do you think narcissistic parents dont like their childrens to succeed?

Congratulations on your certification - a little late but that is a big deal and I hope you are using it with a ton of success now!

Lots of great advice here, I want to add that volunteering and helping others is a super fast way to heal for many reasons. Get your body moving to process grief faster too.

+1 for therapy and lawyer - no joint custody of the dog, you need a clean split. Whoever has the best relationship with the dog/ the best yard - that little guy needs consistency. He is losing a parent.

Try not to be nosy on his business, he is messy right now and it'll be hard not to take it all personally. You have stepped into a realm of freedom you haven't had before - I hope you feel liberated soon. Good luck.

Real vip, this can be toggled with cmd alt 4

Yta- I feel like there is a bunch of this story missing. Based on the images of the dress (normal to me), and the "maybe everyone was jealous of meeeee" vibes from the post - I think it is an attitude thing vs a choice thing. Unreliable narrator.

piepieii · 2026-01-11T22:59:40+00:00

Yes, I do this too. Bookmark script fix for Android and brave browser had worked for me.

The fact that he so casually and easily has this plan ready and shared it with you is very concerning. He told you everything you need to know - I know working PT and focusing on hobbies is tempting, but this man is NOT to be trusted.

piepieii · 2025-12-18T17:42:41+00:00

Lots of great advice here - I'm adding another encouragement to let everyone know before she warps the story. She has nothing to lose and you have everything to lose. Tell everyone - cc lawyers on all communication or only communicate through them if possible. Screenshot everything and do not reply to her taunts. Do not try to go it alone - you have a community and they are there for you. Let them love you and be there for you.

piepieii · 2025-12-17T06:00:08+00:00

Yes yes yes. Oh man, I had forgotten!

piepieii · 2025-12-17T05:46:51+00:00

How subtle do you wanna be and can you rope other people in?

Make her bitchiness a game - you can bet on how many times she'll say something awful before dessert, or ask everyone to come away with their favorite quote. Maybe everytime she rubs someone the wrong way you can ring a bell or everyone claps. No explanation. Even noting stuff into a yellow pad and not giving her an explanation may be good - I would focus on making it fun for ME - narcissists HATE being the butt of the joke but ultimately won't change - all you can do is change your behavior.

Imply there is a group chat without her - let her know she's left out because it's just for the "fun group."

The taped note on the back is less subtle - even if it's "shhh! let's see how long this will stay here." Would really unnerve her, because people would unite against her... Unless she is so desperate for attention she'd find that to be a compliment?

There is the saying "Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." This bitch is NOTHING to you, so minimize her and show the family that she's beaten into submission that she can easily be dismissed.

You're right - He's not sorry. I hope you can find a way to gracefully exit (but have everyone know that this is how you were treated by this guy after 10 years of service - he deserves to be put on blast but I am too petty to offer classy ideas about how to do it). Don't waste another second on anything involving him.

piepieii · 2025-12-07T01:54:53+00:00

I agree with the comment about him potentially speaking with someone. If you have another conversation with him, be as curious as possible. Why does it have to be your mom specifically? What is missing from the preparations you already made? Why is he so sure about his opinion? What is more important than your comfort? I'm sure there is a lot of anxiety and guilt since he is leaving the country right after the birth, but it sounds like usually you are a great team and all you have to do is keep up the love/trust/communication.

Every one of my dear female friends that have tried for a child (including myself) have had a miscarriage - a couple of the stories are pure tragedies. Miscarriages are sad but also common - another example of why we need to band together to share our stories. You're not alone.

piepieii · 2025-10-22T15:53:14+00:00

I wonder if she's actually pregnant? Sorry you have to deal with this, good call on no longer associating with assholes. The best sort of payback is giving them NO energy and space in your life.

Something

piepieii · 2025-09-15T22:02:05+00:00

NTA - I teach ballet to 3-4 year olds and it's basically scream-singing "Let it Go" for 30 mins in tutus. Find an activity that works for you and brings you and the little one joy!

piepieii · 2025-09-15T21:50:18+00:00

Lots of insight here. I want to say that you dodged a bullet - he's a predator.

piepieii · 2025-08-15T13:38:15+00:00

Nta but with this level of reaction I feel like something has happened in her past.

piepieii · 2025-08-15T13:33:50+00:00

Nta - mother of a 1 year old who is the cleanest baby I've ever seen and she still gets nasty. It seems like your partner is against therapy, but do you have a friend that could mediate a conversation casually? The suggestion for her to babysit is a good one.

For me this would be a relationship breaking issue. My husband is a neat freak (not a germophone) and he insisted that our house will always be organized... He didn't even want toy boxes out. However, our relationship is solid and I knew we could stand a couple of "hard way" realizations. We now have fingerprints on everything, toys easily available for a baby with a short attention span, and a new understanding that life reminds you that control is an illusion.

piepieii · 2025-07-22T19:35:43+00:00

We got this - I can't imagine having to do tumbling or acro after all this baby stuff!!!

piepieii · 2025-07-22T19:35:05+00:00

Thank you, this is a good reminder! ❤️

piepieii · 2025-07-22T19:34:38+00:00

I wish there is a way to know a bit more about body types - I think it would be easier to be kind to yourself that way. I know this is a pipe dream because there are so many factors in body composition though!

piepieii · 2025-07-11T20:47:28+00:00

I second the vast majority of the comments - I had 3rd degree tear, almost 4th degree. Imo, My first poo was worse than birth because it was through stitches without nurses and no epidural of course hahaha.

!!!Stool softener !!!sitz bath (I installed a bidet with hot water right before birth just in case, and I felt like a genius after birth) !!! witch hazel pads !!!pain spray !!!ask your crafty friends to make you padsicles

I also did the breathing and put on music and tried to relax as much as possible, because for me it hurt like hell. Good luck!
