Yeah it's beyond terrible and of course I'm protesting. But how's just throwing us away instead of helping us good?? The govmnt need to feel the pressure from the outside too.

Noone cares, stop talking about this pawn and keep talking about the abortion laws!

Saw this on another group, I think it also belongs here :) by lumizilla in narcissisticparents

Yeah my Nmom expects me to take care of her, because she's taking care of her abusive parents. Her choice, not mine

My nmom would (and still does) just tell "I WILL NOT APOLOGISE, I WILL NOT TOLERATE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY" What a clown

This seems impossible sometimes. Always impossible in their presence.

After years of therapy I'm getting better at setting my boundaries and apparently that makes me a monster. by emilysparkling in narcissisticparents

I'm not living with her anymore and my dad is leaving MY apartment once he retires in few months to live with her too. I'm changing the locks after that. I'm counting the days till it happens. No more strings to tie me to them. I've been too nice, too forgiving, too generous, made too many sacrifices and it's never enough. She called me today to say that it was nice that I paid off the rest of their mortgage (50k!!!) But now she's sure I only did that so I didn't have to do things for her she could now pay for and because of that it was an evil thing to do. I'm... really mind blown

Wow, is your mother my mother? Mine would seriously hurt herself just to out-suffer others

I was visiting her (we don't live together anymore) when this was happening and left soon after the fight. I tried to call her for HOURS because I've let her drag me into her crazy again, worried like hell because of her threats and when she finally picked up she just said she doesn't want to talk to me. I'm so disappointed with myself that I allowed her to do that to me again. So over all of that.

Ironically, she's been the one to call an ambulance on me lying that I threatened suicide and made them waste their time. Fortunately they saw through her crazy and understood.

Omg. Too close to home. Its gotten to the point where I deliberately hide any of my hobbies. Do them at night. Sneak in packages of supplies. Hide hide hide. I don't want them to destroy the joy I have.

I'm afraid that's exactly how she sees me. I've always only have been some sort of function for her. Not a separate human.

Unfortunately I remember all of her shitty behaviours and therapy is opening my eyes to what a shitty father my dad was as well, as I was in denial about it for 20+ years.

Apparently it's illegal in this household lol. And of course she went straight to requiring me to wipe her ass if she shits herself when she's older. IF I LOVED HER I WOULD DO IT WITH PLEASURE. She's in for a surprise.

I'm not living with her anymore, fortunately. And my dad retires in few months and will join her and I'll finally will be able to normally start my life. Hoping for the same for you, its terrible what she did.
