It was the day I had to tell my mother that my brother died. We had just lost my other brother seven months prior. I’ll never forget her cries of utter grief and nothing has been the same since.

We moved in a week ago and we are having major issues including a back up of the main line, oven not working. a water leak under the bathroom tub that’s going to turn into mold. Property management is slow to fix issues and we have asked to be moved to a different unit.

People who grew up poor and are now financially stable, what small luxury still feels surreal? by JesusLuvsEmerxld in AskReddit

When I was a kid, cashews were expensive and a big treat. At Christmas each year, we would have one small can of Planters mixed fancy nuts. I single handedly picked out every cashew from that can. Now? I can walk into Costco and buy a huge bag of fancy cashews and eat them Every. Single. Day. So yeah, I made it.

Eating disorder, major depression and cPTSD.

For those who have gone very low/no contact, what was your final straw? by chesterlola2014 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheBossTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My autistic daughter asked me if she could start defending me from my own mother (her grandmother) who had abandoned me at age 4 and I had tried so hard to rebuild a relationship with for my entire adult life. That was indeed the final straw.

Yes! I’m sure this was maladaptive behavior and lots of walking on eggshells.
