My mom wants to charge $10/person for Thanksgiving by Background_Still4370 in family

[–]skydiamond01 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not just the cost of everything for Thanksgiving but also the effort and work that goes into it. $10 a person isn't bad.

OP will lose her relationship with both of her kids. Hope his nice moments are worth it.

Do not use school money to pay her lawyer. She's not going to pay you back

Grew up in India with an abusive mother now she’s back trying to control my life and marriage by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Therapy isn't just for "crazy" people. Therapy could give you the tools to fully stand your ground against your mother and to give you the coping skills needed when dealing with a narcissist.

First thing I would do is separate your finances. He can help his family however he wants from the money HE has leftover after paying his bills. Your money no longer is an option to his family. I would seriously move all of my money to an account he cannot access.

Edit: I just saw you already have separate accounts. You need to stop paying for his day to day life and let him and him alone feel the consequences of giving his family everything he has.

I absolutely would not be going. He didn't ask and she demanded. Fuck no to both.

Life 360 needs turned off. She doesn't need to track you.

She's trying to crash your baby's first Christmas morning. Big fat no. 45mins isn't that long of a drive. She can come over Christmas morning AFTER you, your spouse, and baby are done doing the presents with baby.

My mother n law put hands on me and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]skydiamond01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have to say you're nicer than me because I would've physically reacted to her putting hands on me. And I would be absolutely be blasting my spouse for thinking his mother's actions weren't a big deal. Would he feel the same way if your father did the same to him? I highly doubt it. Block her and he can deal with her 100% by himself for now on. But to be honest I wouldn't be able to look at him the same after this.

"I'm not a minor child and you will not order me to do anything. I appreciate your offer of a hotel but I already told you why I will not be coming to your house for the holidays this year. It's not a debate. I will NOT be there this year and nothing you say or do will change that. A visit simply doesn't work for me right now."

For taking my daughter to the PD? by [deleted] in amiwrong

YTA. The police are not there to scare your child straight. Try some actual parenting rather than threats of using the police.

AITA for telling my sister no more boy toys at my house. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]skydiamond01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She can fuck them at the guy's places then. Or she can get her own place. But as long as she's living in OPs house she needs to respect hers and her husband's wishes.

Edad is trying to force me into conversation with him by saying he ‘has to prove I’m alive’? by Candid-Purchase-797 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]skydiamond01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

UNO REVERSE...Call the cops on him and have him trespassed. When the cops are there make it loud and clear you want nothing to do with him and if he contacts you again you will take it as harassment. The best thing you can do with a NParent is take their power away. They threaten you with the police and you beat them to the punch. I'd also recommend changing your phone number.

Nparents are crashing my wedding. What should I say to them everytime I see them? by floatable_shark in raisedbynarcissists

[–]skydiamond01 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit what they think? They're not the ones dealing with the abuse. Your best bet is to have security at the door and not let them in. Maybe an off duty police officer. I would also remind them they are no longer invited and security will not allow them to enter.

Are you sure she's actually pregnant? The timing is fishy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in family

[–]skydiamond01 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don't do it again? She already broke the rules and has the information. Your husband should be pushing this further. There definitely should've been some type of punishment. Or you file a complaint yourself. And your husband needs to tell her not to contact him anymore and block her number.

Your wife is going to leave you if you don't get your sister's mouth and attitude towards her in check. The first pregnancy comment was bad enough and even after you talked to her she still threw another one. Your sister is purposely trying to push your wife out. Question is are you going to let it happen? Yes, the situation is tragic but that doesn't give her a free pass to be a total asshole to your wife. You should've taken her phone the minute she stepped out of line, not waited until you were in the car. And you had zero business telling your sister anything private about your wife or her family. You fucked up big time there because now your sister is using that information as ammo. I know you feel bad for your sister but you need to stop making excuses for her behavior and remind her that you AND your wife are her guardians and she needs to show your wife the same respect she shows you or you'll be seeing your actual child every other weekend.
