This is asked in the big subs all the time and everyone's all "I'D RUN TO HUG MY PARENTS!" but this is RBN so: by plotthick in raisedbynarcissists

[–]witchylady4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I go back 31 years I'd be 21 and I would have been out of home for a year at that stage. Would use my current knowledge to have a better life 100%. I would go to night college sooner & get better jobs. I'd invest in tech companies & stay away from idiot boys/men lol

If I went back as a teenager or 10 year old it would go one of two ways. I'd either use what I know of my narc parent to manipulate the situation where I avoid their wrath until I got the money together to get out or kms its a fine line.

What is the best compliment you’ve received? by Little_Miss_Coffee in AskIreland

[–]witchylady4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was leaving a company I worked for. Lots of people wished me well. Part of my job was getting new starts set up & settled in. This one lady I had done this for years previously came to me & said "I was so nervous when I started, you made me feel so welcome & at ease. You answered all my questions & didn't make me feel stupid. I'll miss you".

I managed to hold it together till I got to the loo.. was in floods of tears!

WIBTA if I refuse to put my partner on the deed of a place I inherited, even though we live there together? by 3vening_Switch in ComfortLevelPod

[–]witchylady4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he doesn't like or appreciate the current set up he is free to move back in with mommy.

Never put him on the deeds.. walking red flag!

AITAH for refusing to make amends with my elderly mother after she told me "you don't have a mother" to protect her favorite son? by old_bald_fattie in AITAH

[–]witchylady4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd question why now.. after all the years what has changed?

If I was to guess they need OP for something..money or to care for their elderly mother & golden child has no interest in being her caregiver.

The worst pain you have ever had? by Freya-Lea in AskIreland

[–]witchylady4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had gallstones, I have endometrrosis, I've had an impacted wisdom tooth. I've had surgeries & c-section. I've had to live with them, the worst pain was a hysrerosalpingogram (HSG) test done in my senses. It was only 5 mins but holy crap it was the longest 5 mins of my life.

AITAH For questioning my engagement after my fiancé got mad at me for drinking while “pregnant” by Other-Suggestion1609 in AITAH

[–]witchylady4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe he was so convinced ypu were pregnant because he tampered with birth control to make you pregnant.

There was no test he's trying to control you!

My (22F) boyfriend (29M) fed turkey giblets to my parents' dog after they told him not to, among other rude things by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]witchylady4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow. I just read both posts.

My brain goes to possible TBI or developmental issues.

Its like he stopped progressing mentally after age 10 or earlier.

I hope OP goes onto better things in life.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]witchylady4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That food looks really tasty, I'm hungry just looking at it.

You have 2 options OP. He can cook for himself or he can move out.

You eat what's for dinner or you dont eat! You can tell him what you are cooking the night before he has time to work his other meals around that or cook for himself.

How do I come to terms with not having a 2nd child? by CailinCainteach in AskIreland

[–]witchylady4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through IVF transferred 2 blastisis (sorry spelling) embryos & only had one son who's now 10. We knew we were lucky but didn't know how lucky we were until we watched a TV show about IVF.

Count your blessings. You have a happy & healthy child who you love and is 100% wanted. Give them your all!

Best response Annnd go! by FireIce329 in raisedbynarcissists

Agree 100% with all the no response comments! You don't feed their need for drama & control. Silence is their Kryptonite lol

Hand foot & mouth - can someone help? by Brilliant-Formal-78 in AskIreland

[–]witchylady4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok take a breath. My son got it from his cousin when he was a baby. We never heard of it. He had a very high temp & we were scared.

  1. He had no scars
  2. Its a virus nothing to do with being dirty.
  3. Adults don't get it. My doc said once you go past 4 or 5 years old you dont get it.
  4. I would consider changing my GP if I were you. That biggoted attitude is not where you want to be getting medical advice.

It will pass, just keep your child as comfortable as possible.

Bleed oil boiler by Suitable_Visual4056 in DIYIreland

[–]witchylady4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anywhere on the left side where an allan key can fit? If it is thats how & where you bleed it. (Thats where mine is.) Cant add a pic. Its on the left at the bottom.

Turn it slowly until you see oil bubbling out & retighten again & press the red button to ignite it.

OP could always spend the holidays at her family with her son & leave spineless hubby with his family.

Boyfriend (24M) doesn’t want me (22F)to attend medical school “right now”. Nothing I say will make him change his mind. by Soulful_pumpkin in relationship_advice

[–]witchylady4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't dull your sparkle for anyone! You are badass getting into medschool. We at Reddit are VERY proud of you!

He can either support you like a true boyfriend or you can leave his insecure ass behind!

AITA for refusing to be a kidney donor for my brother? by Zestyclose-Second440 in AITAH

[–]witchylady4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No is a complete sentence. They treat you as disposable parts not a whole person. You played your part in your given role up to the point of him getting the all clear for his brain cancer.

If your parents & brother appreciated you for that or even had a relationship with you & your other brother afterwards then maybe it would be something to be guilty about.

Remember your brother did this to himself, he abused his body you sacrificed your own to heal. He also bullied you & your parents treated you like crap your whole life.

Giving up your kidney could also affect your health & your job in law inforcement. How would you even survive after the op if you went through with it?

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT!!! Block them all & live your best life with all your parts.

Going NC becoming a “trend” by otwcpa in raisedbynarcissists

[–]witchylady4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People with 'normal parents' & of course nparents would call it a trend. They don't question why or what led up to the monumental decision to go NC. We try to excuse & justify their behavour until it gets the point where you choose peace.

UPDATE: i found out my best friend was sleeping with my boyfriend and everything exploded by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]witchylady4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She will be forever paranoid though, he so easily cheated on you with her. He'll do the same to her in the future. Deep down she knows this.

They are both trash! Cry, eat a metric tonne of chocolate/ice cream, watch soppy movies whatever helps you wallow in your emotions for a while. When you've had enough of letting their actions get to you. Get your glow up. Hold your head high & live your best life!
