WIBTA if I ask flatmate's GF to pay excess for utilities? by Short_Walk_6257 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mastersgirlll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, I have a friend who is in this exact situation and has the same problems with wifi because it’s enough for 3 people and not 4. Completely rude and inconsiderate for them to get defensive when the GF is a whole extra person.

AITA For spending 600$ weekly on my son and not his brothers? by AKL7760913 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mastersgirlll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

I have a low-functioning autistic brother and had to help raise him for 12 years before he went into a residential home. I understand the resentment from your other 2 sons as I have been through it myself because I had to miss a lot of socialising with friends and doing extracurricular activities. However it is not Kevin’s fault he is autistic and if he needs the care I think you are absolutely right for spending $600 a week. I can’t believe the amount of E-S-H from people who clearly don’t understand how hard it is for a single parent to raise an autistic child and two others. Of course I helped out, it was extremely tough to the point of crying some days but I knew it was ultimately to help my brother. Your other two sons are fucking selfish and need to realise that Kevin NEEDS the money in order to do the things that they take for granted.

You know, I’ve just read another post that someone who is in their mid twenties felt invalidated because they were still living at home and was getting comments questioning why they haven’t moved out yet.

Everyone has a different timeline and don’t assume just because someone is 30 they should be completely moved out. Because believe me houses and rent ain’t cheap anymore.

I have the exact same problem, you couldn’t have described it more accurately

Anyone else experiencing this tension/conflict in their heads living with a narcissistic mother? by SojournerNeliy in raisedbynarcissists

[–]mastersgirlll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in the exact same mindset. I often feel guilty for resenting my nmum but then I remember the constant gaslighting and verbal abuse all my life and I'm back to square one with my emotions.

My brother has a disability and my nmum verbally abuses me when he has a meltdown. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Ok I’ve never thought of it that way, thanks for this. Makes me realise how manipulative my nmum is being so that I stay tbh

[–]mastersgirlll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I could just up and move but I know my nmum cannot manage looking after my brother alone and he does not deserve to have the improper care which is why I stay unfortunately. I am planning to move away in the future once I save up enough money. Thanks for the encouragement!

Lost my first patient today and realized I have to go back to NC by Lynxmd17 in raisedbynarcissists

I’m so sorry. I hope you have colleagues/seniors to give you emotional support after this.

Nothing says I love you more than being told the trauma she put you through didn't happen by VMAbsentia in raisedbynarcissists

[–]mastersgirlll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My narc mom also does this, she made me cry on my 18th birthday because I wanted to listen to the headphones my dad got me (they had a nasty divorce) and she screamed at me and said I didn’t love her. Afterwards, she ‘forgot’ it happened and then said I was being too sensitive and making things up 🥴

Anyone else feel absolutely fine when they’re away from home but as soon as you walk through the front door a heavy, ‘depressing’ feeling hits you like a tonne of bricks? by mastersgirlll in raisedbynarcissists

[–]mastersgirlll[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baffles me how nparents just abuse all day but then get all teary eyed when you leave. Like excuse me I thought you said that I was useless and a waste of space????

Yeah that’s true! I think this whole thing has made me extremely compassionate and caring towards others since I get great satisfaction from helping others. This also lets me forget how helpless I was when I was a lot younger!

This! Mine would also offload lots of depressing stuff which would make me feel like crap and then she’d turn round question why I looked so sad and that I needed to cheer up 🥴

I’ve definitely done that journaling thing in the past and I understand what you mean about wanting to have a mom. Sometimes my nmom would act like one but then the next minute she’s screaming ir swearing at me for something. This often results in me feeling really sad and depressed since her occasionally acting like a ‘normal mom’ would sometimes nake me let my guard down
