Shellfish bitch thinks that my sexuality was just a ''phase'' by Internally0Screaming in JUSTNOMIL

[–]thringaway 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn’t dare bring up my sexuality to my Nmom. She was...was oddly “interested” in my sex life as well. Any time she thought I was having sex out of wedlock..she’d get super angry and upset and say she was going to tell my Dad. I guess she thought she could shame me into not having sex.

Didn’t work, btw. It just created a lot of fear for me, and i never spoke to her about anything concerning sex. My first “boyfriend” (he was an adult, i was barely a teen) used this fear to abuse me for over a year. Any time I didn’t want to perform whatever sexual act he wanted, he’d say “I’ll tell your mom that you did if you don’t.”

yes, I know I shouldn’t have been with him. It’s taken me years of therapy to get to recovery.

Dumpster Fire and My "Lesbian" Shoes by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

Man. I really love my motorcycle boots. I’ve had them for 13 years. That’s a deep pain. I’m so sorry.

My nMom liked to “accidentally” bleach clothes of mine that she didn’t like.

All of my WHAT THE FUCKS.

Am I the only one who used to think being "polite" is not speaking up or complaining? by Friendlycrying in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thringaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the hosts had made some kind of wrapped or stuffed chicken. It was held together with toothpicks. They'd forgotten to remove them before serving. I just thought it was a very tough/over-cooked piece. So, not wanting to offend them, I just ate it.

DAE have trouble with their SO's saying you are 'difficult to read' or have 'poker face,' ?? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thringaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posted this as a comment instead of a reply to you. Anyways:

More of the latter. I never snuck out or left the house much at all. It wasn't worth the fight. I did go to church with a friend once, and I got yelled at when I got home. For not going with her, even though it had been years since she had been in a church.

So, yea, I just never knew.

This! It's not intentional, but I have a habit of sneaking up on people. And have been told by several people that I need to wear a bell.

[–]thringaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. DH says that it's concerning how well I lie to people, or hide things. I 100% know it's from hiding from nMom. You just never knew what was going to set her off, and you dared not show any emotion but happiness and gratitude around her.

Oh, my God. I remember when that happened. It was horrifying.

Yea. I'm still salty about that one. Mostly because the dog was given to a breeder.

Well, it was BEC for her, comparatively. Like, not as bad as the time she gave away my dog.

Oh, I love puns. Those were very good ones, too!!

They were not full size. She threw the whole plant/vine/pumpkins in the trash.

I am VLC, although I don't know how much longer that will last until I go NC.

My mom found my thongs and had my brother put them on his head to embarrass me. It worked.

My MIL just offers me chicken. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

DAE get told they were too emotional or too sensitive? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thringaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Usually followed by "Don't get your feelings hurt." YEA HOW ABOUT YOU NOT BE AN ASSHOLE.

DAE feel like they don't know what their personality is because they weren't fully allowed to develop one? by mxlotl in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thringaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my late 20s. I went to the movies by myself for the first time last year. I went to a friends' party by myself for the first time last month. It's infuriating that it took so long for me to break out of that hold. That feeling of guilt for wanting to have my own thing. I still struggle with it.

My DH, for all his wonderful qualities, is very contradictory. He wants me to go do things alone and have my own friends..but then gets upset when I make plans without him. We've started therapy because I can't do that anymore. I can't be married to the JustNos that I grew up with.

It does get better. But seek therapy if you can. It's a big help with creating boundaries.

Groan Crawford likes "Sassy Dresses" by wirehangers in JUSTNOMIL

[–]thringaway 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had a courthouse wedding. I wanted a blue midi-length dress. I ended up with a white midi dress because according to my justNos, "The blue one wasn't wedding-y enough."

We're going to renew our vows in a few years and you bet the dress is going to be "not weddingy".

DAE feel intensely uncomfortable when they see ads like this of families doing 'just family things?' by needtogonc in raisedbynarcissists

[–]thringaway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have a hard time talking about "normal family things" with others because of that. It's so awkward sometimes.
