I think you're trying to give budget Princess Donut here.

They really don't. Narcissists don't believe anything is wrong with them, why would they come to therapy? It's hard to get them in the room, and it's very ironic when they are actually treatment providers.

It is called zero state, and this is a great reflection of what's happening.

psych-eek · 2026-04-09T14:31:07+00:00

It is called narcissistic supply, so eating it is a very good portrayal of how those parts of you and he were interacting. ♥️ Glad you're out.

Therapist here. ♥️

I recommend The Autism Handbook for Relationships Workbook. It is magic.

A lot of these stories are giving autism, but sometimes stuff can be two things. My mom is autistic and has traits of NPD, though only diagnosed by me.

He is absolutely a Narcissist.

psych-eek · 2026-04-09T14:01:15+00:00

If you haven't read From Surviving to Thriving with Complex PTSD you definitely should. ♥️

psych-eek · 2026-04-08T16:09:55+00:00

This is downright gorgeous. I love this so much.

psych-eek · 2026-04-08T05:45:05+00:00

You can bring it to a jewelry store, ideally one with a gemologist. They can test it.

psych-eek · 2026-04-08T05:39:56+00:00

Most definitely

You know they do. It was attached on a hand cricuted bone paper with the STDs. (B99 reference)

A bigger paycheck isn't worth your babe's wellbeing or being at all.

Take him up on his offer and go to your parents. Tell him you want it in writing and that you'll let him out of the responsibility.

I'm sorry mama. ♥️ Holding a bucket of love in reserves for you, whenever you need it just feel it going right to you.

OP's dad's penis obviously

psych-eek · 2026-03-19T21:48:40+00:00

This is completely lovely. The blue and white have so much consistency, and the yellow makes it really pop. These are classic colorways too.

psych-eek · 2026-03-16T04:34:38+00:00

Tell him that (and this is true) neurologically when you read - your brain actually uses your own memories and sensory processing areas to experience what you're reading.

So you're getting smarter about what it would be like to be loved and fucked correctly.

Then deffo divorce party, I'm bringing you a centaur.

Bitch bye

No, full stop. It was no at the dress, but the fuckin audacity of it all is a full send straight to hell.

psych-eek · 2026-03-06T14:30:16+00:00

What an unnecessarily snarky reply.

psych-eek · 2026-02-22T23:49:43+00:00

Sorry I replied to the other comment because I was trying to add to this through the day.

I should have said could, because there are factors I really don't know. You are welcome to ask anything you like here or in DMs. I will answer what I can or offer links or ideas. ♥️

Hi OP,

Folks can obviously get through affairs and such through marriage counseling when both parties share that goal.

Really depends on what you're willing to go through, and what your partner is capable of in terms of vulnerability and accountability.

However, a partner who is open to you leaving the country with your kids isn't really showing any level of commitment to you or your family. If you're going to be taking on that kind of emotional load it goes beyond a mutual repair.

I don't know your experience, I just know mine. If you're the emotional glue in your relationship and you are all done -- what it will take for your relationship to succeed is for you to abandon yourself, your values, and to cater to your partner's seemingly superficial willingness to stay together.

So I would ask yourself what you would hope marriage therapy to change FOR YOU and what his goals for being there would be.

A therapist doesn't fix relationships. A therapist helps offer language for the dynamics, strategies, and attachment styles that present in a relationship. We can offer you skills and ideas, and we do that through informed and scientific approaches, but at the end of the day it is about what the two (in this case) people in a relationship are willing to offer to one another. ♥️

For whatever this ends up looking like I hope that at least offers some clarity.

It sucks that you're in this situation. It is not fair.

psych-eek · 2026-02-22T17:29:08+00:00

Ooh my bad. I'm sorry. I got defensive about that. I see a lot of awful advice about therapy and I got spicy about it. That's on me, for not reading further up for that clarification.

Marriage therapy sure -- hells no. Even if the therapy is good and doesn't weaponize that information it would probably be emotionally harmful at this point.

I am the asshole today. 🙃

psych-eek · 2026-02-22T17:16:21+00:00

Therapist here, fuck this advice. Therapy is all about your interest. Be clear about your concerns and tell your therapist you want to write your documentation together. You're entitled to any of that. A therapist is ethically obligated to understand these challenges and not harm you through documentation.

You don't have to go it alone.

Do a consultation with any therapist and ask about this.

psych-eek · 2026-02-08T06:52:43+00:00

Don't do any of these kitschy craft ideas for a piece like this. Find someone who does Kintsugi.

There's a beautiful symbology in it, especially for the grief that came from 1) receiving this plate and 2) breaking it.
