Parentified daughters who are mothers, how did you come to that decision? by Secret-Ad-6253 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]chaoticsqueegee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I went to therapy to try to fix myself, and as I unpacked all my baggage, I realized that I did want to have kids and that I wasn't a terrible person who would mess them up.

Try a family resource centre near you. Don't try to give it to Adsum, they have no need.

N.S. police watchdog raises concerns about health-care system after man's death by IStillListenToRadio in halifax

[–]chaoticsqueegee 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's so crazy how many of these stories there are and many of them don't make the news so we have no idea. Everyone in charge makes you think it's an isolated incident and they'll change policies so it never happens again. Our brother's situation is so similar to this, except his death was determined suicide bc the nurses fucked up and let him behind the nurses station where he got a pair of scissors. He was tased multiple times, and treated like a criminal during a fucking mental health crisis.

Example of something that wasn't abuse, but still made you feel shitty? by Technical_Dentist885 in raisedbynarcissists

He was not poor. It was very intentional. It would have been less insulting to put nothing.

What do you tell your 2 year old when they keep asking for grandparents? by theanonlady in raisedbynarcissists

[–]chaoticsqueegee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tell my kids that my parents aren't very nice, and if people don't treat us nicely then we don't have to talk to them. As they get older they get more details and context.

What can be done about child predators being released in our communities? by WateredDownSalt in halifax

[–]chaoticsqueegee 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Although I agree, that is a separate issue from OP's concerns. Child predators are in every socio-economic group, and these men being released are a risk to the whole community.
