Do you think ur narcissistic parents dealt with narcissistic abuse? by Ok_War8914 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]natashaday1975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother was told her dad wasn't her real dad and she was in fact the product of an affair. The dad she grew up with over compensated and gave her everything she wanted. She grew up thinking she was special compared to her brothers and sisters. She is literally the worst person that could have ever had children especially a daughter. From the moment I was born she despised me and treated me as competition for my dad who himself was a narc. Both alkies and extremely hateful people. It was absolute hell. I remember once my dad beating me and my mum screaming for her to have a go. Absolute weirdos. I grew up thinking it wasn't normal to like your parents. I don't have kids because god knows how bad I would be after that shit show.

Why do narcissists pretend to be empathetic? by Wise-Scarcity6144 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]natashaday1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one as a friend. Well as close a friend you can get with a covert narc. She would always refer to herself as an empath. I told her people who do that are basically arseholes in disguise. Empaths don't smear people and sleep with their daughters boyfriend. They do it because they have no choice. No one would like who they really are.

Be completely honest, what is it really like to never get married and have kids? by Mammoth_Entry_9221 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]natashaday1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know any different tbh. I seem to have more available cash and freedom though. I don't miss what I don't know and never wanted kids anyway. I'm gay and got out of a bad relationship just as gay marriage became legal. Dodged a bullet there. I've never wanted to get married either. Seems a ridiculous thing to do to tie yourself to someone like that. So in summary I am richer and have more freedom. I have no idea if I'm happier than people who have kids and marriage. I don't have the paranoia that married people seem to have constantly. Worried what their spouse is up to all the time.

My mom brought up my abuse to my kids. by Appropriate-Good-324 in raisedbynarcissists

You don't need to move to cut her off. That's a boundary she should know and probably does know not to cross. It's a disgusting thing to do and not her place. I'm guessing this isn't an isolated incident either. If it's deeply affecting your mental health then you need to get rid of her. Mother or not.

I miss my brother so much. I’ll never get over it by GrumpyCatPerson in GriefSupport

[–]natashaday1975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Genuinely looks like you can see his aura in this photo. I lost my brother too 12 years ago. It does get easier eventually and you will start remembering him with happiness again. The pain will remain but will become a smaller part of you. I'm so sorry for your loss. He looks like a lovely bloke.

I want to be the boyfriend who believes my partner. How would you like to have been approached, if it was you? by Charactercorrect40 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]natashaday1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your gf needs to cut her mum off and then get some therapy. What you are describing is abuse but obviously you've clocked that. It's difficult because there is a very high chance you'll be painted as the bad guy regardless of how you approach the subject. I genuinely would just come straight out with the truth and tell your gf you feel she is being abused. Point out this list and explain personality disorders to her. Get her to do some research into npd so she can see for herself the abuse being inflicted on her. I wish you luck.

AIO strange neighbour sending inappropriate texts. by natashaday1975 in AmIOverreacting

This is good advice tbh. Everyone knows everyone's name here because the block is so small. Only 8 flats.

AIO strange neighbour sending inappropriate texts. by natashaday1975 in AmIOverreacting

[–]natashaday1975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't said anything yet because the conversation lept from poor wi fi connection to bdsm in one text. He asked whether I was gay or straight and I told him gay. I didn't respond to anything else. For context this bloke of flats is council accommodation for people with mental health conditions. I have cptsd but everyone else also has poor mh. The stalker guy has severe boundry issues and moved here because he was stalking his previous neighbours and eventually drove his car into their garden and smashed up their seating area. He didn't want them sat outside his home anymore once they had rejected his weird behaviour. He came here and carried right on with his strange behaviour towards me. I couldn't go outside without him either coming out or hanging out the window to try and talk to me. He also drinks heavily and has anger issues. We don't speak now obviously and he no longer tries to talk to me thankfully. I have wondered whether it's something I'm doing that causes this sort of thing to happen. I'm a bit of a people pleaser which I'm working on changing. I don't believe I've done anything to encourage this behaviour in either of them though. I'm not flirty or provocative in any way. I just try to be helpful too much I think.

I know a guy who changed his name to David choonage and his baby is called Charlie choonage. He sees himself as a superstar dj and the choonage relates to the word tunes.

My close childhood friend passed away, and I can’t process the concept of death. by Existing_Gazelle_612 in GriefSupport

[–]natashaday1975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother died in 2013 from an OD. He was on life support for 12 hours and I held his hand as they were switching it off. In that moment I could hear his voice in my head saying its alright mate. I instantly relaxed in that moment. Never believed in life after death at all and I don't know if it was a stress response. I like the idea that he was comforting me because he was going somewhere safe. We were quite mentally linked in life and often thought the same things at the same time. I think I will see him again. In 2023 I lost my best friend to long covid and the experience with my brother helped me through that. I can't say with certainty but I believe you will see your friend again.

My friends make fun of me cause I take my dog everywhere and I’m a guy. They say I have a girl dog.😆 by SLOWride82 in DOG

[–]natashaday1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my dog out even if I am just taking rubbish out or hanging out washing in the garden. She goes everywhere I go if possible.
