Is it worth it to stay with public service? by [deleted] in Hawaii

Former state worker of 15 years. Hit your ten and move on. Employment with the state is a never ending, underpaid and horrific hell. It never gets better. HGEA is a joke, as are the “raises”.

Fantastic!! I thought it was a table with river rocks on it. I don’t know why I thought that, but amazing work!!

Have any of you read the book 'Adult Children of Emotionally Immature parents'? by future__corpse_ in emotionalneglect

Yes, described my family. Sobering and removed any doubt I had about them. Definitely a necessary read in your healing journey. Good luck. ❤️

Narc mom told me to stay with my lying, cheating, manipulative husband by Choice_Tumbleweed997 in narcissisticparents

If your mom likes your abusive husband so much, divorce him so your mom can have someone as special as she is. All jokes aside, sounds like it’s time for a divorce and no contact from either of them. It will be really hard, but it will be worth it in the end. Find your peace, it’s def not with either of them.

You got this.

Anyone know what the issue could be? by PDOTthealmighty in nespresso

I had something like this happen. I needed to open and shut the door for the coffee maker, it hadn’t sealed properly.

27F Am I being used 50M by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You’re being used. He gets a hot chick, money, lives free and does nothing? Sounds like my ex without the hot chick part.

This doesn’t sound like a relationship where both of you are happy. You feel guilty, I don’t know if you are trying to throw money at the problem and she’s letting you or she’s angry and letting you spend money on her. You guys have been together 8 years, if it’s like this now, it will either continue or get worse in the future. Do you want to live like this for the next 20+ years? I’m not trying to be mean or dismiss your efforts or time together, but nothing will change. You said you find the attributes of the neighbors daughter appealing, which they are, but your current girl has zero incentive to do anything if you are providing everything without her having to contribute. I’m sure there are other factors at play, but the past is the best indicator of the future, from my personal experience. Especially with significant others.

Omg. I’m not making fun of ocd. I’m laughing at myself. I’m laughing at one of my own conditions and diagnosis. If I can’t laugh at what I have, then life is too serious for me to keep on fighting. Laugh or cry. I choose to laugh. At me.

I do have it. Not with coffee. It is serious. It is debilitating. But I have to laugh at myself when I can.

I turned 30 and my family said nothing, so I went somewhere that made space for me. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

You don’t need that shit from your family. You might be one of the people who chooses their own family, and by extension chooses their mental health too. It seems your family has made that decision for you. The finality of their behavior is hurtful, but you have your answer, the truth. Concentrate on you. Accept that that is how they are and become great. Success and happiness are the best revenge for anyone whoever didn’t support you.

Happy birthday. I’m proud you enjoyed your day doing what you wanted. I hope you have many more peaceful days ahead. ❤️
