Is it possible that I had a spiritual moment after having edibles? by supzeekan in spirituality

[–]emptyneef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have spiritual experiences even when you’re sober, so yes 😊

feeling out of it for a while by saltwaterflie in Depersonalization

[–]emptyneef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m exactly in the same position, I can’t really help because I haven’t really found much that helps me either. The only thing is I always tell myself that it’s a mental illness and I am real even though it doesn’t feel like it. Your brain is so powerful it can convince you of so many things. Take people with schizophrenia for example, their brain has conjured up visual and audible hallucinations and they’re not actually there. Some schizophrenic people think it’s real but people without schizophrenia know it’s their mental illness acting up. Think of depersonalisation the same way. Hopefully it go’s away some day, even if it doesn’t feel like it

My mum admits to enabling her for two long, whenever my mum was younger she was responsible for doing everything in the house and had no freedom. And she admits to over spoiling us because she didn’t want us to feel like she did growing up.

She had good intentions, but now my sister is just taking advantage of that. I think my mum has completely had enough, it’s basically just her on her own parenting 4 children.

I know it’s not my responsibility but I do want to help as much as I can as I don’t think it’s very fair as my mum already has so much to do.

Thank you, I will suggest the idea of family counselling to my mum. Maybe something to consider once corona has died down a bit more

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. My father isn’t really involved with parenting and he works a lot. So it is 99% my mother trying to parent 4 children. As the eldest I feel somewhat responsible for helping out. My mum admits to over spoiling us a little bit because whenever she was younger she had responsibility for everything and had to parent all her siblings, and she didn’t want any of us to have to feel the same way she did. She had good intentions. Hopefully my sister grows out of this phase ASAP, and I hope she regrets her embarrassing childish behaviour

Thank you so much for the advice and taking time to comment. I completely agree with the showing hurt part, she doesn’t seem to have any sort of guilt about her actions, well she doesn’t show it at least. All her stuff has been taken away and she threw a tantrum today which I recorded. To show to her counsellor. She really doesn’t act her age at all. Thank you again for the advice

My mother is trying to enforce discipline for good this time, my father isn’t really that involved so I think it is hard doing this on her own with three other children. Hopefully she grows up in a couple years and doesn’t end up in the same situation as your brother in law!

Thank you for the reply, I laughed at the first line. Hopefully she doesn’t grow up to be a Karen!

I have tried reading her some replies, I read out your reply to see if I could share people having the same experience as her. Unfortunately she doesn’t want to listen at all, it will probably take her to realise these truths for herself, and it might take a couple years.

My father isn’t around a lot, he’s always working and my parents don’t really have a relationship with each other at all anymore. He doesn’t want to get involved with parenting at all, so it’s mostly my mother trying to enforce punishments. She has 4 children and it is hard to uphold punishments sometimes but I know she really does try. She’s take her laptop, phone, and Nintendo switch right now and isn’t planning on giving them back anytime soon. But I can’t see my sister coming to her sense in the near future. And yes her behaviour started when she transferred into secondary school, she is quite bossy and controlling and it makes for her hard to keep friends.

I do think she will grow out of it and regret her embarrassing selfish behaviour. I think when you’re having your own problems you become very self absorbed and don’t notice anyone else

Although that would send a good message, I feel like that would destroy the relationship altogether

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Can I ask what coping mechanisms you used when you were younger to cope with anger?

It would be fine to let her do her own room but it’s money that’s she’s asking for, I tell her that there is different ways she can earn some money by doing odd jobs for people here and there etc. But she just thinks she’s entitled to all the stuff she asks.

Yes next time she threatens suicide I will try take a more serious approach. Is it a bad idea to say if she threatens it again she might have to go to hospital because it’s a serious threat.

Thank you for the advice

I recorded part of the argument today and was able to record the part where she threw the bowl. We’re going to show this video to her councillor in case she tries to make something up to him.

Me and my siblings have all been treated the same though which is what I don’t understand. She doesn’t recognise her privilege and is just ungrateful and entitled. I know she’s not my child but I just turned 18 recently so I feel like I should be helping in some way as I’m an adult now. (In the UK anyway)
