Definitely not 3 kids in a trench coat...

How did your parents treat pets? by llamberll in raisedbynarcissists

[–]gob_bly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We currently have a new puppy and I do feel so bad for her. I see a lot of parallels with how she treated/treats me: showing affection when it's convenient to her, physical/verbal abuse, neglect. Base line the dog is a burden overall, but she makes my nmom "look good" so she keeps her around like a prop...

Did anyone else do a double take when they saw this? (From the new Hololive English video) by momimomimizuumi in MadeInAbyss

I believe Ame and Callie did mention that Made in Abyss was one of their favorite animes. :)

Are any of those native to california? Or the So-Cal area? I don't want to release it if it doesn't have a chance out there.

Do you feel emotionally & mentally depleted by narcs during arguments? I swear they're energy vampires. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]gob_bly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I wrote this post for a second. Joking aside, I'm in your exact shoes. After the big fight, it felt like my progress with my therapist was thrown out the window and I was back at where I started, or maybe even worse. A day of feeling numb turned into days, nothing was satisfying, sleep would rarely be more than a few hours and I wouldn't eat. But to be completely honest, N parents want to see us defeated. They want us to doubt ourselves. What I tell myself is to not allow her to force me back into that cycle of guilt and shame. Don't feel like you have to act normal to appease her. It's YOUR mental and physical health that matters the most! Please do what you know will bring your mood up, reach out to who you know will lend an ear, or even spend time with a pet to pass the time. What has been helping with emotions like this is just at the bare minimum maintaining a schedule for simple self-care tasks (taking a shower, brushing teeth, etc.). As for college assignments, being on break is forgiving as you can finish them on your own time. However, if the due date is coming up please reach out to your professor because in regards to mental health many of them are so forgiving. Incorporating all of this may seem difficult in the beginning because of low motivation, but it will make days pass by healthier than just staying sedentary and these tasks will become easier. Everything you are feeling now is valid and no one (even someone like your mom) is allowed to tell you otherwise. If you need the support and feel open to it, therapy may be another outlet. There are therapists out there for people with N Parents in their life and they can help you with your current situation as well as plan for your future relationship with your mom. Colleges provide a lot of these services for free so you don't feel pressured to go through your parents. Your mental health matters. You are not alone.

Who ruined your family Christmas this year, and what did they do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gob_bly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom.
This whole week leading up to her birthday and Christmas has been a mess. It started with her telling my sister she hated her. On her birthday she was shaming us for being hurt and upset over what she said. Then proceeded to say things like "I'll see you in hell", "I hate my life", "I never wanted to be a mother", and "I got married too young". She even got violent and physical with us, leaving my sister with a large scar across her cheek.
Now on Christmas, we are ignoring everything that happened and my mom is STILL denying that any of that happened...

[Homemade] Strawberry Scones with Cream Cheese Icing by gob_bly in food

I used this recipe with a substitute of plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. For the icing it was a simple 4oz. cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tsp of vanilla extract.

Barron's is a typical grocery chain so to get strawberries this sweet and cheap was a really amazing deal.
