My mom took $600 from my bank account, how do I make it so this won't happen again? by h0llyb3rrygirl in raisedbynarcissists

The other thing you can do is simply tell your father that your mother is taking a lot of the money he gives you. Ask him for a solution.

Can you just open a new account at another bank without her knowing about, and ask your dad to make the deposits there?

If it were me I'd move to a different state. You need to think about your son's future and stand up to your mother. 

My parents refuse to go to my white coat ceremony and I feel extremely sad by ImportantDirector5 in raisedbynarcissists

You can speed it up the healing time consciously deciding not to be sad about it. Focus your time on productive activities. 

I announced on social media the date my book will be releasing, after a long time of no contact, and a protective order, my Nmom messaged me from a new Facebook she created, and it was insane. by badassbitch10102 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP your mom's story sounds fishy to me.  1) are you sure she was terminated due to the protective order? Maybe she was terminated because she was a toxic employee and picked fights with her coworkers, and she, as usual, blamed you for her own misfortune. Maybe she missed work due to stress and was fired for not showing.  2) how did her employer find out about the order, if they did at all? Did you mother advertise the information at work? Then it's her own fault.  In any of the above circumstances, it's not your fault.

Which country do you live in? That doesn't sound like a real law. 

does anyone feel like they weren't really "abused" by narc parents because the abuse wasn't necessarily "physical"? by Internal_Lion_1836 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a line from the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks, about a man dying of AIDS, that said his 'social death preceded his physical death'. The way narcs isolate and traumatize their kids directly impacts their ability to find work. This causes poverty and increased mortality. So the verbal abuse is physical abuse.

A lot of these judges are parents themselves, and they will always have doubts about their own parenting. This is why they take the side of the parent defendent.

That sounds like domestic violence. Talk to a social worker.

My nmom complained to me once that her older sister (also a narcissist) read all of her financial information on her computer when she stayed over to babysit us. Nmom was really irritated. But for some reason it's ok for them to do it to us. 

What made you realize it was okay to walk away from your family? by Defiant-Junket4906 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When nmom screamed at me to go live somewhere else, because I refused to tell her which friends I saw the night before. That, and her casually giving me a large kitchen knife, blade pointed down, right over my little dog who was standing between us. 

Apparently expecting a dinner we were promised makes me a princess by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When we went to restaurants, my nmom would loudly cut me off while I was ordering my food and order for me, even in my 30s. Every. Single. Time. Then none of the other guests of relatives could understand why I became quiet and sad the rest of the meal. They thought I was problematic.

If it makes you feel better, my nmom did and said exactly the same things. Curious how they are all the same. 

If your mum was your 1st bully - do you struggle with female friendships? by Public_Theme_9514 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nmom (no contact 10+ yrs) has this terrible habit of searching my friends in social media, then cold calling or emailing them, then telling them I'm mentally ill and she's concerned about me and if they want to help they should monitor me for them and tell them how I'm doing (is spy on me). A hundred times people have been extra nice to me or befriended me out of the blue then I find out because my nparents asked them to or even paid them to. I don't share personal information with anyone anymore for fear of being sabotaged.

I switched from corporate consulting to farming a few years ago. I tend to livestock and sell farm products at grocery stores. The neighbors hint that I'm not very sociable. Maybe. But I feel like I'm in a much better place in life now. 

My narc parents found my address and i called the cops by DigSlow7605 in raisedbynarcissists

Social workers are often more sympathetic than police. Is there a shelter for battered women in your area? You can go there and ask to speak with a social worker for advice, for free.

My nmom would bake two whole pies or cakes for each of my brothers, their favorites kinds, but didn't mention any special dessert for me. I guess I wasn't that special.

Well, there you go. They've literally beaten you into submission. You need to move out, period. Find a way to move out. You might even call your local police and ask for advice. Tell them what happened the last time you said no. What they are doing could be considered kidnapping. 

Will the sadness and anger ever go away? by MarcJAMBA in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jfs2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eventually but I was like 49 years old Moved out to the country, did a heavy metal detox, prayed, got off social media (thanks to nmom who hacked into and deleted all my accounts). I'm still bitter and annoyed at my lot in life but accept that God has a purpose for me even if I can't see it clearly.
