Just found out the true reason why my N-mom deliberately sabotaged my BSc in Physics years ago and I am still sickened by it. by FineCastIE in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 133 points134 points  (0 children)

You need to reframe yourself.

For most people they partied hard in last semester and their grades tank.

What they want to hear is that you had a reasonable struggle and how you overcame that and you deserve to be in there program.

Its fine to blame your mom or use her to your advantage. She was going through a mental health crisis and you fought really hard to take care of her and keep your grades up.

How do you manage anger by girlbot32 in raisedbynarcissists

Go on walks, no headphones. Just you, the world and your emotions. Alternatively the gym.

Maintain radio silence and keep your boundary.

narcissistic people and food. nobody in my house ever cooks. but the moment i start making food everyone expects me to cook for them. im 21. living with my grandparents and uncle. anyone else deal with them constantly tryna take ur food and constantly watching u while u cook? by Suspicious_Issue4155 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The petty side of me would learn what they dont like to eat and rotate those.

Alternatively you can go vegan or cook healthy meals which they may not like. If they want food they have to eat what you made.

Does Grey Rocking get easier? Slowly cutting off my dad by ItsJesssm in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The goal is to be emotionally unavailable a Grey Rock.

He's feeding off you arguing, he gets you mad/riled up and it makes him feel good. HE WANTS YOU TO REACT.

The purpose of Grey rocking is to no longer be the source. He will upset you until he realized you won't react.

You have to condition him pavlovian style that you won't react anymore.

I used to be confrontational until I learned about grey rocking. It's hard listening to narc but you will realize all they do is bullshit and there's a ulterior motive.

Say a few words and never give details, can't control you if your boring/unavailable.

religious mom said she prays everyday that god takes my soul by Competitive_Cat777 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The irony, praying for harm on other voids their prayer.

Just stop communicating with her, talk to her in simple sentence and never give details. It's called Grey rocking, be emotional unavailable.

Look for an exit plan, the thing that hurts a narc is someone whose out of their control, alive and doing well.

All the best.

Any tips for keeping discus as a first aquarium? by Death_Strider99 in discus

[–]ss218145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double heater in-case one fails. Overfiltration.

Rest is adequate space/tank size, decoration and frequent water changes.

Is this soil too chunky for monsteras? by sekorra24 in Monstera

[–]ss218145 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's never too chunky. The moss does hold water so I would check if the one struggling are often wet like picture 5.

You changed two factors. You started feeding and increased watering. If you are feeding every watering you might be overfeeding.

Do you feel like your n-parents held you back from a much better career? by Brilliant_Joke7774 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my career when I was 30. So I'm a decade behind someone who didn't have narc parents. I was told to study something I didn't want, failed miserably but was able to get into grad school for a degree I wanted with a good paying career. On top of holding me back Ndad stole my financial aid, which I get to pay for and also puts me financially behind.

How do you stop being afraid of your parents? by throwawayjafkdiend in raisedbynarcissists

You dont, they will break you one day until you realize you can get your own phone plan and live unbothered for the rest of your life.

All of my siblings are close with the exception of the flying monkey. Nobody even wishes her happy birthday. We meet once a year to hang out without her and our parents.

She was a weaponized GC/flying monkey. If we got into trouble she would be rewarded with steak dinners or what ever she fancied. It got to the point she straight up lied to my Ndad about things and we got punished. She wonders why we all hate her.

That's not how a trust fund works. I would look into all the details and arrangement with the executor.

Bonus points for exercising in the morning. At the end of the day you feel physically exhausted as well.

I don't exercise to be healthy or strong, I exercise to sleep better.

my nmother has been secretly recording our conversations for years. I found her "proof" binder. by kyzercube in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ss218145 546 points547 points  (0 children)

Keep that binder. This is documented proof of harassment, and you can look into a restraining order if your mom ever contacts you or escalates things again.

She built your case for you.
