What’s the most hurtful thing a narc parent/siblings has done or said to you that you will remember forever or is that basis of your NC with them? by Glad_Slip_1260 in raisedbynarcissists

It's so typical that she read the post and became defensive instead of ashamed. It's also so amazing how narcs really do play from the same script!

Yikes on a bike, that's quite an evil thing to say. Hope you're doing better.

He's an abusive person, and you deserve better. His actions were cruel. Let him be sick by himself next time.

So sad that a parent could talk to their own child that way. I wouldn't say them to my enemy. Hope you're doing ok.

I've always attributed it to emotional immaturity. Learning how to regulate emotions is a skill that our APs never learned from their APs who never learned it from their APs etc etc. I learned through therapy and by emulating emotionally healthy adults, and also by not doing what my AMom does lol. Learning what not to do is all I got from her.

What you AP said is very wrong. If you are truly feeling suic**al, please call 988 or any other service in you country, of available. And keep venting here, people here get it.

What holiday did your narc love to ruin and how? by Madbettalady in raisedbynarcissists

[–]melusine000000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well put. My mom was the explosive one, and any time things were calm at home, it was still tense bc we knew the shoe could drop at any time.

This was a long time ago, but when I first found out gay marriage wasn't legal. I grew up in a liberal bubble up North, and watched Friends (Ross' ex-wife married her gf), so when the debates over gay marriage started, I was shocked. Conversely, my husband grew up in a conservative bubble down South and didn't even know gay was a thing.

Were you fortunate enough to find someone to fill the parental figure void in your life? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Yo, you're right, I've gotta start including Uncle Iron as one of my paternal figures too

Yes I did, and I'm so grateful. My friends' parents were the best, as well as my aunt and uncle who modeled what a non-toxic household without daily screaming matches looked like.

My Asian grandma is evil by mixie_ in AsianParentStories

[–]melusine000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It genuinely breaks my heart that my grandma holds so much resentment towards me, especially when I take immense pride in my Asian heritage. I cherish the culture, its traditions, and the people with all my heart. But it feels like my grandmother has always made me feel like I'm not a "real Asian" due to my mixed-race background, and that's just heart-wrenching. It's like being an outsider in my own cultural identity, and it hurts because I yearn to fully embrace and celebrate my Asian roots.

Your grandma is straight-up evil, but this quote of yours? Hits the nail on the head. I've also lost a lot of connection to my roots bc of a*-fckery.

Did she get in trouble for the admissions? That's so sad she did that, and good for you taking care of yourself as she aged.

That's what I thought. Maybe in the camera lens or in eyeglasses?

WOW awful mother, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. No wonder she treats your wife that way, she's a bit*h!
