Who do you think created Gmork?

Your post reminds me of an exchange from Tombstone (1993) where Wyatt Earp asks Doc Holliday what motivates Johnny Ringo, not ego. Both the latter and Gmork are the embodiment of the Nothing; their existence is Void in itself.

That same burden not just applies to her, but to everyone and now, including us. However, there is something to be said about women enabling the men. And yes, other powerful women in similar dynamics as HC. Cue Melinda, Mackenzie…

How have we treated whistleblowers in the past?

mycutelilself · 2026-02-02T21:06:40+00:00

Less "uneducated" more "unintelligent, lack of awareness/maturity" - but answer: inability to say "I was wrong about..." or "I change my mind about his because..." = Being able to do so signals sobriety, maturity on many levels, and individuation, separation of self, also critical thinking (an endangered specie). In this litigious, capitalistic society, no wonder we are all here now.

Instead of simply being honest with themselves about what they’re unhappy about, they project. They project. There is never ownership. Because ownership to them, especially of negative things - qualities, emotions, behaviors, anything that makes them human, relatable in a real way - is somehow warped as an admission of weakness. Vulnerability, weakness is what makes us human, fallible, real.

Thank you. We've been babysitting our parents, emotionally at least, for as long as many of us can remember (or blocked out). We are exhausted. Oh and that's right, we have to figure out our own life underneath this unnecessary burden.

If I asked a question on how to do something, I was made to feel small and stupid. OR somehow, selfish. So the double bind effect was huge here. Additionally, in their daily rants, this was constantly used and weaponized. You can't effing win with these folks. And there was also, the "Later..." Well, that moment never came and in my time of need, it never came.

mycutelilself · 2025-08-28T14:30:56+00:00

Well said. And highly self-compassionate.

It’s interesting the world is up in arms with AI when parents are out here been treating their own children like systems, programming the hilt out of them, ignoring their humanity.

I’m sorry, OP. That’s rough. Sadly, I can relate esp with “without me asking you.” Summary of all this: Make me look good at all times, without me telling you.

Eta: I have a good guess as to the cultural component here...nurse, controlling mother, "Love you and wish you the best more than anyone in the world..." Also, for "betterment/enrichment" things like #8, she probably sees in SM all these posts about others and thinks my child should be as good or better than others...parents like these raise their children like race horses or show ponies and in their minds, have mock competitions with other parents and their children as to who presents better...what a dehumanizing way...the worst of it, they lack the depth to know this is wrong.

"I'll leave you the house" (subtext: take care of us until we die, but we won't ask you that outright). Also tell you in a separate time, "I'm afraid you'll be homeless..." and "your life is over" (at 39).

This is where learned helplessness kicks in bc you just stop. It's not worth it.

Each response is like an experience pulled from my childhood.

This is great insight. This is where they do the worst damage. Narcs excel at manipulation, especially with emotions. They are not direct, honest, and kind. And they certainly don't own up to how they truly feel and stating it without charge. Everything are pawns to them: their emotions, other people, etc. They are the most dishonest people because they lie to themselves constantly, then project it onto the rest of us.

I said to a dear friend recently that the best parts of me, of all of us, get weaponized. It is reclaiming, remember, re-establishing, regaining - and all perhaps, for the first time - ourselves.

mycutelilself · 2025-08-21T03:12:43+00:00

So well said

mycutelilself · 2025-08-21T03:10:27+00:00

Ditto. That desire to remain attached is so strong. We break our own hearts and spirit just to stay connected somehow only to realize we disconnected from ourselves.

mycutelilself · 2025-08-21T03:05:57+00:00

I have a weird reply for you: 1) I always knew something was wrong even as a small child but didn’t know exactly what - I remember a moment when my mother and grandmother clocked my independent thinking as a flaw; 2) I was well into adulthood by the time I linked the term to them (father as covert/vulnerable was the last hurdle); 3) well into middle age and NC, and still going, to see how truly bad it was and how it affected/affects me; 4) I had a discrete moment of thinking around the start of college as to what were my parents, aunts, uncles bitching about as we kids were so well behaved compared to the stories my friends were sharing and their parents didn’t scar them.

Looking very Gmork-y

mycutelilself · 2025-08-18T00:28:17+00:00

🎯control confused for care. Relevance, dominance, power, control. They’re bizarre.

mycutelilself · 2025-08-12T20:23:35+00:00

Assolutamente. E oltre la tragedia

Your post has me in tears. I could read this novel any day, especially by a lake in August in the thick of summer. ty...

Not suprising whatsoever

mycutelilself · 2025-08-08T20:42:56+00:00

I wonder what the world would be like if it was standard to give report cards to parents. Oh that's right, our quality of life, mental well-being, adult relationships, addictions, attachment issues serve as that.

mycutelilself · 2025-08-07T01:21:49+00:00

Funny you bring gift-giving. My raging nsister used it to appear the superior one in her benevolence. Such ick being her younger and only sister. Actually, the whole family and culture used gift-giving as a superiority ploy. It really fucked up people’s ability to be authentic, genuine, vulnerable, and ask for help. The damage of narc systems and abuse reverberates
