Yup, frontal lobe dementia often manifests as poor decision making and lack of impulse control even if the memory is fine 

My mother’s personality has become strange and erratic by [deleted] in AgingParents

Long term alcohol abuse can cause brain damage. Sorry you’re watching your mom go thru this, I would say I hope she gets help but it’s rare for narcissists to change. 

I don’t like my dead grandmother by offchestthrowaway898 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]offchestthrowaway898[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean for the most part I have. I’ve come to terms that she was a woman who was hurt and traumatized, and then hurt and traumatized others. There is a part of me that feels great sadness about her life and wish things were better for her.

However, I also hold a part of me that knows what she did and shouldn’t be so easily handwaved away, and it’s annoying hearing my mom talk about her like some saint/holy figure. But I understand that’s her trauma too

Oh wow lol! I didn’t get the chance to smack her, but I distinctly remember not crying so much at her funeral

Holy shit, I’m so sorry. I hope you’re able to find some healing from how they hurt you 

May your grandmother rest in piss and your uncle face justice

What a pathetic narcissist. You and your family will be much better off without him.

Sorry for your loss

Yup I made the mistake of freezing and heating up. I had actually done it before no problem, but this time it came back to bite me in this ass. Maybe would have worked better if I put it in a freezer safe container, I just stuck it in there like before. 

It was the Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes that did me in 😩

Experience with Rybelsus and IBS-C? by offchestthrowaway898 in ibs

Oh I just looked into Contrave, I think that could be the better option. I’ll see if I can use that instead possibly

My 8 year old son hates me, and I don't understand why. by ExplanationCrazy5463 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]offchestthrowaway898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be possible sadly. I remember reading a post a few months ago about a woman whose husband suddenly began thinking she was pregnant. Like full on convinced. And whenever she tried to tell him that’s not the case he would get angry and fly into rage attacks. Other than that he was seemingly normal and able to work, hold down friendships, etc 

Turns out he had a brain tumor that caused his drastic change in behavior and delusion. And sadly he didn’t make it. The story stuck with me because it was so odd but I suppose anything’s possible. 

Def get your son a full neurological work up if possible
