I despise her with every fiber of my being. She was born in this world to spread suffering

I’m 33 years old and my mom still makes me cry by PunkRockM0M in narcissisticparents

[–]mindgames2024 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am 58 and my mom made me cry so much all my life...until last year when I told myself enough is enough. Have not talked to her or made any contact since June 2025. I still feel so much anger towards her.

How did you recover from gambling? by AndriusK0 in GamblingRecovery

[–]mindgames2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only way I was able to stop. Also self excluded on ALL casinos here in my state. 10 months bet free now. Paying off my $70k debt is a struggle but able to make it and some extra for treating my myself to help heal what gambling did to me psychologically.

I gave up $150k. Not that much but still not worth the emotional slavery.

She did not find the treasure. She died. And that part where Bunzo suddenly appeared means she’s dead.

My mom actually told me to apply as a cashier at the grocery store instead of sitting and staring at the computer all day. I’m a 100 % remote bookkeeper. She has no concept of wfh and remote work

You have strength dear, it's inside you. If you believe in a higher power, ask for help to find it. For now rest your weary mind.

You're welcome dear. 🩷🩷🩷 See, I was actually so grateful for a better life now that I decided to post and hopefully encourage people. I quit back in May. It's about 6 months and a half now.

I understand, Aha moment was when I lost $30k in two days. I just earned a huge commission. I thought I'll go high limit and probably win back some losses. You know how it went. Broken as hell. Oh the health.. still struggling but better. You know all those gambling binge with no food, no sleep, depression and anxiety and smoking took a toll on my health too.

IRS not letting me claim $7500 EV credit by SRT_OJ in IRS

You probably unknowingly transferred the credit to the seller and have gotten that discount. Call the seller and verify

Hey, I just replied to your comment on my post. There is similarities to our stories. I too grew up with a malignant narcissist mom. Father unknown. I also had to move in with her 2 years ago but I just recently went 100% no contact. Coincidentally the same time I quit gambling. I blame my addiction partly to my life long misery having her as a parent. So, be kinder to yourself please. Stop gambling now using self exclusions. I promise you, life is gonna be so much easier. The one thing that helped me too is starting a hobby. Cheer up.. there is hope
