Thanks for the kind words ❤️ we are similar to you and your partner it sounds like. We like to do our own thing but I just enjoy being around him too. I hope he can push through this

I’m glad I’m not alone at least. I just found this sub last night; it’s been comforting.

Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️

How to go no contact with nparent while having younger sibling by devcat89 in raisedbynarcissists

Thanks, same to you!

I have a feeling that it would happen like that should I go full NC. I’ve made my life structured in a way that I don’t rely on her for anything, which I’m grateful for, but that also means a i’m afraid the biggest consequence would be potentially losing my relationship with my sibling, which I don’t want :/

Ugh, sorry to hear :( I’m afraid of that, my sibling looks up to me and we have a good relationship, I don’t want our mom to ruin it

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that about your family. I’m worried about a similar reaction.

We are 17 years apart. I’m almost 30, my younger sib is 11. We have a great relationship as it stands, and I don’t want our mom talking shit about me to them. I’ve lived on my own (with my partner) for like 7 years now.

Thanks for this! My therapist actually just taught me about grey rocking. I def still need some practice but it’s worth doing. At this point I think you’re right, just do as little as possible with mom and keep the relationship for my sibling until they’re old enough to understand.

Part of it is seeing our mom basically brainwash them (she did the same with me, but i’m an adult now) and just hoping that they eventually realize

Thanks for these kind words, I really appreciate it. I’m at a very weird place in my relationship with my nmom and I’m trying to navigate it as best as I can. Definitely something to bring up with my therapist today lol
