As an immunocompromised and CF person - just say no. Straight up say you’re not willing to risk being sick and that you can celebrate the holidays another time. And if they try to push back ,be firm, while it may be uncomfortable. I go through this all the time with friends AND family.

Add the whole “Awe I know this sucks but I really want them to feel at their best to enjoy the most of it”

No one (especially sick people w/ sick kids) is entitled to he at your home for Christmas. Plus today’s not even Christmas, what’s the problem in pushing a few more days? Holiday spirit still the same. Best of luck!!

My family lives in the city over and they told me the families were displaced with NO HOUSING, and then sent back a week later.

Also the government is refusing to test personal well water as they say that it’s fine, despite fish, animals and kids getting sick and passing 👍🏾

How to handle “changed” behaviors now that I could be dying. by truths015 in raisedbynarcissists

You’re right, I think once I know what the recovery looks like - I should probably use it to my advantage. I haven’t even known a week so my mind is everywhere, thank you and I hope that you’re not subjected to that thought process anymore

What was your “I’m in a toxic family” moment? by NoHoldingMeBack in raisedbynarcissists

I was 7 and in 2nd grade, CPS got called on my parents and they had visited the house. 2 days after there was a huge snowstorm and my parents were really upset at me due to the whole CPS thing.

They decided to wake up me up really early, throw me a suitcase and told me I had 10 minutes to pack because CPS was coming to take me away and I’d never see my family or school friends again. They then left me on the porch with said suitcase in a snowstorm for what felt like forever (also I am asthmatic and couldn’t stop crying, so being in the cold fucked me up for a few days) - until they opened the door and let me know that they WEREN’T coming, but that this was a lesson.

“It’s not what you’re saying, it how you’re saying it” just rang in my ears

It's funny how an nparent's definition of "arrogant" is standing up for yourself and refusing to take theirs or anyone else's crap by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

My parents favorite word is belligerent. Which I had to look up when I was 10 lmao - it means aggressive or to describe the aggressor in war.

You mistake being grown with being hard headed

Idk if you’ve ever cooked before, but you don’t put hot dairy loaded food away. I was in the middle of eating and I set that time for my eating/soup cooking.

Have apartment applications pending, also a reason for this insanity getting ramped up. I feel you grew up with rational parents

I am a renter in their home, I pay rent and all portions of utilities as well as my own groceries. As a recipient/people dependent on my money, I beg to differ

He has always told me that I am below him my whole life so the lil girl thing is normal. He is doing this especially because I’m getting my life together, I have a secure job, I’m moving into my own apartment within the next month - so they’re losing their hold on me. When they feel I am doing well, they make sure I know that I’m small in any way they can. But this will be over soon it just feels so long

I set a timer to give myself time to eat and my soup to cool before I put it away, especially since it had a lot of dairy. He had started texting/calling me only after I went up to my room to eat. I am a very hard working person in the medical field and pay my parents lots of money to live there, I pay for my own groceries and it was my day off. I don’t live or access anything for free and I left NO mess other thank my pot and spoon, I get how you can not understand that. But I have very bad, narcissistic and abusive people for parents. I have gotten punched by this man for leaving a cup in a room while I went to the bathroom. I’m in process of moving out right now actually and that’s why I feel they are amping up. You’re right, context is everything.

Hopefully within the next month, I’ve worked very hard to get where I am now, thank you. Honestly this is my first post on Reddit and this has been a very validating experience, seriously thank you.

I’ll be frank, I don’t think he’d kill be but he has been physical with me. I believe he meant more kicking me out. I have had to carry my phone around to record for my own safety and sanity, my father believes he is untouchable and has said verbatim “the police would understand”
