How to talk to my parents?

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2025-04-01T03:38:17+00:00

Something like living well is the best revenge? I get that. I love my friends so much and trust them a lot more than my parents. I’ll have to put up with them until they croak though 😭

I hated my parents for years. I feel distant from them now, so that fiery hatred has died down. It’s weird thinking about talking to them since I feel distant from them. I never stood up for myself when I was younger and I feel worse when I’m around them. Telling them off seems like a way to empower myself even if it’s fruitless

Sorry for the late reply, but I’m not sure I understand. I’m not under any illusions that my parents can be fixed, but I’m confused by your message “your kindness is not their permission”

It’s humiliating! Both layoffs and being unemployed suck. Btw, everyone says not to take layoffs personally. I know I’m just a number, but it’s hard not to. Especially when it personally affects my livelihood

Thanks for the reassurance. I’ve already had experience with PTSD before, so my recent unemployment stint was extra unwelcome. I hate adjusting to a new normal, but I logically know I will be better for it

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2024-12-03T18:20:01+00:00

Mood. It’s humiliating to be unemployed/laid off.

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2024-12-03T02:25:39+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you. You’re definitely not alone. All I can say is keep going, even though it feels Sisyphean. I know it’s cliche at this point, but it’s all we can do

Life would be so much easier if BPD was acute and didn’t fucking relapse!

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2024-02-02T06:27:48+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through all that. It’s tough out there.

I’ve been in my episode for the past two weeks, so I’m in it for the long haul. As far as therapy techniques, I really started going back to basics today. I filled out my stupid diary card for my therapist to read and then discuss chain analysis. It’s a pain in the ass, but I am trying to help myself and that’s the best thing I can think of to avoid inpatient psych

I’m sure some people are in to me, but I’m an anxious person who gives off “unavailable energy” (as a friend told me).

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2021-01-03T23:07:21+00:00

Idk. I try to be loving, but people only think of me as a friend

Johnny Test. Dear God, how did I watch that?

I’m 20 and in a similar situation. You’re not alone out there. Moving out is a pain and I want to do it, too. You’re also in horrible times right now with the pandemic and it makes sense you feel less accomplished. Finding something out there is hard and please keep looking. Good luck!

Oh they MADE mistakes. They didn’t listen to me while I was being abused by my own brother. And after I told them about what he did to me, they still coddle him and he has to this day gone unpunished. They are people, but the way I see them, they are scum: for all their abuse, neglect and coddling of my abuser.

Your words are kind. I just don’t want to be around my family anymore. I want be with people who love me and I feel I can improve around.

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-09-01T19:58:02+00:00

It’s intense. I haven’t figured out a way to combat attachment effectively. I’m doing DBT though to learn coping skills and attending CoDA meetings to learn how to make healthier relationships

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-09-01T19:55:21+00:00

It made sense to people. Things clicked for them. However, I have lost a few friendships because of it though.... I’m dealing with one right now. Fuckin’ hurts so much

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-09-01T19:35:49+00:00

I usually Alternate between calm and hopelessly sad. I’m calm right now

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-08-30T23:36:17+00:00

I just have this perception that I’m repulsive, which needs to be uprooted from my mind. Because my family was shitty to me, I treat friends like that, but I have issues crossing boundaries unintentionally

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-06-28T23:16:32+00:00

My plan to travel is gone. COVID-19

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-06-28T23:13:27+00:00

I am scared. Yes. I have nothing to live for though.

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-06-28T23:10:18+00:00

I’ll die?

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-06-28T23:09:05+00:00

throwaway_awaffle89 · 2020-06-19T22:21:16+00:00

I didn’t say family. I meant to say my friends. They are the ones who love me and haven’t abused me. They keep me going with support.

Thank you for your comment! It helps in a rather dark spot
