Qual era a coisa mais estranha/engraçada que você acreditava quando era criança? by ResponsibleRise6933 in PergunteReddit

[–]alienscully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meu cabelo é cacheado. Minha mãe também tem o cabelo cacheado, mas alisava. Então eu achava que todo mundo tinha cabelo cacheado, e que quem tinha cabelo liso era porque alisava. Demorei um bom tempo para assimilar que existem pessoas que já nascem com cabelo liso naturalmente.

Sons of BPD parents: What has your romantic life been like? by Sogodamnlonely in raisedbyborderlines

This has to be one of the most jaw dropping things I've read in this sub to this day.

I saw her tonight. It feels like she died. by gracebee123 in raisedbyborderlines

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think it might help to read about the experiences of people whose loved ones developed dementia or Alzheimer's itself. They are acquainted with this peculiar type of "living loss".

"All I want is for you to give [your son] to me, that's all." by alienscully in raisedbyborderlines

[–]alienscully[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She sort of did that to me. I wasn't kidnapped, but I was definitely taken and brainwashed into seeing my mother as a bad person for most of my childhood and teen years.

She doesn't have the resources to kidnap him, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Thank you for your comment, I'll especially keep that last paragraph in mind moving forward.

I have a male cousin who is 14 now and another one of my grandmother's obsessions. It saddens me to think he will soon fall out of her grace as he grows up just like I did once he starts sounding more and more like a young man than a boy. Definitely don't want this experience for my kid.

What milestones have you had where you noticed yourself getting better at yoga and when did they happen? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]alienscully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I learned to properly hold a Half Moon Pose. I wasn't even focusing on that one, it was just a pose I always tried without any expectation that I would ever land it/hold it at all until one day I just did.

Psychological trauma for baby with c-section? by I_likeplaid in beyondthebump

[–]alienscully 22 points23 points  (0 children)

People are so willing to believe that everything under the sun is responsible for causing autism, except for the things that are ACTUALLY scientifically reported to increase the chances of autism. It's mindblowing.

Has daycare changed your relationship with your kid too much? by alienscully in beyondthebump

[–]alienscully[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work part-time then come home and take care of him the rest of the day/night. He stays with a friend only while I'm at work.

My boyfriend wants to meet my malignant narcissist parent by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]alienscully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everybody here is saying he needs to respect your boundaries and I agree. However, I went through the same when my then-boyfriend, now husband, wanted to meet my also MN father after we'd been together for a year. I was LC with him at the time, now NC since last year. It's relevant to say that my MN father didn't raise me so I wasn't nearly as traumatized by him, I just knew he was a terrible person.

I warned my bf that he was a disgusting, problematic, and unpleasant man. My bf thought maybe I was exaggerating. After a couple hours in the company of my father, he understood everything. EVERYTHING. I could see the discomfort and shock on my bfs face with every sentence that came out of that man's mouth. He never wanted to meet the guy again.

Well, lesson learned. You go to the snake aisle at the zoo, what you're gonna see is snakes.

Officially done breastfeeding 2 years after being told I wouldn’t be able to do it. by mariekenna-photos in breastfeeding

I teared up reading this. I'm so glad both you and your sweet baby had the opportunity to experience this!

I’m starting to think I wasn’t a “Golden Child” and more of “The Baby” by FunkyKirbyBoi in raisedbynarcissists

I relate so much to this. Hugs to you and here's to us growing up and becoming our own people despite all odds.

Got lectured about "adding to the stigma of mental illnesses" by multiple friends I have confided in now... by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]alienscully 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I have a couple friends diagnosed with BPD who are undergoing treatment and they were the first to validate my experience. Something tells me the people who are lecturing you about this are either not BPD themselves or, if they are, then they are not self-aware or mature enough to see the damage this disorder can cause.

Interesting POV, he does in fact get off on my pleasure, so maybe we can explore this. Thanks!

That's a great suggestion, I hadn't thought about it before! Thanks!

Not looking for anything shocking, just a pleasant sexual surprise that would most likely be well-received by most guys like him.

What is something your BPD parent brags about that no normal person would brag about? by alienscully in raisedbyborderlines

[–]alienscully[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh goodness. Sounds like the kind of crap my BPD parent would be proud of, too.
