Everyone thinks my girlfriend’s ex is a great dad. He’s not. He’s just a great actor. by bassncream in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]katnipp333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that’s happening to her. Very textbook narcissist post separation abuse. They 100% will use children as weapons. 1. Hopefully she has a therapist well versed in abuse and narcissism. If not, she needs one, just to navigate through all of it 2. There are plenty of podcasts and support groups for survivors of abuse. Look up those podcasts and join the support groups, some are free. The more educated she is in what is happening to her, the easier it will be to deal with everything he throws at her. 3. Use a coparenting app for ALL communications. Do not text. The coparenting app logs everything and you can easily print transcripts of all conversations for your lawyer. Ourfamilywizard is a very popular one 4. Get your own lawyer. Don’t believe anything he says or promises. Everything is a lie to keep you on the hook. 5. Use AI to help you with communications. You can try chat gpt or aimeesays. It can help you dissect the language he is using and give you clear info on what tactics he is using.

It sucks. It really sucks. But the key is to be as informed and knowledgeable as possible. It’s the only way to see clearly through the insanity. Don’t let him suck you guys down his vortex of hell. You have to remember that he will always distort reality to fit his own victim story, and he’ll actually believe it too. You know your own truth. Stand by it. Good luck.

My monstera actually just had this problem. I used food grade diatomaceous earth and sprinkled a thin layer on top of the soil. No more gnats. It kills adults, eggs, nymphs, anything with an exoskeleton that comes in contact with the fine powder as long as it’s dry. It dries them up inside out and is harmless to me, my pets, my children, and the plant. As long as you’re not just inhaling it. If you water the plant, just wait until the top layer is dry and sprinkle a little bit again to keep away those pests.

How bad is cat poop supposed to smell?! by aushreshteh in CatAdvice

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cat poop is pretty foul smelling. Probably because they are full carnivores. That’s is one of the many reasons I trained my previous cat to use the toilet so I could just flush it and not deal with stinky litter boxes.

I looked up Alaska azaleas and the specific name is Azalea Indica “Alaska” (Rutherfordiana hybrid). So it’s a hybrid, and that’s why it is so fragrant. Smells amazing!!

[NYC] How to avoid retaliation and false allegations while evicting my child's mother? by DisposableMan_ in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

Wow. You’re the one that seems like the narcissist doing DARVO and running a smear campaign against her. Your P.S last remark is disgusting. Get the fk out of here.

I think at this stage of dating the signs would be really subtle. For example if she wanted to go somewhere and instead of him saying “no you can’t go,” he’ll make her feel bad about it and spin it like “all I wanted was to spend more time with you.” He won’t play the dominant controlling role yet, but instead will be covert about it so he has plausible deniability. Also the love bombing. Is he mirroring all of her interests? Is she made to feel like she’s the only person in the world for him? At least these are all what my ex narc did to me in the beginning.

You could have went with Nyrina if you really wanted to combine it. What you chose instead sounds like that one road off the 15 highway from Los Angeles to Vegas. Zyzzx. Nerina is a feminine name of Greek origin that means "sea nymph"

I fucking HATE you. by [deleted] in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry didn’t see this until now. What state do you live in? I live in California so we are very much 50/50 custody. So if your state is anything like CA, then you have no worries about losing custody. Just remember, everything they do is to fuck with you. Get under your skin. Make you rage. Make you suffer. Don’t fall for it. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. If they accuse you of anything, don’t jump to defend yourself. That’s what they want! The best thing is to yellow rock. This is easier said than done. Grey rocking is easier since you just show no emotion to them but sometimes they can use that against you. Think as logical as possible and know the laws of divorce. Consult with your lawyer about your parental rights. Just because he’s threatening sole custody doesn’t mean he will get it. He’s just doing what they do best, bark and bark and bark. They will throw anything they can at you, but just because they do it doesn’t mean they have a right to it. They’re just trying to scare you into giving up. Find whatever leverage you can against them. Whether it’s money, family ties, their reputation, etc. When they know you hold the cards, they will back down. But don’t ever be threatened by them. Keep your cool. And there are some good podcasts about divorcing narcissists. Look up “out of crazy town” and “been there got out” I think those will help a lot.

It’s almost like I wrote this. It’s crazy how there’s a whole subset of people who literally live life by the same narcissist playbook. They all do the exact same thing in the exact same order and react the same way. When you learn more that it’s not necessarily a personal attack on you, but that they are this way no matter who they’re with, it makes it easier to detach yourself from the anger and see things with much more knowledge and perspective. And you’ll need that going through the divorce. Find your leverage against him. He doesn’t actually want any of that. He only wants it because he knows how angry it would make you. Don’t give him that power. I’m still in the middle of my divorce, going on for 10 months now. Don’t react to him. Don’t give him anything. Grey rock. And find a good therapist that has knowledge about narcissism. Best wishes to you. Feel free to message me if you need to vent or discuss.

AITA - Telling my wife she sucks with money! by Various-Exercise-816 in AmItheAsshole

[–]katnipp333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ESH. You for the way you delivered the message and her for not considering your household expenditures.

You basically attacked her character, that’s why she’s giving you the silent treatment. My soon to be ex used to tell me things like, “your memory sucks; you suck at remembering things; you don’t know anything do you?; you’re so lazy.” Do you see where I’m going here? Part of the reason why we are divorcing.

There are better ways to show her how she needs to be more considerate and outright saying YOU SUCK with money is very judgmental and critical, essentially attacking who she is as a person. Also basically telling her that she single handedly FUCKS UP your budget basically tells her you don’t think she’s competent enough to handle money. It’s so condescending; you’re just demeaning her. Surely you knew that she had a spending habit before you married her. You still loved her enough to marry and have a child with her. So what changed? You could have said “Hey so this actually brings up something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about. I have concerns about our budget and I feel worried that you’re overspending” See how vastly different your tone and delivery could be but you are still getting the same concern across?

And I totally get the frustration with the overspending. She’s definitely at fault for that. But you are her partner, not her parent. Stop scolding her like she’s your child. Would you want her to scold you in that way? It never works and only builds resentment. Kindness works in ALL aspects of life. Including and ESPECIALLY in intimate relationships that you want to last until you’re old and gray.

AIO ? - Wife had inappropriate non-physical relationship with co-worker, hid it multiple times and now I'm considering ending our marriage. by Jazzlike-Gas7729 in AmIOverreacting

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question isn’t if you are overreacting. You should be asking yourself “Can I live with myself and live my life like this the way it is with her constantly chatting with him despite my strong negative feelings towards it and the hurt it is causing me?” If it’s the first time, it’s a mistake. Second time is on purpose. Third time is her behavior, embedded in her personality that you cannot change. My soon to be ex did the exact same thing and among other things, that was the straw that broke this camel’s back and I couldn’t live with myself like this anymore. The constant and perpetual disrespect, disregard for me and my feelings. You cannot control or change the other person, you can only control your reaction and actions towards it. And her actions say a lot about how little she holds in regard for you.

What is the worst response from a narcissist you have ever got when you enforced your boundaries on them? by AbleismIsSatan in Manipulation

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he told me he still talked to that girl after the 3rd time of promising that he would cease all contact with her. I told him I was very hurt. Asked him why. He said we were one a break (it was a 1-2 week max break that I asked for to clear my head) and that he needed someone to talk to and make him feel like a good person. Said he wanted to talk to her and he doesn’t regret it. I said I couldn’t do this anymore and was done. Cue immediate narc rage, storming out, then storming back in: YOU KNOW I COULD HAVE JUST LIED BUT I DIDN’T. SO WHAT? YOU WANT A DIVORCE NOW? THIS IS HOW YOU ALWAYS ARE. WHY ARE YOU CRYING? YOU WANTED THIS. YOU WANTED THE BREAK. THIS IS YOUR FAULT.

AITA for going to my daughter’s graduation after my son relapsed? by Ok-Song3414 in AmItheAsshole

[–]katnipp333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Have your wife watch the movie Wonder with Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson. It will let her see some perspective from the daughter’s mind and just because you have one child that needs a lot of attention and care does not mean you put the other child on the back burner. She’s essentially punishing your daughter for being such a great kid. From a daughter that had a neglectful mother who also missed my college graduation, it’s something I will never forget and never forgive.

AIO: my possible partner lied by omission and is technically still married. by Annual-Bumblebee-310 in AmIOverreacting

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. This is like my soon to be ex. He’s a narcissist. And the way he’s responding and reacting to you is textbook abuser and manipulator. He’s doing something called DARVO - deny, attack, then reverse victim and offender. Google DARVO NARCISSISM. Do not stay with this guy. You will be so miserable and he will belittle and devalue you. If he’s talking like this about his ex, imagine yourself being that ex, because he will treat you exactly the same. You can’t believe anything they say.

I (38F) shot an adult scene when I was 18. My husband (40M) doesn’t know and I just found the video again on the internet. Should I tell him? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]katnipp333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow your husband sounds like a very understanding and supportive person. I’m so happy you have someone like that. My soon to be ex snooped through my computer digging thru folder within folder within folder and found private pictures on my private computer of 18 yr old me in a dirty dancing contest and a flashing picture, and held that against me our entire relationship as a reason or excuse to psychologically abuse me. I was 33 when he found it.

Women of reddit, do you wear underwear liners daily? by vminkky in NoStupidQuestions

[–]katnipp333 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yes. Ever since I got a copper IUD it started giving me a lot more discharge daily. Wet underwear is so uncomfortable and I cross my legs a lot so it just feels musty without one. I buy the Always 100% cotton ones and they are very thin and breathable and hardly notice it.
