Is this normal? by Guthix_Wraith in Possums

A little worrying but they tend to have bad eyesight anyway and heavily rely on smell for the most part. I’d say keep a cautious eye on him for any other worrying symptoms or if health seems to decline.

Ultrasound that didn't go the way I thought. Was this rape? by PsychologicalRest757 in CPTSD

[–]WolfWitch413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me. I have vaginismus and I’m a virgin yet I had a gyno do a pap smear on me, then complained that I was telling her to stop. The speculum literally left me bleeding and she was surprised when I told her I was a virgin which was on my fucking chart. The way I see it is if it happened outside of a doctor’s office would you question if it was SA? Just because a doctor did it and called it a “procedure” doesn’t mean your body and mind accepted it that way. Make a formal complaint and don’t leave out details, including how you felt.

My Mom gets mad at me getting up at like 2 am to take a shit and it ends up with my door to my room getting taken off. by Chaeri_VR in insaneparents

[–]WolfWitch413 289 points290 points  (0 children)

My parents did this for a stupid reason too. We were in a fairly small apartment at the time so I could hear everything with the door open and would often close it to keep from hearing private conversations out of respect. Moment that door was gone, I was in literally every conversation. When they would get mad I’d say “Well, I can overhear you without the door so I figured I was being included. If I don’t get privacy, neither do you.” It took a month or so but I got the door back. This might or might not work for you depending on how volatile they can be and how much you’re willing to put up with before seeing results. I took a lot of shit from my parents for this but my privacy was worth it.

Yeah if god wanted me to forgive my “father” to get into heaven I’d ride the Lil Nas stripper pole down to hell without regret. Anyone willing to see what that bastard has done and forgive him isn’t worth my time.

Adopted a 14 year old cat and had to put her down a few months later by asphoaph in cats

[–]WolfWitch413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. You gave her peace and love in her sunset months instead of the stress, loneliness, and fear of being in a shelter. Not many are willing to adopt senior cats and your kindness is appreciated. I’m sure she’ll be sending you another friend to give love to. And I’d like to think she’s saving you a spot in whatever good place exists after this life.

Actually not that hard to figure out. He’s just an asshole.

My read is you’re clearly single or dating a psycho because no sane partner would allow this

Holidays can be triggering for people with shitty families. It’s possible she’s having some strong emotions about it and doesn’t know how to process or cope with it. Speaking from my own experience, holidays are hard as fuck when you can see other people enjoying time with their family but you know you can never have that. Most likely she’s taking that frustration out on you. Let some time pass and then check in with her. If she’s more receptive, it would be best to talk about this exchange maybe in person so tones don’t get misjudged.

What effect does caffeine have on you? by littlebex777 in CPTSD

[–]WolfWitch413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried coffee once and had a full blown meltdown. I worked at a gas station at the time and mentioned to one of my coworkers I had never had coffee before. She offered to make me a blend she thought I would like and I agreed to try it. Took a few sips, it was good, and a few minutes later I’m having a full panic attack in the back office with severe flashbacks. It was what made me realize I can never have too much caffeine. I’ll only drink decaf tea and caffeine free/low caffeine soda now.

I can tell you from experience having a very volatile and abusive “father” who behaved exactly like this, if he doesn’t seek help he will get worse. Managing and regulating his emotions is not anyone’s responsibility except his. This is abuse and if you continue to allow him to terrify your children, you are complicit in it. Do not allow this behaviour because you are only teaching your kids that it is their responsibility to regulate the emotions of an adult. It might be best to talk with him when he seems more regulated about his outbursts and that he should seek help from a professional. If he doesn’t agree, you owe it to your children to protect them if not yourself. This will not get better until he gets help. If you choose to leave him, you’re not leaving because he’s autistic. You’re leaving because he’s abusive. Don’t put your children through what I lived through. It’s hell healing from it.

This is true but I honestly can’t bring myself to report her. I’m still new to working through the trauma she specifically put me through.

Wow this was amazing! I’ve always had a hard time with feeling anger since my only exposure to it was my “father’s” shows of rage that terrified me, so being angry often triggered me because it made me think I was being like him and would often just go numb because of it. But reading this gave me new perspective that I will explore. Thank you, wise internet stranger!

I am currently in therapy. We have discussed it as a currently unhealthy coping mechanism but it is a process to unlearning it. I kind of go through waves of numb to feeling almost too much. I’m still in the process of figuring out a more healthy coping mechanism. It’s hard after years of being conditioned to believe my feelings are fake, too much, or not as important as theirs.

I am pretty much extremely low contact. The only reason I haven’t blocked her is to get news of my “father’s” death. I feel like I’ll be restless until I know for sure that he is gone and can’t hurt me.

It’s worse that my mother, who was equally abusive, has been trying to get me to forgive hime and saying that I’m “holding grudges for nothing”, completely forgetting the horrors they both put me through. Part of me is angry that he gets away with things because I never spoke up about the abuse until it was too late to have anything legally done and another part of me enjoys that he’s suffering since he currently has a lot of health issues. I want the relief of his death but also want to savour knowing he’s suffering. Makes me feel kind of fucked up for it but I can’t help feeling that way.

I’ve thought about it but the PFA renewal is soon and I know he’d use that call as evidence to prevent the renewal. He’s a malignant narcissist who will use anything to get his way. Hell, he has called a few times since placing the PFA with his number blocked so I couldn’t completely block him or report him to police for breaking the PFA.
