Did your parents ever tell you that you could become the next killer or psychopath? My N mother always told my father I could be a psychopath behind my back and to my face since I was a child. I struggled with mental health issues and disability, sometimes making me a nuisance in the family. When I didn't cooperate in the family and had behavior issues because of mental issues, she would tell my father they raised a psychopath. submitted by /u/Hibiki-Houjia [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

God knows I’ve tried. But my dad can turn a talk about the weather into an argument. Here’s a sample. Me: UV rays can still harm you through the window My dad: Where do you get this fucking bullshit? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard Me: A licensed dermatologist My dad: she’s just trying to sell sunscreen. I’ve researched this for YEARS and KNOW what you are saying is false. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Show me the PROOF, the STUDIES Me: (getting flustered) She’s a dermatologist so she quotes licensed papers in her videos and produces links to- NDad: licensed papers? scoff ..read more

So, today I decided to visit her for her birthday since she has been on her best behavior. Visits with her aren't regular. At most we have four a year. To preface, she was physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusive to me for most of my life. She parentified me, sheltered me and tried to ruin my social life. Oh, and she was extremely homophobic while I was growing up. When CPS finally took us away, I started therapy and she went to rehab. I have not forgiven her for a lot of things, but I gave her an ultimatum. If she behaves and stops harassing me and my dad, then we can keep contac ..read more

I am 23 years old, my mother and I fought today and she called me a whore and I called her a bitch. I regret calling her a bitch. she is still my mother but she is not there... always opening my letters, looking at my boobs/ass, giving me dirty looks, looking me up and down all the time, threatening to kick me out to put me in a hostel - has been doing that since I was 19 years old, calling me a whore since I was 15 years old, using religion as an excuse to abuse me, threatening to kill me if I came out as a bisexual to other family members, accusing me for lying when I got r*ped when I was 1 ..read more

When you become an adult and learn so much, you really start to put things into perspective and realize that your parent was a narcissist the whole time and not a loving parent. My mother never spoke positivity into me..She talked bad about me to other family members, sabotaged my romantic relationships and embarrassed me in front of friends, commented about my weight/hair, compared me to other kids during my childhood, never came out to support me for my school events, made fun of and laughed at my poor mental health and suicidal thoughts (at the time..I am much better now), and the list goe ..read more

Hey peeps. 28f and recently decided to go no contact with mom. Dad as well due to him being an enabler. I have days where I think about all the toxic behavior my mom has put me through over the years and no longer feel guilty and then I have moments where I miss the family. I just recently had my first baby 6 weeks ago and I just want to no longer think about my parents so I can focus on enjoying my baby girl. Btw happy to share why I went no contact in the first place if anyone wants to know. I will try my best to summarize as you all know dealing with narcs can be a lot ! Thanks in advance ..read more

When I was a kid and got in trouble at times, they made it a very big deal. Like they would act very over dramatic. Like they would look scared or cry (well my mom would) and my dad would yell at the top of his voice like I’m a criminal that needs to be locked up and have a brutal punishment. There was one time where I posted pictures on instagram and they were inappropriate. This was a long time ago. And no it wasn’t pictures of me nude or anything. It was like internet pics with profanity on them. I did this to get more followers because I was a young kid that wanted to be popular and loved ..read more

I (35f) cut my nmom off. Years of gaslighting, manipulation, guilt tripping, putting my sister (26f) and I against each other... So much. All of the following is going to be pretty disconnected. I can't think straight but I gotta get the words out. I have a 10 yo child. And even THEY knew they wanted nothing else to do with my mother. I'm exhausted. I didn't cry a lot, but I know it's going to happen. Thankfully I have a wonderful MIL to step in. I have a great support system where we live, in a different state from nmom. My dad is supportive of my decision. They've been divorced for over a d ..read more

it’s gotten to the point where i’m posting sob stories on my ig reels because i just feel so misunderstood and lonely. i feel outcasted from everyone and no one in my circle can relate/ cares about the issues that my mother has brought upon me. i went to rehab for a year and they conditioned me to believe that i was a problem child and that i should “make amends” with my parents by accepting them for who they are. for a while i kept telling myself i wouldn’t change them for anything because they made me who i am today and i am starting to like myself!!!1! such BULLSHIT. what tipped me over th ..read more

My mother just texted me to inform me that my ex just had a baby with his wife. For context, my mom wants grandkids so she can take them and raise them. Even her friends have told me this fixation is troubling. She is constantly asking my brother and I for money because she can’t pay her bills. She has always had money problems and my brother and I have gone to great lengths to not live that life. After spending my little brothers 30th birthday yesterday trying to get us to give her money (she forgot it was his birthday) she texted me out of the blue today to inform me my ex had a baby. My hu ..read more
