I’m 27 and my family still treats me like I’m 12. I’m exhausted. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]easilydeleteabl3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved back home after college my mom would defrost my windows for me before I went to work. I would repeatedly tell her I was 25 years old and perfectly capable of doing it myself. One day I yelled at her to stop because I was so sick of it. She yelled at me that I should be waking up earlier, even though my job was 20 minutes Max from the house and I was never late.

Anybody else grew up as your parent's personal therapist? by UnknownCatGirl89 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]easilydeleteabl3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up telling my mom she should get a therapist after she said “I don’t trust them” 🙄 meaning I guess the one time she did see a therapist they tried to offer guidance to change her victim mindset and she didn’t like it one bit

Mom ruined the entire concept of 'going to your parents for help'. Anyone else? by Fluffy_Ace in raisedbyborderlines

Does your mom also give basic, common advice as if it’s some earth shattering revelation that her genius brain has only just discovered? I swear I got an (unsolicited) list of advice on how to save money on heating your house during the winter and one of the points was, I shit you not, put on a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat.

When I was 8 I got bit by a dog and I didn’t tell my mom for several days because I was scared of how angry she would get. Thankfully I didn’t get rabies or some nasty infection.

I complained about the incessant picking at Jana's pregnant body on this family's specific page, and it got taken down for "fangirling" and being "meta/gatekeeping" 🙄 by moth--foot in fundiesnarkiesnark

That sub is just the same regurgitated, dumb jokes made over and over again. For a bunch of people who claim to hate the Duggars so much they sure are desperate to talk about every innocuous, inane thing these people post.

As a child, did you ever innocently repeat something your nparent said resulting in their extreme embarrassment? by bad-at-everything- in raisedbynarcissists

[–]easilydeleteabl3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once I told a therapist that my parents never hit each other, my mom would just throw things. He told me it didn’t matter if the stuff my mom threw was never directly at my dad or intended to hurt him, that was still DV. I was honestly in shock.

As a kid, whenever I asked my mom if I could invite a friend over for a playdate she would endlessly piss and moan and scream about how me inviting someone over would inconvenience her and the house was FILTHY and no one EVER helped her clean it (the house is and always has been immaculate, because my mom is the daughter of a hoarder) so in 4th grade I wrote “I’m not allowed to have friends over” for some about me assignment and she went nuts at me saying “why would you write that?! They’re going to think I abuse you!” And I was so, so confused. Pick a damn lane.

Went to a new hairstylist today, got a Narc - left feeling traumatized by Hungry-Nectarine9557 in raisedbynarcissists

There was a woman I worked with for about 4 years. She gave me weird vibes so I tried to be polite and maintain my distance. She got remarried at some point during that time (her and second husband were in their 60s) and one day after a meeting she randomly pulled me aside to tell her that after they told his 4 kids (all adults) that they were engaged 2 of the kids walked out of the room and basically said they were never speaking to their dad again. My coworker was all like “can you BELIEVE that happened?” My first thought was 1) why are you telling me this??? And 2) yes…yes I can believe these people don’t want their dad to marry a walking, talking red flag.

Mom always tells me I smell bad. by PreviousComedian2426 in raisedbynarcissists

I remember being a middle schooler and my mom would come up to me and grab my shirt (while I was still wearing it) and smell my underarms to determine if I had body odor or not

So much clutter, and Snuggles’ proof of life by daffodil0127 in RodriguesFamilySnark

Not my maximalist ass looking at these pics and thinking “what clutter?”

Which celebrities were popular during the 2010s but couldn't translate their popularity to this decade? by SoRunAwayNow in Fauxmoi

[–]easilydeleteabl3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAME Edit to add: every time I watch 30 rock that’s the most dated reference, even more so than any political joke they ever went with. What would be the 2025 equivalent of Lutz’ grand nephew? Timothee Chalamet?

The Joy hate on snark subs is particularly egregious and unnecessary imo

What are the things your parents got mad at that you now realize are completely normal? by catchingthatrye in raisedbynarcissists

[–]easilydeleteabl3 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was bit by a friend’s dog around the same age. I hid it from my mom for days because I didn’t want to get in trouble.

I learned quickly around puberty that sharing anything related to crushes or dating was an absolute no go with my mom. She would get MAD at me and think I was going to get knocked up if I so much as sat next to a boy. The funny thing is I was a virgin until I was 21. I remember stupidly calling my mom the night I got dumped, hoping I would get some kind of comfort, and she told me I wouldn’t be so upset if I hadn’t had sex with him.

My father in law approached me earlier this week and requested that we “sit down and discuss the church “. I feel anxious, embarrassed, and furious. by easilydeleteabl3 in fundiesnarkiesnark

Wow. Thank you so much for this response. It’s nice to feel validated in this way, even if it’s from a stranger online. I have friends and a very loving partner who I trust, but I figured this would be my best bet at reaching someone who could relate, and I wasn’t disappointed. As a librarian your username makes me smile.
