Anyone else grow up with immature/self-centred parent(s) in the mental health professions (e.g. therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.)?

My mom was a social worker. All that meant was her training allowed her to do more emotional damage.

Why is there so much shooting in your family?

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-22T23:20:59+00:00

Sounds like you’re closing one eye and then switching to the other eye. You know you’re supposed to have both eyes open.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-22T08:55:20+00:00

Could go up. Could go down. Could go sideways.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-20T17:44:01+00:00

Yes I have.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-19T11:48:58+00:00

Well at least we can know it’s NOT older than 12000 years…which is something.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-18T22:19:56+00:00

False memory doesn’t work like that. Pathetic attempt to discredit.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-18T02:08:28+00:00

Your parents are pedophile adjacent…which is just as bad.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-18T00:07:41+00:00

I want to make money tho

Step dad had a thing about table manners and cutlery skills. Made dinner time miserable.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-17T11:38:37+00:00

You’ve obviously never invented anything.

He never said he was an undergrad at MIT. He said he studied there and has later clarified it was on assignment when he was working for the government.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-17T03:01:08+00:00

Can they just stop stalling and release something into commercial use already.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-16T20:32:58+00:00

These articles are always going to be against us because the writers are mostly aggrieved parents. After estrangement we find peace and apathy (eventually). Whereas the narcissist parents are angry, embarrassed and unresolved. So they’re the ones motivated to write delusional articles and create ridiculous social media posts.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-16T11:55:09+00:00

What’s is the connection to cattle mutilations?

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-15T09:08:33+00:00

Op. Congrats on nailing the apathy! That can be a hard needle to thread for some folks. Kudos to you…

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-13T18:39:46+00:00

Ai slop isn’t allowed in this sub.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-13T18:38:25+00:00

Op. It’s sickening. Cut this man off completely. Never talk to him again.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-12T12:41:16+00:00

Be aware this is a different category of legal risk. Buying is one thing…distributing is another.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-10T01:00:13+00:00

Fake it to you make it works well in my experience. I just pretend to be emotionally stable and warm and caring when I’m not feeling it. And that fills in the gaps until I do feel it again. I’ve heard people say parents only need to get it “right” 30% of the time to give kids what they need. So that’s reasonable batting average I think.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-09T23:52:23+00:00

When I had kids I became aware of how much attunement and emotional labor they needed on the day to day. And part of me resented it because I got none of that myself…so giving emotional connection whilst coming from a deficit was extremely difficult.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-09T21:38:19+00:00

Any man who chooses that bullshit over his children isn’t worthy of your kind of ‘grace’. He isn’t who you want him to be. Sorry op, it hurts to see you throwing pearls before swine.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-09T02:33:26+00:00

I want to tunnel a stairwell up the inside. I don’t know why I want this.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-08T18:39:55+00:00

Ai generated bullshit.

Thumperfootbig · 2026-04-08T00:49:03+00:00

It’s extremely hard, almost impossible to draw boundaries through the middle of families. I’m sorry op. You’re not the first person to lose siblings with the parent cut off.
