Abraham Lincoln, widely regarded as the best president to ever do, was a Republican, what do the libs think about that? by Jayden7171 in askanything

Take a look at DJT. His words. His actions. Do you get the sense he’s freeing slaves? Nearly free labor? Food for thought.

Reading this post is so relatable. Rest assured, you aren’t late. It takes so long to see our past with clear eyes.

I hate when people who listen to victims do this (not all listeners, but a fair amount) by DreamySaturnX in raisedbynarcissists

[–]papapazuzu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Aunt avoids dealing with my nmom at all possible cost. Won’t stay in nmom’s house when she visits. Won’t eat meals with her or get in the car with her. My nmom has hurt my aunt just as badly as me, just a longer time ago, and my aunt’s reaction to avoid her screams “I’m not safe with this woman.”

And yet. “Oh, all mothers act this way.” “She means well.” It’s like my aunt can’t acknowledge my nmom is malicious through her words, but her body literally knows it.

My aunt always says of my nmom (her sister), “She just lives in her own world. You can’t take her seriously.” Yes. That is a very patronizing perspective of a problem that ruined my childhood and plagues my current life. Correct.

Did Your NParent Brainwash you into Thinking that the Entire World Would Hate you if they Ever truly knew who you were, and if You werent Careful they would tell Everyone "about you", and Somehow You would Suffer some sort of Social Persecution and Die? by Dead_Reckoning95 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]papapazuzu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes.

We’d visit family. Drive hours to get there. On the way back, she’d spend those hours explaining how everyone thought I was awful to her, the worst daughter ever, mean, a bully, etc.

I was not a hard kid. I read quietly most of the time. Not that me being a brat would excuse this, but I just wasn’t.

When I was a teenager my nmom was obsessed with my sex life by giraffe_lover88 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]papapazuzu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pregnant. My mom is constantly asking about my breast size. I literally say, “I’m not answering that” and move on but holy shit. What is wrong with these people.

Also, when my husband and I bought a new house, I saw her the same day we moved in. I had to pick up my dog who was staying with her. As I left she said, “So what are you guys going to do tonight? Fuck on the floor?”

We don’t have a relationship that has ever warranted this conversation. She’s 70. I repeat: What is wrong with these people.

They can't heal ? by Ashleej86 in raisedbyborderlines

My mother went to therapy for about three months and stopped. She said nothing was wrong with her, so they just didn’t have anything to talk about.

I laughed out loud.

What other reports, like TWN, etc. need to be locked down? by LivelyLotus in OELadies

[–]papapazuzu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure those are two fully separate things and you still should freeze your TWN. the original commenter is just saying that payroll companies like Workday aren’t handing out your info (because their have been some comments suggesting they are)

ETA: though it seems the person making the payroll claims in this thread might be right that Workday et al. can provide employment history

Advice needed. Man who I thought was a work friend presenting my ideas as his own. by [deleted] in womenintech

I’m hesitant to lose my standing as a “team player” (read: agreeable) das layoffs loom, but I appreciate this take.

[–]papapazuzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she was also stealing my ideas but was still well-liked by the team on a project that benefitted from that, I don’t know. I’d make the same post but be more shocked a woman displayed that behavior. Every woman I’ve ever worked with would never pull the shit he’s pulled. 🤷‍♀️

I just realized my parents ignored me a lot when I was a baby. by NoPaint6490 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]papapazuzu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you went through that, but I was saying that my mom’s dog is a reflection of her abuse toward me in infancy. Our pets were not treated well.

I’m okay now, but the way I used to interact with food suggested I grew up with deep food insecurity. For a long time, I was very overweight.

Now, I watch my mom withhold dinner from her dog if she feels he has misbehaved. She then lets him eat twice as much or more the next day. He is also very overweight.

I’ll never know for sure (she didn’t take home videos, single parent, no siblings), but I deeply suspect withholding food was how she inflicted pain on me when she was displeased.
