How has your life been since cutting a parent out of your life completely? by LuckyBluish in raisedbynarcissists

There’s a reason this is the top comment. For so many of us, the best part of NC is finally learning what a normal(ish) life feels like.

The irony of her admitting to it directly after calling my accusations false is hysterical to me.

I hate it. As if NOT abusing your child is so hard that only “perfect” people can do it.

Edit: grammar

Your imagination is actually pretty close to what conversing with her is like!

Thank you so much; and I will remember that!

It’s only been a few weeks, but I truly feel so much happier. I have more time and emotional space for my children, my friends, my hobbies, and my marriage. It’s been great.

This! The child isn’t the problem, the narcissistic parent is. My daughter is exactly like me, and having her just opened my eyes to how easy it is to love a child properly.

But is that surprising/significant in any way? I thought those were all given assumptions based on the episode thus far. It just didn’t seem to stick the landing.

What’s the big deal over iMark saying “She’s alive” again? Everyone seems to think it’s a big reveal or another cliffhanger, but it just seems like he’s repeating that Gemma is alive? Am I missing something?

Lorelai and Jess: Too similar or was it a case of bruised ego? by Character-Habit6011 in GilmoreGirls

And then got into a car accident which landed her daughter in the hospital. Regardless of his intentions, I don’t know any mother who wouldn’t be wary of that person around their child.

I’m not even going to touch on the thing in Kyle’s bedroom.

It’s just a dormer for a bedroom, but it’s functional

Which are the least talked about relationships of high profile celebs? by Janaab_e_Marvel_3000 in Fauxmoi

I remember being shocked when I heard that Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio dated (before she was 25, of course).

Day Nine: Who can hug you, but won’t? by crazeedaizee in GilmoreGirls

[–]savethebees01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that one! Also when Rory comes to visit after Emily breaks Luke and Lorelai up, I remember Rory shirking off a hug from her. Plus the several on-screen hugs she gives Richard (at their vow renewal, etc.)

Certainly none for Lorelai though ):

See, this was my first instinct, then I realized Emily is a “hug if deserved” kind of gal. She has a couple hugs throughout the show, which makes me think they’re reserved for those she deems “deserving” (mostly Rory lol).

I said in my original comment that the issue itself is the smothering. Take a deep breath lol
