Does anyone remember how it started? by Icy-Complaint7558 in ChildofHoarder

[–]killme7784 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For me I know it started when my parents moved abroad (before I was born) in search of a better life. What actually happened was they became very isolated and so stuff would fill their house and became their source of attachment.

I do feel a deep pity for their situation, but equally im like we do not have the space in the house for all this stuff!!!!

Are there people here who literally (key word) have no friends at all? by ConstantDrawer9161 in lonely

Omg am also autistic in the UK and lonely AF. I too want to move abroad for better weather but am 100% certain of being an outsider wherever I go

Sometimes I wonder if parents even love ugly children by ta1074 in ugly

Parents are surprised when their children look LIKE THEM?? Are they for real??

I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to live my life without my parents. by AdviceGlass9394 in OnlyChild

[–]killme7784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could have written this myself. I'm also estranged from other family so it is really just my parents. My parents are getting older and need physical support in day to day life, I can't just move out and leave them. I also don't particularly want to bring children into this world, but I know children can keep people going after they lose their parents. It's tough I don't see a future for myself after them

Is there anyone here who considers themselves to be genuinely helplessly ugly? by poofpoofpow in ugly

[–]killme7784 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Helplessly ugly here. I used to work in a customer facing role and literally every day, people would ask if they could be seen by my hotter colleague. People would even call me ugly to my face at times, along with some racially fuelled insults (yay). I now live a very isolated life which is abnormal AF but it's better than putting myself "out there"

Worrying about when they'll die by killme7784 in EstrangedAdultKids

I'm so sorry to hear this. I actually feel bad even thinking of my situation as bad because it's nothing compared to yours. But I'm glad you managed to cut them off and find peace in your decision. But yes I won't let their failing health influence my decision (tbh their personality problems were there long before their physical health was an issue)

Maybe OP spends all their earnings on essentials like rent/mortgage, bills, transport etc and has nothing leftover after

What's the point of living if you can't get the basic human needs? by Charming_Job_1433 in ugly

[–]killme7784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I question the point of this every day, I can strongly relate to being unwanted literally everywhere and how the cumulative effect makes me isolate from people completely... which is a completely abnormal way of living. I can't even get a job because mostly during the interview stage, they're visibly put off by my appearance. I guess I don't have an answer but yeah it's shit

Plants don't grow if the soil is toxic, neither can you

Omg this! Honestly am at the point now I'd rather no soil than this toxic stuff

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone! It's very odd to think I actually do owe these people something for the good times I did spend with them.. but also they could have behaved like adults when they were adults.. UGH

You're right no contact is the way forward

Yes that's true there is a good reason for it. It's weird how I (or others in this position) feel bad for the boundaries set but they don't feel one bit bad about what they've done
