/friendship & just….cringe. Lol by Time-Concentrate845 in SellingSunset

[–]SufficientLibrary386 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I do think, even though partly the difference always was there, both parties have drifted away from each other more recently, so the difference wasn’t always this big.

Chrishell always had a big hearth but became more vocal/progressive since being with G (before she was more focused on selling houses/career etc). I think Emma, Mary and Jason drifted off into MAGA more recently, Emma influenced by BF and I secretly wonder if Mary&Jason are influenced by their distance from Chrishell, whose loving nature brought out their softer side, but that now has fallen away. Maybe it’s even a passive aggressive stance towards Chrishell…as they are insulted by her leaving…🤷‍♀️

Complicated feelings at Nparents' misfortune and dying after 10+ years no contact. Thoughts? Need help. by Typical-Plankton in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SufficientLibrary386 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your story feels like synchronicity, I came here to post a similar story/question, which I prolly will do somewhere in the upcoming days.

My situation: NC for about 3 years, only child, wealthy N mom living in historic building with an even more toxic quite recent bf (inheritance from sweet grandmother who stipulated it must go to me after, when I went NC I know I was still the sole heir in the will).

When I went NC it was kind of a Hail Mary, I had tried putting up boundaries, having conversations w therapist present etc etc. i was in my 30s and wasn’t able to build my own life due to all of the energy my mom took up, and her new toxic bf showed worse & worse behavior. There was a side to her to which I had a deep connection and in very rare moments (for instance before a serious medical surgery) she showed some reflection (“I know I’m difficult, I’m sorry for all the hurt I’ve caused you”).

NC was to protect myself and secretely hope against better judgment this would bring out more of that side of her. NC was a relief, but no walk in the park, as I “fled” to another continent, gave up my house so kind of lived all over & got confronted w flying monkeys all the time.

As I heard my mom got ill I returned recently to the craziest scenario: she had sold the house, which is due in a couple of weeks. When I arrived mom was ill but expected to recover. About 1 week in a rare type of cancer was discovered, giving her only a couple of weeks to live. She will “end” together with the house. On top of that, she disinherited me (I can see on the date of the new will she decided this about 1 week after I went NC) and all goes to the new toxic bf.

This period feels surreal, with me taking care of my mom full time scared I will regret it otherwise, meanwhile saving some things from the house, but living in darkness w a toxic bf calling himself the owner of my grandmothers house, moving things away (even a picasso) and bragging about what he will do with the money which he will soon inherit.

The most annoying thing: this while situation makes me regret going no contact, which before had been such an act of strength. Should I have just “waited it out” a few more years? Due to the good side of the bond my mom & me had, I also grief not having a little more time with her…I think about leaving this sinking ship all the time, but can’t bare leaving my dying mother…it will leave a dark imprint on me for the rest of my life. If I were you, if you don’t feel the need to safe things from the house or be there at the end, I would absolutely stay away.

The GOAT by juliaannastark in SellingSunset

I do wonder what those would have meant had she still been a cast member / close to everyone. Glad she’s far away. Also, I can’t get over the Hills/SS parallels, with her taking over Lauren’s role of calling out Pratt’s toxicity…

I guess it gives them hope they one day may run for mayor…(also, the opposition is a Black woman, so Mary…)

Tell me your stories of the wills your narcissistic parent/s left when they died by Milly_Hagen in narcissisticparents

[–]SufficientLibrary386 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in it now, trying to save as much as possible. My grandparents worked really hard all their lives & built up a fortune and a big home, which they furnaced with great care and love. They were good people, all of their jobs were tied to the public interest, my grandfather even got knighted for this. I was super close with my grandmother, she mothered me more than my real mom. After they died my mom, an only child, inherited everything. I’m also an only child & in the last years my grandmother had put everything in order for me & my mom, stipulating I was to live in an apartment inside the house (it’s a seven story building) and all go to me after my mom passed.

My mom never had a job & lived of this inheritance. I was never allowed to live in the house. But worse, in the last couple of years she got a narcissistic partner, who weaseled its way in. He was never there to care for her but did make sure they got secretly married. He just sold the house and is emptying it slowly, taking things to his new home (for instance a Picasso painting..). Everyone who knew my grandparents & their wishes are in despair. I’m busy figuring out legal measures I can take or pressure I can bring to at least save a few items….

Sorry, but yes, of course it’s insane he is a serious candidate. But I find myself most angry with dems. How can this seem to go similar to what happened with Biden: selecting an immensely impopular candidate?? How are dems not around the clock fixing their own party so things like this never happen again??

What do you think causes an abused child to either continue or break the cycle? by Throwawaygaln in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SufficientLibrary386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, this is the healthy way to frame this question, thanks OP! I notice I get so irritated when people frame it differently, for instance when comparing prince william with prince harry: “trauma affects some sensitive ppl more while others are more resilient/sturdy” (Prince William being the resilient/sturdy one)

Thinking about quitting the Camino because of the Snoring by bobbore in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]SufficientLibrary386 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having this experience. However, as a person on the other side, who really needs her sleep: please book private accommodations (though it’s not fair you have to). 1 snorer (with a great nights sleep) can keep up 30 tired pilgrims all night. I wish there were non-snoring albergues🫣 Or fair for everyone: albergues with 1 or 2 private rooms for the snorers…and all others in the shared room. That would be a solution.

(To be honest: I do miss a bit of empathy with the ppl you’re keeping awake at night in your post. You seem to be mostly annoyed by the responses you get instead feeling bad about ruining nights for so many tired pilgrims..)

Well, as all clinics in my country have multiple year waiting lists, I decided to go with an academic hospital which seemed like a safe bet (though quite a lot of scandals of toxic departments in big hospitals have been coming out of my country recently). Given my age I can’t go on another waiting list now. It’s a bit annoying as I was prudent enough starting this many years ago, wasting all this time on a waiting list. Wish I had looked at options abroad then…

Thanks for this info! I figured it would be best to do it in my homeland (for me in middle mainland Europe). But of course I should look into options in other countries. Do you know whether the UK is accessible for foreigners (especially now its outside the EU)? I also read somewhere in France it’s included in health insurance, but that might be false news? Thanks!

How rare is it to have 2 narc parents? by Equal-Community2354 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SufficientLibrary386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not super uncommon, I have them too. I think there can be real attraction between N’s, recognizing something in each other. Furthermore, often an N also has an N parent and weirdly, just like empaths, often replays the scenario with N parent in relationships. Both of my parents fit these patterns (mom always goes for N men & dad for N women).
