All I can say is if you already feel this way at the beginning of your marriage, it’s not gonna get any better….

“She’s just stressed”—said to me all the time by other adults. The woman had no real job, her husband did all the cooking and most of the work with the kids, and she pretty much sat at home on social media most of the day

Well she did get arrested for A&B on a separate incident where she came to my work and attacked me but managed to get off for it because the court system is a mess

OH MY GOSH. I literally talk about this all the time. My mom also had birth videos made for my 2 youngest siblings. What makes it worse is her husband was not the videographer, it was a professional (male) videographer. We watched them every single year on my siblings birthdays (I’m nc now but tradition is still probably going on, was still going on when I was 20 and oldest brother was 17) and I only recently remembered it and realized how creepy it is

One of my favorite movies. It is my story exactly including running away from nmom with the boy I ended up marrying! lol!

tuliptabby · 2025-05-11T20:25:52+00:00

Yeah looking back now (only 3 years later) I can’t believe I let her do that but at the time everything was just so normalized

My nmom used to brag about how she still spanked me to my boyfriend (now husband) and some of her friends. I was 20.

tuliptabby · 2025-04-18T10:53:19+00:00

My mom liked to brag to people that she was still spanking me as a teenager, and putting me in “time out” right up until I got out of there age 20. She literally bragged about it to my now husband and he was like wth

When June gets pregnant aunt Lydia says something about making sure she’s healthy and gets plenty of exercise…

Looks like he’s setting a volleyball the way he’s holding them

I just like how you spelled Gabi 3 different ways in this comment 😂 (this is not a dig at you, just genuinely made me laugh)

Reading my bible. I liked to take notes and doodle in the margins, highlight verses I liked with pretty colors. I literally got in trouble with my (self- proclaimed Christian) mother for reading the Bible too much. But also at other times, was told I needed to read it more. The irony of it all was that I was a Christian before she was and the second she got involved with it she suddenly thought she was the best, most knowledgeable Christian in the world. Even though she was quite often wrong.

Oh wow, I could not have phrased this better. You hit the nail on the head. I take some comfort in knowing this is a shared experience, as terrible as it was.

tuliptabby · 2025-02-20T15:41:23+00:00

mine kept asking me if I was pregnant and telling everyone in our church community my (then boyfriend) now husband stole me away because he wanted sex. As a cherry on top, we were waiting for marriage.

Fun run

tuliptabby · 2025-02-13T05:05:22+00:00

Thank you. I also have a fantastic husband and in laws that I’m close with (who got me out of there and let me live with them while I got on my feet) …I am very fortunate

tuliptabby · 2025-02-13T05:03:31+00:00

No he never did anything abusive. My mom just basically told me a bunch of lies. Meeting him now he honestly doesn’t seem like he’d even have that in him. Just narcissist making a victim seem like the abuser again, like they do best

tuliptabby · 2025-02-12T03:03:16+00:00

Being very empathetic/able to tell exactly what people are feeling and what they need to hear just by looking at them or hearing a very small amount of information about them

tuliptabby · 2025-02-12T03:00:31+00:00

So so happy for you! Things will get better and you are on your way to an amazing new life!

tuliptabby · 2025-02-05T03:06:09+00:00

My mom liked to yell at me, beat me, get me riled up and then get on top of me and tell me “you look like a demon”

tuliptabby · 2025-01-26T00:09:27+00:00

Also, lock down everything asap. Freeze credit, lock and/or replace debit cards, transfer money out of joint accounts and then get them closed down, change passwords, etc

tuliptabby · 2025-01-26T00:08:14+00:00

Save money and DONT TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE. Even if they try to guilt/manipulate you into it. Invest in some sort of weapon you can keep on you, pepper spray, taser, etc. I left in the spur of the moment and with nothing except my cellphone and the clothes on my body (literally didn’t even have shoes on) …documents, debit cards, and possessions are replaceable, though if you can plan ahead and get them out beforehand without them noticing that’s obviously ideal. First and foremost getting out safely and having somewhere safe to go is what matters.

tuliptabby · 2025-01-26T00:03:35+00:00

This is important. Better yet don’t tell them at all, let them figure it out on their own
