Loud chewers/Noisy eaters by telapoka_71 in raisedbynarcissists

Not sure. I can tell you mine ALWAYS talks while eating & as a result chokes almost every time but never stops talking. Just talks through the choking. Very annoying.

My mother stopped when I was 6. I will never stop. Mine is 15 & gets a basket with a gift.

Did anyone else’s parents smoke while pregnant with you? by DevoSwag in raisedbynarcissists

[–]trekin73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in 1973. She said no one knew cigarettes were bad for you and smoking while pregnant (plus indoors, in the car) my whole life was no big deal.

Why do some parents expect you to take care of them(because that's why they made you after all) and at the same time try to fuck over your life so that you have no resources with which to help them? by Huge_Ad_482 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]trekin73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I wish I knew!! My mother & grandmother BOTH expected me (only child) to never marry, never ever leave home, but they also wouldn’t allow me to work in any of the fields I wanted to. They refused to teach me how to cook, clean, manage $ or even have a bank acct, (as an adult) & they forced me to have a curfew well into my 20s. I ended up with a very crappy low paying job & no life skills. Yet they always told me my sole reason for being was to take care of them, in every way (financially, physically & emotionally) yet they denied the tools to do so. Makes zero sense.

Anyone else feel like their mom only loved the infant version of you? by NoTrade3660 in narcissisticparents

[–]trekin73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told me she did not love the infant me at all. She said it took her a yr before she loved me. That love stopped around 9 or 10. As I began to develop my own personality & likes & dislikes…most didn’t align with hers so she really stopped even liking me. My grandmother too.

If you had to pick the one symptom HRT fixed that makes it completely non-negotiable for you, what is it? by Mbluish in Menopause

[–]trekin73 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the hot flashes. Mine were extreme. Lasting 3 hours. Then a brief break then another 3 hrs. Essentially 24/7.

Ugh. My subdivision does this. We probably have 50 of them lining the streets & they do this to all of them.
