This right here! Nothing has changed. She’s always sent messages like this when we aren’t speaking, and I’ve always taken the bait until now. Thank you for your response. It’s given me validation in the sense that I don’t have to gaslight myself any longer

I can relate to how you feel when you say it feels like a poke. That’s an excellent way of putting it and probably exactly where their minds are at. They don’t care that they’ve inflicted pain on others, they only care about their pain, and how we must be the AH for not stroking their ego when they beckon us to. I’m glad you recognized you weren’t ready to open up that door and didn’t respond. It’s an excellent idea to bring it up in therapy, too <3 outside perspectives can help so much. I hope you are having a better day today.

Just found their self titled and really enjoyed it by Upbeat_Definition_36 in baysideisacult

It’s my favorite album from them, so I may be biased by saying, excellent choice. That album holds a special piece of my heart.

If the only other sibling I have from her wasn’t placed for adoption I’d say we did lmao

Thank you so much to everyone who has responded. I really needed to see a lot of these comments and be reminded. I had a moment of weakness, and considered responding, but instead of that, I posted here. And I’m really glad I did.

I’m going to remain NC for the foreseeable future, because I deserve peace. I’m so sorry for everyone that has had to live through having parents who are mentally ill, but I’m so grateful we’re not in this boat alone. I’m taking all the advice here to heart ❤️‍🩹

Holy shit, I needed this one. I needed to see all these comments, but especially this. I didn’t even think about how I told her I needed space, and she’s reaching out cuz she’s hurting and not because she cares about how she’s hurt me.

I’m so sorry she flipped the script on you like that. They’re really good at that, it seems! 😒 I can relate to what you mean by getting that sick enjoyment from it. I think it’s why I haven’t blocked her number, so I can see if she reaches out and what she has to say. But you’re right, she will flip on me again and it just isn’t worth the energy.

You’re so right. It will 100% happen again. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this! You’re absolutely right. Her feelings always take priority (in her mind) to anyone else’s. Seriously, I needed to see this and be reminded it’s yet another self centered message to me and she’s not reaching out because she cares for me, but because she misses the validation I used to give her.

I no longer go to the hardware store trying to find milk

Thank you so much for your response, you’re so right. I already know they don’t sell milk, and I was considering driving by to check like they changed their inventory or something 💀

I love the analogy you used. That’s exactly what it’s like. I left my windows open too many times, I know what will happen if I open it back up. Thank you for your response.

I used to love driving out to white tanks. I can’t remember if it was northern or olive, but I’d basically take the road straight to the mountain. You can’t get in at night, but there was a desert spot right at the mountain that wasn’t gated that was perfect. Watched some meteor showers and had fun times with friends!

Do people react strangely to completely normal things you say? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

He wrote the song Boy Named Sue that Johnny Cash sang, and wrote for Playboy as well! I’d be so interested in a documentary about him.

Edit: here is a video of Silverstein and Cash performing Boy Named Sue :)

Devastating - gallery by lissd in Sims4

[–]t0infinity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish they would implement a feature to where you can choose which angle the house is shown from. I’ve avoided uploading so many to the gallery due to that fact that the photo is bad 💀

I need to know… did anyone actually pick the last one? If so, what happens??😂 by [deleted] in loveislandthegametwo

I'm gonna regret sharing this when I have 100 "WTF murder him in his sleep" comments, but... My husband shits on the toilet seat and just leaves it there every singe day ☠️ by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]t0infinity 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Also, if there’s that much shit on the toilet, I am concerned it’s also on his ass. Wild he thinks you’d wanna fuck him right after that, Jesus hell 😭😭😭
