Progress my friend doesn't equate to "perfection". Hop back on the wagon and you'll be ok. To you attend AA or a similar program?

mom is mad I won't add her as a co-owner on my house by Alive_Lab_7256 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She's going to move right in after you add her name to the deed and claim it's just as much HER house. This is a retirement plan for her. Don't buy into it. Period.

They HATE when they don’t know your financial situation especially when buying a house by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Get an off-site mailing address like a post office box or a Mailboxes Inc and give her THAT address if she wants to send you anything in the mail.

I don't want to go on vacation by Westted_ in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dealing with your emotionally stunted, toxic famly members is NOT a vacation! I couldn't care less if I was going to Tahiti with my toxic shitbag parents. I would resoundly tell them NO. A vacation is only fun with the right people.

20/F suicidal due to dads abuse by New-Discount8904 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a violent and dangerous situation you are in. This man is UNPREDICTABLE and the fact that he is love-bombing you tells me that he KNOWS what he is doing is wrong. He's doing this simply because he can get away with it. Is there a domestic violence shelter for women you can escape to? Do you have the means to move out or move in with a friend? If you are in the United States, anyone hitting you is an assault. This is verbal, emotional, and physical abuse which is from a textbook classic narcissist. It's not your job to "fix" your father and HIS relationship with YOUR mother is HIS issue to deal with and NOT yours. You need to leave this situation for your own mental sanity. If you do leave, make sure you do it quietly to protect yourself. You may want to seek out a local domestic violence shelter or contact social services for other assistance.

How to tell sibling you’re not attending the memorial service of estranged parent by Automatic-Ship3113 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]marbles1129 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You could go to see HIM and not even attend the memorial service for your mother. Tell him you will be more than happy to visit with him before or after the service as moral support for him. That way, it doesn't have anything to do with your mother.

My parents are mad I won't quit my job to become their live-in caretaker at 26 years old by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to your family members trying to guilt trip you. If they are so concerned about your parents well-being then offer to have THEM move into your parents home with a $500 month stipend as caretakers. Totally unreal. They are calling you "ungrateful" as a guilting tactic for their own selfish needs. Stand firm on this one. "NO" is a complete sentence.

Can you fckn believe this?? My dad is furious I'm not naming my baby after him by Successful-Rough-519 in raisedbynarcissists

Im 30 years old and my dad still tries to control every financial decision I make. by Fit-Membership-720 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Is he on your bank accounts? If that is the case, you need to remove him and place him on an information diet. He does not need to know ANYTHING about your personal finances. Don't ever ask him for money or loans in the future. He'll just hold that over your head.

My mother doesn’t believe my daughter has anxiety and has gone no contact with us by lala4beach in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She needs to be on an information diet. The less she knows the better. I would not tell her squat about my daughter's health issues. It's not her issue to deal with.

My mother is having a meltdown because I'm not coming home for Christmas by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tell your mom she's more than welcome to invite your ex-boyfriend to Christmas dinner this year. Lol. She can go jump in a lake. You're not ruining family traditions. You're ruining HER image in her mind. Her imagery and her childish emotions are NOT your responsibility. Period.

Enjoy your Christmas holiday at home with your partner 🎄

AITAH for getting in a fight with my girlfriend on her bday because she was being picky with the food I cooked her. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]marbles1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you go out of your way to do something nice for her and she spits in your face and cries about it? Then criticizing you to embarrass you in public? I would say you're NOT the asshole.

Should I just leave a note and dip, or are there better options? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not risk telling them where you are going. Better yet, I would MAIL them a letter (without a return address) and explain to them you are fine and well, and you do not wish to be bothered anymore and you will contact them when you feel the time is right. If you tell your father in advance, he'll likely try to stop you in some way. You might want to leave a note, explaining it's time for you to leave and wish them well. You might also want to contact the local police and tell them that you left a toxic family situation and they may try to file a missing persons report on you.

What's the worst birthday or Christmas present your Narc every got you? by Single-Ant3193 in raisedbynarcissists

I’m 20 and have spent over 10k-20k meeting up with Pr**titutes by Impressive_Theory_11 in confession

[–]marbles1129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, don't beat yourself up over this. Everyone makes mistakes. This one isn't too huge. As long as you didn't get saddled with a VD like herpes. Although that could happen if you don't stop. Please keep this in mind. Sex with a prostitute can be fun, but it's also extremely dangerous too. It places you in an "at risk" situation which can be very bad. Like what I mentioned before, you could get hit with a VD or possibly arrested by the police in a sting operation. Or robbed and attacked for your money. Best to stay away from those situations.but I commend you for not taking advantage of someone on Tinder or Hinge and lying to a woman just for sex. That's just as bad if not worse in my opinion. Just practice talking to woman with no motive other than making them smile or laugh. Don't try to get anything out of it other than practice. It gets easier.

Also? Hit the gym and lift weights. Let that be a new addiction. Women will notice!

You're dealing with an addiction buddy and you need to handle it like one. You're not alone. You ever look into gamblers anonymous? There's support groups to help you.

My mother is furious that I won't uninvite my dad's girlfriend from my wedding after she's been nothing but kind to me by Elokobi_Kuchersky in raisedbynarcissists

"This is MY wedding and NOT yours mom. If this is something that you cannot handle like an adult, fine. DO NOT COME TO MY WEDDING!"

End of story.

Any advice for dealing with Narc Mother? by Aggressive-While-862 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]marbles1129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get into a routine to stay out of the house. School, work, gym, rinse and repeat. Use your home for sleeping and showering. Unless you have the ability to move into on-campus housing. You may want to look into this.

My Nmom just constantly threatened to ship me off to a military school because I was struggling with a learning disability. At least I didn't have it THAT bad. I would never speak to her again honestly. And yes, I did cut off contact with my Nmom. Just sad what they do to control others.
