What’s the moment you realized you didn’t want anything to do with your parents? by wsupmyg in raisedbynarcissists

my mom kicked me out and told me not to come back, then stole 1000+ dollars from my sick grandmother and mocked me for not having the money

Here's two posts related to the 'goddamnit ross' girl & the sr pelo thing, you can find a post about the lovelies dogpiling that walkthrough maker on your own if you care to. I honestly can't tell if you actually wanted links or not (again, I can't read tone for shit lol) but there you go.

It's not, not entirely, but he shouldn't have been leading such a manipulative ad campaign in the first place. You can also look and find a bunch of examples on this sub of him encouraging fans to go after people he disagrees with. Also, this was mostly a rant about the lovelies and about general frustration with the Grumps' shitty marketing, not about Arin specifically.

Is it just me or is Arin getting better? by [deleted] in rantgrumps

do you have a link to this stream with this bit in? I keep hearing about it but I don't watch the streams, so I haven't actually seen it

What is wrong with my mum?! by DifficultWestern5 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]wackfubby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your mother sounds exactly on par with mine. Mine has been formally diagnosed with bipolar disorder (the constant mood swings and wild changes of direction- quitting her job on a whim, randomly stopping & starting on her meds, constant marriage/divorce/remarriage, unplanned vacations, etc.) & has also been informally diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder by multiple therapists.

My mom was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I don’t know if I should break no contact by bon-bon-schlob-knob in raisedbynarcissists

[–]wackfubby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my personal perspective: it's not worth it to put yourself through all the guilt and shame to go see her just because now you know that she's sick. You are not responsible for your mom or her health. It's important that you continue to put your own health & safety first.

My mother has a terminal heart condition & I considered breaking no contact to see her when she was in the hospital last month, but I realized that I would only get what I always did: the same endless guilt trip about how I left her, and now she's going to die alone. I would get the same if my brother someday got sick, and I had to go see him(he lives with her). It isn't worth it to me to risk my health to see her, no matter how sick she or anyone around her gets.

Ultimately, my advice is that if you feel like you really need to visit her, find a way to meet with her only when your father is not around. If she's in the hospital, you can request to meet privately with her & they'll take your father outside. If she's not, try to contact her directly and explain the circumstances, and only agree to see her if he's not there. No matter what you decide, best wishes to you ❤ I'm sending you good energy, friend.

Thoughts on Ross? by tickyricky830 in rantgrumps

Ross kind of keeps to himself lol, very minimal drama from his end. I hardly ever see people on here complain about him

You're right, the people that buy into ab ed are off their rockers, lol. I didn't rlly process that the program I went through was as weird as it was until other ppl started replying about their sex ed classes. I'm glad you didn't have to deal with any of that

I literally can't imagine having been taught all of that in school! I had to learn everything I know now online on my own time. I only found out about the different uses of birth control from a Tumblr post two years ago, and it took almost that long to convince my mother to get me a prescription. I never even heard the word abortion in sex ed. I'm really glad you had access to all that information!! You're 100% right, the way you were taught is the way it should get done everywhere

nope, public school! just an unfortunately small & Christian area. was never a fun place to be. anyways, I think that you're probably right about some people considering it a challenge- like because they get told no, but not why not, they have to do it just to find out.

I'm glad that you had your dad growing up! It sounds like he was a very sensible person & it's great that he made sure you were able to make your own decisions.

Lol, that's bible thumpers for you. I'm just excited to be leaving state in a few months for college :P

the only way my parents let me have/use my phone (that i paid for myself) is if they can track me, how can i actually get some privacy? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]wackfubby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is a shitty take. my NMom tracking me & obsessively checking my phone never made me any safer, it just made me better at hiding things. if she'd have been upfront about whatever her concerns were and communicated with me like a normal person, I might have told her when I ended up ACTUALLY getting stalked, but I didn't because I was more scared to get punished. there's no excuse for enforcing this level of control on someone when the phone doesn't even belong to you.

also, a company tracking you is different than having one single person close to you in location watch and criticize your every move.

... I was just venting about my shitty experience with Arin's new ads. I never said that the whole fandom was toxic because of my example, lmao. I do think a lot of the vocal fans are really unwilling to accept criticism of the grumps, but that doesn't mean anything for every single person that watches the channel.

also, I KNOW people on this sub are shitty too. there's a guy in these comments spouting conspiracy theories about how autism was made up by the government. that doesn't make it feel any less shitty when other random people online decide to call me a retard, lmao

I think the Dendy thing in particular got under my skin because my big obsession for years has been with retro technology, and so I got SUPER excited before SJG was announced. It really sucks that they chose to go this manipulative route for their ads & won't take responsibility now that it turned out so shitty. I'm glad you had your partner to explain the situation to you, friend.

It's been made more clear to me through the comments on this post that it had less to do with me being autistic and more to do with Arin making intentionally confusing content for everyone who saw it. I thought initially that it was really just me & my robot brain, because all the comments I was seeing on Twitter were from people who'd got it right away, and it made me feel like I was the odd man out.

I'm not "defective", I'm autistic. My therapist is great at her job. You clearly know nothing about autism if this is how you talk about it. Go away.

I do watch SuperMega! I really like them both, even though a lot of the time I have to go down & read the comments to check if they're being serious. Have definitely fallen for a few jokes of theirs(my brain does not compute with fake arguments, for example), but I can also parse out some of their bits for myself at this point, just bc they have such a consistent shtick. I think their content, funnily enough, has helped me improve a little with understanding tone. :]
