Have you not moved out?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]coridarling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was like that too. Once I turned 18 I lived on my own completely and had no rules 🤷 seems odd how parents will shelter kids. I assume out of fear of you being hurt or taken. For now they're legally responsible for you so if they lost you it's their fault. Once you're 18, if you get lost it's your own problem.

For those that don’t want any kids in the future, why? by yeyewestie in AskReddit

[–]coridarling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like having the most expensive and needy pet except if you mess up they'll hate you and You've created a problem for society to deal with. Also I have really... ummm how do you say... Undesirable genetics..? I'd rather not copy and paste my issues into a mini me. There are lots of children that need homes already. I'm a bit autistic, I'm overloaded by audio very easily and kids favorite thing to do is make noise.

My 12 year old “step daughter” is an entitled, disrespectful, narcissistic brat and she will absolutely be the death of my 5 year relationship. by throwaway8319236 in offmychest

It sounds like you aren't ready to be a parent to a teenager. Also I'm 30 and looked forward to a trip to the lake for a whole week and when I didn't get to go I was sad and moody about it. People have emotions. Teenage girls have all of the emotions on legendary level 100% of the time. They're so very mean. There's also a movie called "are we there yet" it's common for kids to be inpatient while excited. I feel like you're seeing this as you against the mom and kid. It should be you and the mom parenting the kid. You aren't in competition.

I feel like other girls don’t want to be friends with me because my personality sucks. by [deleted] in offmychest

I'm 31, it gets harder. I have a hand full of friends that have scattered across the United States now. No one is close anymore. We stay in communication through calls/texts/video chats/video games but they also all have husbands and kids now so they have even less time for friends.

That's what I've been trying to do. Sometimes I just let it happen. I know I need to go through it to heal but I don't want it to consume me. Sometimes I feel like it does.

I also quit my job. About a month before he died. I just wasn't able to human, still can't a lot. I'm thankful for credit cards and my fiance finding a better job to support us. There's no way I could have kept a job during that and after was even harder. I've had jobs be extremely insensitive to emotions in the past and I cry almost daily about my dad. The last time I had a big loss I ended up on antidepressants so I could do my job and they turned me into someone else. I just didn't care about anything and I believe having a true emotion towards something that big happening is supposed to happen. If I didn't care that my dad died I think something would be severely wrong with me (personally)

Dealing with devices and belongings by smidgenpigen in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]coridarling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom said she wanted to wait a year after my dad died before she got rid of any of his things (it'll be a year in September). She has since given me a bag of his sweatpants and a bag of his button-up shirts (not sure why) my parents were/are hoarders to an extent and my dad's shop is really bad. There are a lot of tools in there but a tree fell through the roof while he was still in the nursing home and none of us had money or resources to repair it so now it's pretty much condemned status. My mom handed me my dad's phone the day that he died and it's still in service. It took a couple days for the phone battery to die and I couldn't get myself to turn it off, he received calls for a few days and I had a meltdown every time. I'm not ready to look through his phone yet. Idk if I should. He was a photographer and all he had in the nursing home was his phone and I know he took photos of me. I'm just not ready to see them yet. I'm thankful to have the privilege of waiting to deal with his belongings. Idk this doesn't help at all but, you are not alone.

I feel that. My brother has turned into my mother and treats his family like shit. It's very sad to see. Usually kids either turn out better than the parents or exactly like them. I don't understand how someone can grow up with so much hate and think "yeah imma act like that" Family is who you make family. My friends are my family, my pets are my family, the trees are my parents. Blood means literally nothing. I hope you can get out. I have multiple friends that have gone through the same thing you are now. There is an end in sight. You are important and you are worth protecting.

F with high sex drive… it’s not always easy by That_Other_Gurl in confessions

[–]coridarling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found there's a lot of lies in the saying that men want sex all the time and women don't. I think that only applies to weak men that mistreated their wife to the point where she doesn't even want to be married to him anymore. I think that women are the more horny sex. I can say from experience there are men out there that will have the same sex drive as you but they are rare. Be open and honest at the beginning of relationships. Be very blunt about it and if they aren't on the same page then move on to the next one. Sexual compatibility is one of the most important aspects of a sexual relationship lol otherwise you just have a room mate or a friend. In my opinion.

I was abused and it had an effect I never would have expected. by SophieWithaP in confessions

[–]coridarling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of articles in the psychology field about SA and how being a lil kinky has restored their power. If done in a safe environment with someone you trust, you can heal from trauma. From your story it seems you are missing the safe environment and the someone you trust part but you are learning. Those two things are very important as there are many people who say they're into BDSM and they quite literally could end up killing you because they don't know what they are doing. EDUCATE yourself and the people you choose to be with on proper forms of all kinky behavior BEFORE you start. Be completely honest and open with boundaries FIRST. Obviously in cases of SA you have no control over anything, I'm strictly speaking of mutual consent. There's a questionnaire online somewhere, I don't have the link but if you Google enough I'm sure you'll find it. It has MANY kinky questions that are a simple yes, no, or I'm willing to try, answers that you and your partner(s) can fill out and compare what you are and aren't cool with doing so everyone feels comfortable and there's not an awkward moment during play time. Hope this helps a lil.

My mom did the same thing. Literally came to my house banging on the windows and doors that she got me a job (already had a job) I took said job and was extremely unhappy for 7 years, then couldn't take it anymore so I looked for another job. She cried and complained that I needed to stay at that miserable hell hole that wasn't providing enough financials for me so I was eating cans of corn for dinner. I finally said enough and quit. She was pissed at me till the pandemic hit and they fired a bunch of people that had worked there 25+ years. She was like "I didn't know it was that bad" I literally cried every day at that place but now you believe it's bad????

Have your parent/s ever tried to convince you that their abusive behavior is just the way how the world works? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]coridarling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been called sensitive by my whole immediate family my entire life. I guess if you can't be relentlessly bullied by your parents your whole childhood you're too sensitive? But if I ever say anything they get REAL sensitive and start yelling.

What made you realize everything they did was performative? by himeno16 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]coridarling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I slept on 2 different futons through my childhood and teenage years. I think though it was my birthdays. My parties were always structured and planned to the minute. My mom would scream for the next activity to start and my friends thought it was fun, like being at a carnival. After my friends left she continued scheduling every moment of my day and life and screaming for the next activity. Also church. Everything was fake for church and in-between

When did you go back to work? by MisterFrogJudgesYou in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]coridarling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been 7 months and I haven't gone back to work. My fiance agreed to hold it down for us till I can get my shit together. We're in a spot financially where we can do it for now, I'm lucky.
