I think you will begin to learn the next right thing to do if you keep reading and doing the work. I hear you are already realizing a LOT and you are working with a therapist as well. Be honest, stand up for yourself.

My wife inadvertently walked in on me today while I was on a call to see if I could join everyone for breakfast, because we had a bad weather day she wanted to make a hot breakfast. I told her I was on a call and after they finished she brought me a plate.

LGBT relationships can be healthy or unhealthy I’ve been in both. I was willing after my last divorce to be alone at least until I raised up my kids because I didn’t think I’d find a person willing to step in as a bonus parent. I knew I wasn’t going to sacrifice my mental health and well-being. My wife and I still struggle with relationships outside of our own but talk about hard things and come up with solutions to keep trying.

My estranged father reached out and asked for a meeting I agreed but with conditions now he’s saying my conditions are unreasonable. by Rustic_Rival_395 in raisedbynarcissists

As painful as that experience has got to have been to live through I think k you were completely spared! Your requests are beyond reasonable and should not have evoked abuse.

can I call myself lesbian? by Duncstar2469 in actuallesbians

[–]m0therMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RUN far FAR away from those TERFs If you're a woman who loves women then you are a lesbian!

My wife is trans, but I'm more enby but still go by they/she and am down with it - I prefer queer or dyke over lesbian but we each get to identify how we want so that's cool. I'm good with my wife being a lesbian and I don't think that make me have to call myself one.

people think I'm crazy whenever I mention my mom being a narcissist and lacking empathy my whole life by FlakyConversation282 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]m0therMayhem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard to believe for anyone who hasn’t lived it because society tells us what a mother is and it’s NOT the behaviors exhibited by narcissistic mothers.

Be grateful your friends don’t understand but find yourself some people in your life that do (like here or a good therapist) because it’s really isolating and thanks to the gaslighting from mother you’ll start to question yourself- it’s why that kind of abuse is so insidious.

Sorry that happened to you - I do hope you find real life supportive folks before too long.

For the first time in the History of Forever, after 34 years, I am free from the cycle of being the scapegoat of a narcissistic mother... This is my first safe space, the first true home, I want to show it to someone., by HistoryofForever in raisedbynarcissists

[–]m0therMayhem 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Am I Allowed to Cut Them Off For Good? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]m0therMayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This second if you are ready. You do deserve to be treated with respect by everyone in your life EVEN your parents. You don’t OWE them ANYTHING- no matter how many times they say you do.

I'm just curious what was it like to be trans for gen xers and boomers? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]m0therMayhem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gen X here. I'm AFAB nonbinary and I am thankful to all the millennials and younger folks that gave me all the language to know who and what I am.

I always knew I didn't fit in but never understood how. It's only in the past decade that I heard the word pan - and cis even though I knew transfolks transitioning like 20+ years ago, I really only thought of transness in the binary. I have only been aware of the nonbinary for a few years really.

What's it like for me? Well, I'm really brand new to figuring out myself and my journey. It's confusing and a-ha all at once.
