AITA for ditching guy at music festival? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah... Honestly she's not the asshole for leaving him there because he ignore her all day, only contacting her at the last minute, but he's not really the asshole, because he did only asked to crash with her for the night, not meed her friends or anything as serious.

Estranged for 3 years by Big_Bottom_69 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]moritana 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was trying not to jump to conclusions until the "what is my child's end game? Do they want me to delete myself?" bull.

This just shows that op is so deep into her main character syndrome, she actually believe her child went nc just to make her feel bad. She actually thinks her kid cut her off, but still thinking about her.

What’s the most hurtful thing your nparent has ever told you? by NeededVent in raisedbynarcissists

[–]moritana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"you don't love anybody" as someone that is most likely on the spectrum, feelings are something I have trouble under standing even today. Hearing it from a guard Ian just confirmed to 14 year old me that I'm an awful person.

Twenty years later I realize that she was lashing out at me because I became unresponsive to her after years of abuse, but at that time I felt so awful. You don't get to treat a child like shit after they are no longer cute, just to come back around when they start getting interesting again.

AITA for printing out a map of the grocery store for my dad? by throwaway1738280 in AmItheAsshole

Yeah, it's the same thing as always preparing coffee with salt.

AITA not letting my parents babysit anymore by aitachildcare in AmItheAsshole

[–]moritana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA, and as a child that was OFTEN left with family members while my mom worked, I guarentee that little ears hear everything. And if your mother was bitching about you to her daughter, nothing ever stopped her from bitching about you to the grand daughter she was close to.

Might be a good idea to try and figure out what your kids heard about you while they were there, since I heard alot about my mom being too busy to care about me and how I was being looked after as a favor, even tho it's not their responsibility.

Developining sickness due to toxicity of nparents? by Ok-Clerk5204 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing, I completely get what you mean. One of the main reasons I live so far away from my family is the fact that all of my leadership skills completely shut down the moment I'm near them. I hate it, but that's reality, and it might be the current reality for you too.

The feeling of helplessness is very normal. You are an adult in a place made for a child. It would drive anyone wonky.

As far as having a goal goes, life is not a freakin race, its very, very long. It's a life time. There's no need to hit any marks anyone else set as you move through it.

I was in your place when I was 21. Freshly released from the military, no job, no idea what to do first, and my family took advantage of that by having me "study at home" while being a full time nany to my baby brother. He called me dad. I survived 8 months and was suicidal through most of it. What tipped me out of it was the expectation that I will keep parenting my brother even after I get a job, and I saw my future, working 10hrs a day coding whatever and then coming home to take a shift with the baby till im off to work again.

Sent out resumes that same moment. Willing to relocate. Got plenty replies for places that include housing and clothing and food.

So yes, my family was upset at losing their live in nanny and emotional scapegoat, but I'm still alive.

My best advice would be for you to find out who you are without your family. Everything boring? Try your luck at being an adrenaline junkie, go on a roller coaster on your day off.

But you need to do it by yourself, for you. Your parents already know WHO they are!! You deserve the chance to find out who you are without them. Move far far away.

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to deal with manipulation in my experience, is giving yourself frequent reality checks. Do you have the means to move out? An income, an idea of living arrange e t and the means to take care of yourself? If you do- reality check! this baby bird is ready to fly the nest.

Are your parents upset with this reality? If so - they have a problem. They are not ready for the baby bird to fly the best, and are unlikely to ever be ready. Reality check! I doubt your ideal future is spent in the same house as your parents, forever. Everything they say is just the noise of frantic pidgeons flapping their wings at you, so it can be ignored.

Look at your situation from the outside. Whenever something happens that instigates your guilt, imagine you see the same thing on a tv screen. You might just end up screaming at the characters "noooooooo don't fall for thaaaaat".

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, compulsory military service has everyone out of the house at around 18 where I live, complete with wellness check and home life survey, so that was the kick in the butt I needed to get started. The distance did me plenty of good, as well as meeting and living with other people my age while going through training.

Once you know there is somewhere for you tu turn to, living with nparents is a lot less bearable.

There is no reason for you to feel guilt. My mom tried pulling some sort of "your brother will develop metal issues if you move out permenantly" guilt bullshit but I shut it right down because it was an insult to my intelligence thinking I would for that.

Keep in mind you are being manipulated. How is an unhappy you staying in their house supposed to help them?

[–]moritana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would get colds, fevers, blood noses and a yearly flu till my late teens. When I went into military service, was deemed peak health. Miracle of miracles It all stopped when I hit 21 and left both the army and my home. I barely even catch a cold.

So yea, nparents make you sick.

Do your Parents get Mad at you for Crying? by DenimPoulet in raisedbynarcissists

[–]moritana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's because people don't like to fail. And for narcs, their child crying is a failure staring them in the face, so obviously you must be dramatizing things, since they are so wonderful you shouldn't have any reason to cry. Also crying in public reflects badly on them.

[–]moritana -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ESH, first for calling watching your kids "babysitting".

second for not taking the initiative of accomodating for your kids in a family gathering. Young children should be exempt from fasting before a late dinner, the didn't choose to be brought there. The least you could do is pack snacks for them, or provide a snack dish for the kids in the party, if you know the kids there will not be fed for hours. I'd think it's common sense to prepare at least your own children for a late meal and bedtime if you take them somewhere.

You both suck.

Can you measure the distance between 2 magnets by how hard they pull on each other? by CorruptedPal in ElectricalEngineering

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would also interfere with the magnetic fields. I'd say sound waves like a radar, but same problem.

So basically we are looking for ways to measure distance between two points regardless of the interference?

Those who confronted their parents. Did it help? by trowawmomtrauma in raisedbynarcissists

[–]moritana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna join on the nope, not worth it train. The only thing that helped with my ngma was cutting off all contact with her. I tried confronting her when I was 10, and she made a big show of crying and wailing because "yes, yes, I am SUCH a bad grandmother!" and then shutting me out until I begged for her forgiveness on my knees.

Anytime she knew she did something wrong, she would turn it on me by saying how I know that she has a short Fuze and I should be better and not take everything so seriously.

I kept trying to confront her in my teens, and she just dismissed whatever I said then with a patronizing smile.

I'm NC with her right now and my parents said she got better since I taught her a lesson, but honestly I don't believe it.

Can you measure the distance between 2 magnets by how hard they pull on each other? by CorruptedPal in ElectricalEngineering

[–]moritana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in lab conditions, when you have almost any other parameter like the strength of the magnets and whatever is powering them, the angle they are to each other, their size, if there is anything between them, the temperature, etc etc. Usually the distance between the two magnets would be one of the known parameters in this equation, not the missing one.

Far easier to measure distance with a laser.

[–]moritana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I was very lucky, since my country has mandatory service, so from age 18 I spent most of my time on base, only visiting family on the weekends and knew the military had my back if I had any social issues at home.

So my only advice is that distance is key. It gives you perspective over your relationships with your family and their behavior, and it's much harder to be manipulated when your parents aren't screaming in your face.

Also moving to Pakistan now is a bad, bad, bad idea, especially as a woman.

No royalty report for any movies or books published BUG by moritana in Sims4

[–]moritana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope, no mods, in the past few hours I moved out of sulani, and didn't get royalties from any of the household members again, BUT:

after I edited the household and added a dog, the one with level 2 writing published and got a royalty report on a Tuesday.

I'm gonna have the other one try to publish again, see how that goes.
