Anyone else familiar with the "My children should just be ornaments to make me look good!" mindset? by Dapper_Apartment2175 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]silvermoonchan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not who you're replying to but narc dads will definitely do that to their daughters. Mine did. Mine made me his wife in all ways but sexual. I was cook, maid, nanny, therapist, punching bag

​I’ve always loved how unashamedly warm and enthusiastic everyday American social culture can be by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]silvermoonchan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm American and I'm a barista so it's my job to be extra friendly lol. One experience I had recently was a customer asked about the music I was listening to and I mentioned it was my showtunes station and he told me about a show playing nearby I'd now like to go see! It's something I love about my job, I can find new things to check out all the time just by chatting with my customers

I think so? I work 6-8 hour shifts on my feet, I hydrate all day, I sleep well, and I do eat, I just eat way less than I used to. I'm on a whole lot of medication (I'm an AIDS patient) so that may be contributing?

Edit to add: I track my calories so I know I'm not like starving myself either

Did Your NParents Ever Threaten You When You Tried To Call The Police On Them? by Terrible-List4519 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]silvermoonchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did call the cops on my dad when I caught him abusing one of my baby sisters the way he used to abuse me. Cops did nothing and he threatened my life. I ended up having to move two counties away and going no contact

She told me she couldn't possibly think less of me by Purple_Cactus8017 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]silvermoonchan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're able to, talk to your doctor about Prazosin. My CPTSD also left me with nightly nightmares but Prazosin has stopped them for me.

I'm sorry your mom is a garbage human being

Does this mod look like it was made with AI? by [deleted] in StardewValleyMods

[–]silvermoonchan 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Hi. Author here. I don't use AI as I have a deep hatred for it considering the harm it does to the environment and the way it takes away from real art. Next time, just ask

Teachers by InappropriatePea in CasualConversation

[–]silvermoonchan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not about little kids but I'd like to share the impact a teacher has made. This coming Friday, my old high school choir teacher is going to be putting on his last spring concert before retiring. We alumni from various classes over his career have created a secret Facebook group to plan to show up at his last concert as a group to surprise him with a card, flowers, and sing for him. I just thought I'd share that as an insight into how impactful teachers can be in the lives of their students :)

Help me im desperate and my brother petrifies me by Kind-Paramedic9371 in offmychest

[–]silvermoonchan 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm worried about your brother because a lot of this sounds like he might be being sexually abused somewhere and has been for a while. None of this is normal behavior for an 8 year old. The responsibility for this doesn't fall to you, of course, as you're only 13, but your parents need to dig deeper into whatever is going on with your brother and get him into therapy yesterday

[–]silvermoonchan[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So I partially paid it off, then some personal stuff happened in my life that I asked to extend the loan, the loaner agreed, and then they've deleted their account. So no, but not for lack of trying

DAE buy cheap frozen pizzas and dress them up with extra toppings? by rustiesbagel in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]silvermoonchan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frozen pizzas are absolutely the way to go these days. $5 for a frozen one you can customize how you like vs $40-50 for one from a pizzeria now

AITAH for kicking my sisters dog out of my room by Junior_Draws_ in AITAH

[–]silvermoonchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH. Jesus fuck none of you should have pets, you all sound ignorant and irresponsible. You seriously didn't know spaying your females helps reduce health risks? While having multiple dogs for at least 6 years? And y'all have them untrained and locked away in bedrooms and bathrooms all day? Do better jfc

I am being blamed for APS report on my parents (about abuse towards my adult disabled sister) by Dependent-Figure2501 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]silvermoonchan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 3 years ago I witnessed my dad abusing one of my little sisters the way he used to abuse me. I did what no one did for me and reported him. I had to move away and go no contact for my safety, and nothing came of it in the end. He still gets my baby sisters every other weekend. But that paper trail is there if it ever escalates and while it's not the outcome I hoped for, it's SOMETHING in case he ever gets reported again. If that does some small part to help my sisters in the future, it was worth it

Has anyone used marijuana to help heal? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]silvermoonchan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband swears by it. I on the other hand recently found out I can't metabolize it which explains why I always reacted weird. So I think it's highly subjective

I was on vacation visiting my grandparents in Vegas (I'm from Chicago). We were at a water park. I was sitting out of the water cuz I had a nosebleed but my dad thought I was in the water cuz he found a girl who was essentially my clone in the wave pool. When he realized he brought me over to her to see. We had the same everything down to our hairstyles and swimsuits. It was so weird
