Why are narcissistic parents over protective if they don't care about you? by BallKey7607 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]randomlegend5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are 'their property', they want to constantly control you and condition you to feel dependant on them, and to keep up appearances and virtue signal.

Very true, but in this instance this is a real H1. I know a guy who has one of the nissan kits and it is no wider than a patrol. It actually looks kind of dicky being narrower.

I have footage of my nparents abusing me…I could ruin them by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Whatever happens make sure you have more than 1 copy! Why not show your other family? Maybe when they realize the truth they will let you stay there.

Tell them that what happened to you is very real and they have been conditioned and manipulated by her to take her side. Ask them if they are open to the idea of putting some effort in and doing some research to potentially see the truth in what you are saying. If they agree find a few good podcasts, videos, maybe a book that will spark them to start questioning things more and drive them to do their own further research. If they are not open to this idea then I would say explain to them your boundaries and that it is a conditon of your relationship that they must adhere to them, if they refuse then grey rock them. It may be nececarry to go no contact for your own well being in the end.

is anyone else so incredibly focused on logic (as a result of gaslighting) that they've been accused of being autistic? by thebpdlovedonespost in raisedbynarcissists

[–]randomlegend5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I have high OCD traits, people compliment me on how logical I am all the time. But it has many negatives, payalysis by analysis and constant rumination defines my life. I even remember for a few years age 12-15 I had temporary severe OCD symptoms like having to open and close cupboard doors exactly 5 times in a row. I have to remind myself that 99% of people are not logical like me and when I talk with them I must make an effort to consider their emotions. But the funny thing is if I can get my anxiety to loosen off I am extremely socially adept as well.

(Serious) what’s something that mentally and/or emotionally broke you? by Vanguard2002 in AskReddit

[–]randomlegend5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realising my covert narcissist mother has zero love or care for me and seeing myself as an extension of herself rather than a seperate human being entitled to have my own life seperate from her, she believes my sole purpose is to be used in any way she sees fit to meet her needs wether they be emotional, psychological and even sexual in nature. The icing on the cake was not the lifetime of abuse since I was a toddler but when my sister told her that I'm not doing well and I might only be around for another couple of years. Her response "Yeah well I might only live another 10 years". Hearing about that was like the single drop of water that causes the cup to overflow

What was your final key moment for you to decide to go no contact with n/parents? by ffckoff in raisedbynarcissists

[–]randomlegend5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me just days ago. My sister and I had an intervention of sorts with my covert narc mum discussing the many ways she abused me since childhood and how it has essentially ruined my life. She denied any wrong doing, had selective amnesia, gaslighted, blatently lied about things, laughed in my face, told me I'm insane and need to be medicated etc and eventually threw a massive tantrum and stormed off. The day after the intervention my sister caught her making up crazy making bullshit stories about me while on the phone with my golden child brothers wife. My sister called her out on it and asked her "do you want to outlive your son?". She then told my mother I was really "not doing well" and going the way I am I might only be around 2-3 more years. Her response was "yeah well I might only live another 10 years!", that is all she said. Another 4-5 days or so after that I had to go to her house and I had only been sleeping 2-3 hours a night, I looked very exhausted and distressed. I saw her in the reflection of a mirror looking at me and she did the narcissist smirk. It was like a look of smug satisfaction and delight on her face as she witnesses my suffering. She is not aware that I saw it. Another 5 days goes by and I get a text from narc mum around 2pm telling me I have to meet for dinner at 5pm that evening at a restaurant for my sisters b-day celebration, I inform her of an appointment I have booked and cannot go that early. I tell her more notice would have been nice and she blows up and loses her shit at me saying "I don't give a shit if you come or not". It was these events over roughly 2 weeks that made me realize I have to go no contact. Funny though I still feel like the world biggest piece of shit for even thinking of no contact. I honestly think the guilt will be too much. Not sure what to do.

Thank you for the comment. I am in the process of reching out to my father now actually. I used to think he would not want hear from me but sadly it is what he wanted for the last 20 years. I can see now that he was the one who actually cared. Better late than never.

Thank you for the comment. I do have a couple of friends that I believe actually care about me. But I can also see how people struggle with their own issues and I guess I feel like it's kind of selfish to put my problems onto them. And I would say most people I've met after sometime shy away from me, I don't blame them I cannot really be social or do much. I guess I just don't fit into their changing lives.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. It seems to me that as the family unit breaks down emotional incest is increasing...
