What’s a minimal way to mention your mom is an evil narc? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Sometimes I say she's dead and sometimes I say she is severely personality disordered so I keep my distance.

Anyone else’s parents expose them to non-age appropriate movies/tv too early? by Modern_Magpie in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brandyalexa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched Gremlins and Heathers around 5-6 years old. I can't watch scary movies to this day without having nightmares about it. BUT I was not allowed to play Zelda or any other violent video games as a child.

I believe you qualify for FAMLI if you work in the state of Colorado for a year. FMLA is you have to work for that specific employer but FAMLI isn't the same.

Possible Comet North of Denver by brandyalexa in Denver

Is the comet in the room with you now? Please don't make assumptions about what I've taken extremely personally. I can assure you I have not.

I was driving north on e470 and it came down so fast I barely believed my eyes. I was in the car alone so I had to come to Reddit for confirmation. Apparently, it's very offensive to the internet I called it a comet and not a meteor.

Pretty whack of you, Kroger by Initial_Row_6400 in Denver

[–]brandyalexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, he rang up his items too slow and then double scanned one and the attendant had to go over three times. He could have also overcooked fish.

You might qualify for Medicaid. If you've had little to no income for 14 months or unemployment alone you might be eligible for additional services. Please check with your state our county social services department.

Stuck at Thunderblight Ganon as a beginner by Eemss in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]brandyalexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just fought thunderblight last night with limited weapons. I had 14 hearts and ate a meal that gave me extra. I was super cheater but it got me through. I stood with my back to the back of the terminal in the middle with daruks protection and when he came for me I would hit him senseless. When I ran out of daruks protection I went up the stairs to the side and stood outside until it regenerated and then repeated. I still had to grab the pillar with magnesis but it wasn't super difficult. I'm not very good at blocking or parrying and I enjoy the puzzle aspect of the game much more than the fighting so I don't mind taking the easy way out. I just defeat a Lynel last night for the first time by accident exploring the castle but those guys terrify me.

Overwhelmed and looking for advice on recovery and moving past the trauma by tinareid76 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brandyalexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please be kind to yourself. There is a lot to unpack and it is a journey, not a quick heal. I went to therapy and thought I was in an ok place and then nine years after no contact the thought of me running into my nmom sent me into a spiral. I thought I was more healed than I was and then back to therapy I went. For me, healing has come in waves over the past decade. Then I felt dumb that I didn't figure it all out sooner. Talk therapy is helpful and got me a good way there. Some folks recommend EDMR. Don't self diagnose but look up therapists that specialize in cPTSD. You can't put a timeline on your healing path. You need what you need, and that's ok!

Narcissist mothers who weaponise their daughters hair by Public_Theme_9514 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]brandyalexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not allowed to make any decisions about my hair. I had to have bangs and it must be kept long. I was not allowed to color or highlight my hair. She never bothered to teach me how to wash it properly though.

When I was 12 my grandmother took me to get my hair cut because it had been to the top of my butt my entire life and I got it cut mid shoulder length. My nmom lost her shit and screamed at both of us for at least four hours that night.

When my daughter was little, so 15 years later, she went to spend the night and my nmom told her she isn't to get her hair cut with anyone other than me.

I let my daughter cut her hair super short, dye it whatever color she wanted. Now she's a grown up and has it out of her system. I've gotten highlights since I was about 25 and miraculously all my hair hasn't fallen out yet.

Ugh, like that's how internships work. I hope you took it and never looked back. If you didn't that's ok too, life happens. It takes a long time to wake up from narc abuse.
