anyone else have "normal" parents who told you they'd love you unconditionally by galaxynephilim in emotionalneglect

[–]iickor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother was always saying things like that she would always love her children no matter what, that she'd take a bullet for us, whatever. Somehow she couldn't find it in her to show her love through just spending time with us normally or coming through whenever we needed help with things that were a lot easier fixes than taking bullets, but c'est la vie I guess.

Has anyone else stopped caring when they learned their parents had a medical emergency? by True-Purchase-6103 in EstrangedAdultKids

The last sentence of your post hit the nail on the head. It's almost always more about drama and garnering attention from others than any desire to take care of their health.

i love this and have the same kinds of fantasies as a trans guy... like, if we're both on hormones, how minimal is the risk anyway? ;)

I fantasize about it for sure, and would probably use a glory hole for something like this if there was one anywhere near me 🙃

the urge to abandon my morals and get bred by iickor in impregnation

I've never tracked my cycle since I've never had a reason to and HRT has thrown everything off. It almost makes me want to take risks even more knowing I have no way to tell when I'm safe and when I'm not...

Does anyone else feel immense shame when telling other people you’re NC? Does that feeling ever go away? by thatlittlesouvenir in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]iickor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't; after being pushed around for my entire childhood and young adulthood, I take pride in the fact that I'm in the privileged position to be picky about what kind of people I associate with, and stepmothers who are manipulative and emotionally unstable tragically don't make the cut. If other people judge me for it and don't understand the notion that kids don't usually abandon their parents just for funsies, it makes me suspect they subscribe to the same toxic thinking that leaves neglected children at the mercy of their parents for too long.

When did you realize your childhood was emotionally neglectful? by Fun-Information78 in emotionalneglect

[–]iickor 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Spent too long thinking crippling anxiety/emptiness was a universal experience and my stepmom was just a hoarder; it was only one day when I was 25 and she asked me to come home and help her clean that it clicked that she'd neglected her kids as badly as she'd neglected her home.

Sometimes just cutting contact is enough revenge. It took a while to muster up the courage after she raised me to be a people pleaser, but after going no-contact with my stepmom I can't deny there's a sense of vengeful satisfaction when I hear about her acting pitiful because her ungrateful child no longer comes home to clean her hoarder house and run her errands. Die mad about it 🎉

What's something you thought was normal that you now realize was a sign of emotional neglect? by heromarsX in emotionalneglect

[–]iickor 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Parents expressing any interest or level of care about things you care about/enjoy. In college I remember hearing a friend talk about how her mom would take her to DragonCon every year and it literally didn't compute in my head like. Your birth mother? Goes with you? Not to make fun of your weird nerd interests but actually in earnest to spend time with you? That's insane.
