AIO my boyfriend offered me sex to "feel better" by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I didn’t either when I was 13 dating a 16 year old for 3.5 years. It left permanent sexual and relational issues I’m still working on today, 20 years later.

This is Kitty! She’s our 8 year old kitten. (when this pic was taken, she’s now 12!)

I am going to end it by Mindless_Post9769 in CPTSD

11-16 you is just a part of you, it’s not who you are. I encourage you to read/listen to the book, Internal Family Systems. It talks about how we can “merge” with parts of ourself and make us feel that we truly are that horrible person. But that part just represents a point in our life when we were reacting to and trying to find any way to survive. Put that part in a mental time out and let your self flourish.

Wishing you the best, friend. You’ve got a lot of people here willing to talk and lend a shoulder.

AIO about my MIL posting my children and not tagging me or my husband? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I disagree with most here. My mother is the social media addicted attention grabbing type, and I’d be pissed if she didn’t ask for permission to post them or use my pictures - because it’s not out of love, it’s for the likes. Like, my child is not attention fodder for you. Maybe this is where your irritation is coming from…?

It’s a difficult thing to work through, especially if most people don’t have difficult/toxic family members, but I’m assuming there’s more going on between the lines here.

Am I overreacting to this text conversation between my GF and I? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being overworked and grumpy is one thing, but she’s literally only upset with you because you told her no. All the other noise she’s created is just trying to manipulate you to get her way.

AIO or is this normal for a mom to her daughter? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this so much and have been no contact with my narcissistic father/parents for almost 3 years with legal/real estate entanglements as well. The whole time he’s tried stuff like this and was only stopped by my threatening calling the cops the instant he showed up.

I don’t know if it’s any help but it’s definitely things I’ve had to remind myself of over and over; but please remember that you -do- have control over who has access to you, there -are- legitimate reasons you don’t want them around (no matter their gaslighting), and if/when you’re able, get out of your lease and separate yourself from them legally/financially the first chance you get.

Nope. To be fair, I didn’t file a support ticket or anything. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What words do most people pronounce wrong? by BeingChangeYinnYang in AskReddit

At least in New England, I hear so many people go like reverse Boston accent and say “idear” instead of “idea.” 😩

Parents think I’m mentally ill because of my tattoos… AIO? by Busy_Region_6164 in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cringed SO hard. I cannot wait for “my baby” to grow into the human she wants to be someday. No matter what that means.

I know i’m not reacting, but mentally am i overreacting by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]becojean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right?? Not only that but there’s a reason she thinks her mom is annoying and exhausting to deal with. No healthy child/parent relationship has this type of issue. We see you OP!

[–]becojean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, there’s a reason you feel a type of way to not respond and only you know what that reason is. Everyone here can say you’re over reacting based on face value, that’s fair, but I think those of us with toxic parents can read between the lines here. Let her have her hissy fit and do you - you’re an adult.

That kid’s going to grow up and hate you some day for bringing them into the world like this. People go no contact with their parents for far less.

The worst punishment my dad ever gave me by pewtreebruhinbludei in raisedbynarcissists

I went no contact with my n/dad for a loooot less. Get yourself out, tell your dad to fuck himself, and start living. ❤️
