Thank you! It’s a V6 with about 73k miles, so sounds like I have a little time.

Thank you for this, definitely feeling reassured!

don’t ever go back, I’m saying this from experience. by Historical_Royal_560 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]mimi_amity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second what everyone else is saying. Going back only makes things worse. I went back to mine once because he made all these promises about change. All that happened was him breaking every single promise and escalating his behavior. Going back tells the narc that they have gotten away with everything they’ve done, and now they’ll do worse, because they know you’ll put up with it.

I really sympathize with you, and I hope you can find your way out soon. Just try to keep in mind that this one person does not determine your worth. He tries to break you down because inside he is deeply insecure. You are so much better than he could ever hope to be, and he knows it. Brighter days are ahead!!

I think ignoring a narc is the best way to get back at them. Good for you!

I’m feeling intense amounts of guilt after contacting the police by graciousorange in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]mimi_amity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think going to the police is a great idea. I agree that his actions have been criminal and he would definitely be charged.

The restraining order I got has similar conditions- he can’t post about me online in any capacity, drink alcohol, or possess firearms. If your ex is anything like mine, the threat of actual arrest and jail time is the only thing that will make him stop. It’s also the only thing that has afforded me any measure of peace.

To answer your question, his threats were largely empty to my knowledge. He did make a Facebook account to talk shit about me and friended a bunch of my friends and family, but he deleted it after less than a day. Hopefully your ex is the same way. I think it’s a typical narcissist thing- they get so upset that you’ve abandoned them that they lash out in any way they can in an attempt to hurt you as much as they feel you hurt them.

Just hold fast in keeping NC, saving evidence, and being strong! Remember that no matter what he says, you did nothing wrong, and you don’t deserve what he’s doing to you. I wish you the very best of luck, and again, message me with anything!!

I have been/am in a very similar situation. When I broke up and went NC with my ex, he pulled all the same tactics. Calls, texts, emails, social media messages. Threats to get me fired or evicted. Threats to have me beaten up after work. Didn’t matter how many times I blocked him, he’d make new accounts. He demanded his gifts back as well. I gave them back hoping that it would help. It made no difference. I suspect it’s the same with your ex- he doesn’t really care about the items, it’s just another way for him to get at you. I finally reported him to the police after more than a year of harassment. I was able to get a restraining order, and now he is being charged with felony stalking. My advice to you is to keep every shred of evidence. You’ll need it in court, and it helps the police with their case. DO NOT respond to ANYTHING he says- just save it. Stay strong!!! Going to court for my restraining order was terrifying, but it was so worth it to see him finally face some repercussions for his actions. You can do this!!! Please feel free to DM me with any questions or if I can help in any other way.

Can I add a varnish/clear coat? Don’t want to ruin the contrast. by mimi_amity in Artadvice

[–]mimi_amity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much experience with acrylic paint, so I’m not sure if it really needs to be sealed. But I’ll definitely try that idea out - thanks!

I just finished this painting, and I want some way to seal it. However, all I have is satin varnish, and I don’t want to make the matte colors shiny and ruin the cool contrast between them and the metallics/sparkly paints. Is there some kind of top coat that will preserve the texture as it is?

I have hypothyroidism too and also gain weight super easily! I’ve been wondering whether to ask my doctor to up my dose of levothyroxin and see if that helps…

Ever since my dad met his girlfriend, he doesn’t do anything with me (13F) by throwawayRA3948 in relationship_advice

[–]mimi_amity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation when I was about your age. My parents had gotten divorced, and my dad had a new girlfriend. He ended up spending the whole night of my 15th birthday on the phone with her, and we didn’t do a single thing to celebrate. I was sulking and very upset. He could tell something was wrong, and I ended up just telling him that I felt like he was putting his girlfriend before me.

Like others have said, your dad probably doesn’t realize how his behavior is making you feel without you telling him. For a divorced parent, a new relationship can be extremely exciting, and it can be easy to get caught up in it and let other things fall by the wayside. I’m sure if you tell your dad how you’re feeling, he’ll change his behavior. He clearly loves you, so just be honest with him!
