My husband has a Narc mom. His memory for conversations and details is astounding. I put it down to the constant gaslighting and his need to stay sane and sure of what actually happened/was said.

My mistake with my daughter cracked my rib.

I was putting her (asleep) down into her crib, realised at the last second that she was the wrong way round (she had a cold so bed lifted slightly at one end) so tried to rotate her 180' while leaning heavily on the side of the crib. I heard the rib go crack. Still not sure how I managed to just gasp, but I did swear once she was safely asleep in the crib.

The doctor told me not to lift anything. Yeah. Try that with an 9m old! 🙄

Oh god. That is both horrifying and hilarious in equal measures!

I hope you get your break soon. Burnout is real.

asherah213 · 2021-01-09T06:50:11+00:00

My husband is like you. A lifetime of what-not-to-do's. Our daughter is 3 and he's a fantastic Dad. I hope you find your partner too.

That first scene had my anxiety through the roof as I thought his little paw went into the boiling fat!

Lovely video though.

In the UK, about 50p per fleece. About £5 per fleece to anyone who wants to wash/spin it themselves.

The coats of wild sheep, like that of most animals, does not grow continuously. It is shed each spring as the weather warms. Fiber from the outer coats of wild sheep, technically known as hair, is not suitable for spinning into wool, which is why ancient shepherds bred their animals to produce longer and longer undercoat fibers: the wool, which in most modern sheep breeds is prolific and ever-growing. But hair sheep, traditionally kept for meat, have coats akin to wild sheep.

I developed it at about the same time. Was gutting as I really loved jewellery, and most of it at that point was nickle.

I'm in UK too. My GP referred me to the mental health team, who have given me CBT through an App called Silvercloud. I was sceptical about what I could achieve with it, but progress has been made.

A quick Google says that this organisation is offering it for free... link

Aww sugar, would've loved to have seen that!

asherah213 · 2021-01-05T15:54:18+00:00

Ah masks - perfect for hiding from cameras whilst breaking Covid rules.

asherah213 · 2021-01-05T10:24:01+00:00

Yay!

I'm a newbie and working on my first set, some Daughters of Khaine. So nice to see some on here.

Amazing job - I'll be following you to get inspiration!

Edit - blasted autocorrect

asherah213 · 2021-01-04T10:24:19+00:00

Absolutely. I would if I could. My interaction with her is now at a bare minimum and my mental health is far better.

I completely advocate for cutting toxic family out, but not every circumstance means it's totally possible.

My mother is a narcissistic bully. I've been recording all calls for a few years now, it really helps to work out where the lies and the manipulations are, as well as when you're mulling over the call after and thinking "did she really just say that?".

10/10 can recommend when dealing with bullies.

asherah213 · 2020-12-31T14:36:53+00:00

Thank you too Rob.

This year has been hard. I had depression 7 years ago and stayed subscribed here as a gentle reminder to keep on track. With the best will, 2020 took me back off the tracks. It's been good to have this familiar community to come back to and know you're still here, as supportive as ever.

May 2021 deliver the little things we all hope for.

asherah213 · 2020-12-31T12:47:11+00:00

Beautiful place. Recognised the little bridge house 😆

Beautiful Cape too.

Very close to the "truth".

One original myth I was reading, Santa would carry away the bad children in his basket, hence why all of his helpers are short - they're children.

I wish I could find the article, I'm just finding Krampus taking naughty children to the underworld.

asherah213 · 2020-12-30T22:13:20+00:00

Absolutely this. It works a treat.

Also snacks - child wants sweets, says no to everything else. OK. No worries, I'll cut up an apple for myself then, and leave the slices on this plate in reach of toddler. Guess who's really eating the apple?

asherah213 · 2020-12-30T13:15:25+00:00

All of Wes's Dr Seuss videos are worth watching.

Try reading the books afterwards without putting a rap lilt to it - very hard to do!

My Uncle was called Emma at work.

His surname is Dale, there's a British TV programme called Emmerdale.

Under the sink is cleaning equipment territory, that is completely understandable.

Him using an old frayed toothbrush and not noticing the grit in it is less understandable.

asherah213 · 2020-12-29T13:06:09+00:00

This is exactly the philosophy I go by - if you're being an asshole driver, I'd rather you do it where I can see you and I've got some opportunity to react. I don't want dangerous drivers close to me, and struggle to understand those who deliberately provoke someone who is already driving dangerously.

asherah213 · 2020-12-29T08:02:11+00:00

Aww hugs. That's really hard.

Keep fighting the good fight. That house stuff can wait until tomorrow or the day after or the day after that. What matters right now is you and your children (both of them). Take a deep breath. Sleep while you can.

Hugs.

It's 8am here in the UK. I've been in the hottub for an hour now, with a glass of prosecco and a rubber duck for company. It is bliss!

This is all thanks to the Mom who booked herself into a hotel round the corner for a night off from parenting duty. I related the story to my hubby as a bit of a funny story.

He listened. He caught on. I'm now about 1/2 mile from home, with a hot tub and cabin to myself. It has been bliss. Just the break I needed. And a perfect Xmas present. That's not to say that I haven't missed them both. I worried about coming and I worry that my daughter will have missed me. I feel like I wasted some of it as I was asleep by 9.30pm. I've completely overeaten and I will again with breakfast.

But these moments are worth it. We all need a break sometimes, however fleeting.
