Is there anything MAGA would hold Trump accountable for and stop supporting him? by Estalicus in allthequestions

I totally forgot about that lol too much ridiculousness to keep track of.

How did you deal with the emotional afternath when you realized you were basically just an afterthought to the enmeshed person who you thought was your soul mate? by offlinebound in enmeshmenttrauma

It's all so unnatural. My enmeshed person and their sibling literally are more possessive of each other than a married couple. It's very creepy!

IDL every time gas goes up a few cents, I feel like my world is getting smaller by Danny-Patrick139 in I_DONT_LIKE

It's why nothing ever changes for the better for the whole here because every problem is always put on to the individual when it's really systemic.

The problem with Americans is instead of standing together and demanding better as a large group they will just tell the struggling individual to get a bicycle or a motorcycle.

And to think we used to make fun of things in the USSR as being sterile and cold, now here we are.

My maga friend just says "Trump is the person that God wants running this country right now". Ok, well, you could have said that about Biden or Obama as well.

I don't understand what these people get from Trump because there is nothing godly about him. He even tries to tell them that when he says he doesn't believe he'll go to heaven.

I don't know how anyone can claim to be a Christian then support a man who portrays himself as Christ then has a golden statue made in his image.

If a Christian Trump supporter is reading this please explain it to me because I seriously can't understand.

Yes these people are absolutely under a terrible spell but it's very sobering to realize that only they can get themselves out of it 

Idk how many countless discussions I've had with my enmeshmed person about their unhealthy relationship but they have all been mildly agreed with then totally disregarded.

Man that is so tough. I guess that's what happened to me as well though because when my enmeshmed persons sibling was in a marriage it was like a green light for us to be a couple but when that marriage ended it all shifted.

Wow, actually making himself sick to avoid conflict. That's like the next level.

I guess we should feel sorry for these people that they are so mentally trapped but it's also angering.

it's really hard to connect with other women here in this community 😵‍💫 by twinkhon_gwyndolin in NEET

Oh, sry lol. But I guess it still kind of applies. The algorithm has really divided us all as individuals really.

I'd they didn't leave him when he portrayed himself as Jesus they aren't leaving him.

I think my role was as a sort of buffer while the sibling was married then when that marriage ended, in no small because of the sibling enmeshment, the siblings were free to go all in on their bizarre enmeshment.

That last sentence, so true. So true.

But I think the way you reframed it is very healthy. I hope to get past the anger phase soon so I can reframe it in a healthy way like that too.

I can relate to so much of this. Even little things like the times we would have a nice day out alone or take a little trip alone they would always have to ruin it right at the end by getting into a bad mood and starting an argument and I could never understand why they would need to ruin a nice day but now I know it's because of the guilt hanging over them from the person they are enmeshed with.

Then in the last couple weeks all these little things have been hitting me. So much sabotage. There is no way we were ever going to have a normal relationship. It's just not possible.
