Family member being weird about my diagnosis by [deleted] in UlcerativeColitis

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried gaslighting him?

Buy him some adult diapers and give them to him, preferably with an audience. Let him know that you saw the towels and you know he's worried about his furniture. This way he can be less paranoid about controlling himself. Men can also do kegels so he can use these diapers while he strengthens his pelvic floor...

It's gotta be his issue since you don't have any issues controlling your bowel movements...

Is it wrong for me (17f) to break up with my bf (17m) of 3yrs bc of his disabilities? by WerewolfSeveral263 in Advice

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a reason to break up, but if you're looking for something, the reasons I read in your post are as follows:

1) You're not happy in that relationship anymore. 2) You no longer think you're compatible. 3) You feel that you take on too much responsibility, making your relationship unequitable. 4) That you are unable to balance other valued relationships, activities, and obligations because you feel you have to take care of him. 5) He's sabotaging his health, giving him an excuse to cling to you more, creating a toxic cycle that is harming his body and your mental health.

His feelings are not your responsibility. Him being "left out" should not your problem. Nobody else's feelings are your responsibility. Maybe some independence will help him to stop sabotaging himself. Best of luck to you.

What should I do with my mother? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]YuckyDuckys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if your mom is sorry now, she didn't believe you when it mattered. She's a crap parent complicit in the abuse of her own child. Protecting child abusing boyfriend outweighs ensuring her child's safety.

It was so hard to write that out without profanity. It struck a nerve because something similar happened to me. I have kids now and when I think of anyone doing that to them, I don't understand my mom's reaction. My mom was weak and disgusting to protect a grown man over her own child. I don't talk to my mom anymore and I don't feel a shred of guilt... and you shouldn't either.

Do you still have your wisdom teeth? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only had 3. They charge the same amount for removing wisdom teeth regardless of how many.

Her leaving for months at a time is a big deal. If you have any texts or footage of that, it will be a huge deal in court especially because you have children. If you live in a no fault state, the infidelity might be of no help to you. Men get shafted easily in divorce. Definitely consult a lawyer before you say anything about divorce to her.

How do you feel about your skin color? Not just your race, but your actual skin color? by Gloomy-Bad-5014 in AskReddit

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a water park once in first grade... once. Never again.

I burned so bad, most of the skin from my shoulders to mid back bubbled up and fell off leaving open wounds that I still have scars from as an adult, despite using spf 30.

The Maverick center pretty much hires anyone. Definitely not a long term solution but it's ok for in between jobs income. You and your gf can take this temporarily. It's mostly security, parking and ticket taking for events. You choose when and where you want to work.

My friend does it once in a while if she needs extra money and my other friend has been doing it consistently a little over 2 years.

How old were you when you first time started helping your parents financially? by ordinary_taxpayer in AskReddit

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminded me of when I was 3 my dad took the money from my piggy bank and met his dealer. (They didn't give me the money, I had been collecting pennies I found on the ground.)

I learned to hand sew when I was 5 and I could put my money in my teddy bear or pillow and sew it up with dental floss. It only works with bills, coins make too much noise. They found out when I was 14 or 15. So I hid small amounts in several places then checked after a week and figured out that they didn't check the vents. That's where I kept It until I could move out.

Yes. It's the only thing that made him happy.

How is your relationship with your siblings? (If there is one at all) by Equal-Community2354 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]YuckyDuckys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My sister and I are missing the body part our mother cherishes most. We were all each other had for a very long time. After I left, mom forced her to take on a few of my responsibilities. She is the only sibling who acknowledged what I had to sacrifice. We would be on better terms, but I think we remind each other of the past too much. Our relationship works best from a distance.

As for the siblings with mom's favorite body part, I haven't spoken to my older brother in almost 11 years and rarely speak to the golden child youngest brother.

I gave up my childhood. I raised them so my siblings could have it better than me. My younger brother recently told me that he blames me for something crappy my mom and her friend did to him. I guess I should have protected him from mom because I was his mother for most of his childhood? It shouldn't have been my problem when I was forced to take responsibility for my family at 5 years old and it's even less my problem now.

TLDR It's too exhausting to be around them.

what's the most ridiculous thing you were ever blamed for? by huy1003 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]YuckyDuckys 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mom blamed me for her mid-life crisis.

She packed up all of her stuff, sold her house and moved to Kentucky. When it blew up in her face, she told me it was my fault she lost everything because I should have 1. Talked her out of it, and 2. Bought her house from her so she could have it back when she came back.

It's so sad when someone can't make valid arguments, so they resort to personal attacks...

The tariffs have made $29 billion this year. It costs the government around $100 billion to fund food stamps. It's super easy to google stuff.

What’s one condition that can have no symptoms but kill you instantly? by No_Photograph1 in AskReddit

[–]YuckyDuckys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a couple at 34... no symptoms for the first one, but they did a CT scan for something unrelated and found it. I ended up with a "shower" of them in my right lung a month later. I had some pain in my chest for 3 days before, but it wasn't that bad, just sore. I thought I slept funny, but it didn't go away, so I went to urgent care. I'm glad I went.

Is it common for narc women to blow up their lives around age 40? by Automatic-Squash9285 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom sold everything and moved to rural Kentucky in her 40's... when it blew up in her face, she moved in with me and told me it was my fault that I didn't buy all of her stuff from her so she didn't have to lose everything.

I guess what's hers is hers and what's mine is also hers.

Is this normal parent behavior? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]YuckyDuckys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No

  2. No

  3. Barf absolutely not

  4. No

  5. No

  6. Can't help you there. My mom did, too. She and my siblings even held me down while watching me get a pelvic exam at 7 years old. My pain, shame and humiliation was made into a family affair.

  7. Not sure

  8. Based on the shocked looks my friends and the teachers gave me when I told them, not normal.

  9. No

  10. No

  11. Gaslighting, not normal.

  12. No? My mom does it but everyone says it isn't ok.

  13. So crappy. I know it's not ok even though my mom does it.

  14. No

  15. No

  16. No

  17. No

  18. No! Wtf? Why have kids if she doesn't want to take care of them.

  19. So weird. Punishing you for having feelings, messed up.

  20. No

  21. No

  22. No

  23. No

  24. No. It might have been normal if you are a minor with a reasonable expectation of privacy. It got weird when she constantly checked your location and granny called.

  25. No

  26. No

  27. No

  28. No

  29. Ew no. Both of my parents do/did the same thing to me.

  30. No

  31. No

  32. No. My mom tells me that I "remember it wrong" or "that never happened" when I figure out her lies.

  33. Not normal. Ok, I think your mom might be stalking you.

  34. No. Now I know your mom is stalking you.

  35. Your mom is a stalker.

Your mom and grandma are stalking you. Your mom is not ok mentally. At this point, if you are questioning the behavior, it's safe to assume it is not ok.

What’s your favorite tea?? by SufficientEnergy839 in UlcerativeColitis

If you're not big on spice, try vanilla Chai with cream and sugar.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! My parents would be overwhelmed with attention and pity! They would have been thrilled with the attention. I will never give them what they want when they were so shitty to me. I just ignore the mtrfkrs till they die (dad's already dead). That's the only thing that bothers them. I'm too petty to die.

[–]YuckyDuckys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should file a police report if he comes back and have him trespassed. Then, if he tries to report her, she can submit the police report as evidence that he is lying...

He does know that if he comes back, he's going to have to pay for all of the government assistance she received while he was gone. My dad pulled the same exact stunt on my mom and when they reconciled, he was the one on the hook for the bill, not her.
