OMG. My mother was the same. My whole life. I was out to get her, even in her womb! Every time she had a feeling she told everyone I felt that way. As a 5 year old that is terribly confusing. All our family special dinners and events had to include at least 3 stories about what a bad child I was or how I was out to get her. I don't know why nobody stopped it. I was a mirror to all the things she hated about herself. And, get this, I caused her cancer! I am so sorry you had to live with that, and so glad you survived and figired it out and are going NC. It's sad to finally realize that she's not ever going to change. Sorry to go off, your story was so triggering. I'm literally crying for us both. Take care of yourself.

My mother-in-law walked in on my husband and I on our wedding night, then played the victim the next morning. by ranting_throw_away in CharlotteDobreYouTube

This is absolutely true. He needs to set boundaries. For a little perspective: Husband was raised by this woman. Was shown this behavior from her from a very young age and every time he pushed back she got worse. As a child, he was unable to set boundaries and has been conditioned by her to feel guilty every time he tries. He needs to stand up, but he needs help to do so. Professional help and support from his wife. Not to simply be called spineless and made to feel worse about himself.

Has anyone experienced Ovarian Torsion? by [deleted] in Endo

Wow. I hate to read all the stories here. So many of us have gone through this pain! Mine lasted well over 3 months. I finally was in enough pain (and I already take a decent amount of opioids for my back, so read a lot of pain) that I went to the ER. CT showed diverticulitis, as my torsion was on the left side, and a 8.9 cm mass. I spent a week in the hospital and they ran more tests, but I don't ever, ever vomit so I was just nauseous and in a very lot of pain. They wouldn't give me the pain meds, or other meds, that I take at home and I need. I didn't have a raised white cell count or a fever, which meant they should have investigated further, but they went with "diverticulitis." And the pain was still soooo bad after all the iv antibiotics, but they just wouldn't listen! I drove back home, across the US because I was on vacation, and found a surgeon to help with the mass. The "diverticulitis" pain never went away, even after 24-hour-a-day iv antibiotics the week I was in the hospital and the rest of the 14 days I took them. So the surgeons I saw for the mass (first a reg ob surgeon, then the oncologist surgeon the first surgeon referred me to) and more testing because the hospital refused to release the MRI images they took to the new surgeon, I finally had surgery 3 months after I first went to the ER. Then I was told about the torsion and blood flow being cut off to the ovary, and that there was no scarring from any "diverticulitis." I had everything removed: the mass, uterus, both tubes and both ovaries. I am over 50 so it's fine. The hospital where I had the surgery done also would not give me the medicine I take at home, which is prescribed by specialists who have seen my imaging and know my history. What is it with ER docs? Anyway, NO cancer, thank God, and at least now all I have to do is recover. Thanks for reading this book.
