First, what happened? Why you mad at her? Maybe she is not narcissistic, maybe you just see it this way. I am not saying you are wrong or right, but try to cool down before jumping to conclusions.
@hanysm@gmail.com I've been mistreated my whole life bro, my mom HATES ME she even admitted it several times, one time she said that my little sisters shoes are more valuable than me infront of my siblings ššš she thrives off provoking me what are u talking about bro, today i told her that i got an A and all she said was "okay!" istg ive never done something horrible even tho sometimes she gaslights me into thinking that i'm a bad person and I deserved all of that, but ik myself.
@noneed1 First congratulations on the A. That's an achievement and you should be proud of yourself. š Second, reflect on your relationship with your mother by considering specific behaviors and patterns that make you feel mistreated. Are there recurring themes? It can also be helpful to talk to a trusted adult or counselor about your experiences to gain an outside perspective. When it comes to communication, using "I" statements can be effective. This allows you to express your feelings without blaming, such as saying, "I feel hurt when..." This approach can reduce defensiveness. Choosing the right time to discuss sensitive topics is essential; try to have these conversations when both of you are calm and not in the heat of an argument. Listening actively is also crucialāshow that you are willing to understand her perspective, which can encourage more open communication. In terms of conflict resolution, focus on solutions rather than dwelling on past issues. Work together to find practical ways to move forward. Itās also important to accept that some disagreements may not be resolved, and thatās okay. Respecting each other's differences can help maintain peace. Lastly, prioritize self-care by engaging in activities that help you relax and recharge, such as hobbies or spending time with friends. Building a support network is vital; connect with friends, family members, or counselors who can offer guidance and emotional support. By approaching the situation thoughtfully and seeking constructive ways to communicate, you can improve your relationship with your mother while also taking care of your own emotional needs.
@hanysm@gmail.com Beautifully said, Thank u SO MUCH, i really appreciate the time and effort you put into this, i can see that helping me in the future, thank u againā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Talk to a therapist or someone you trust.
Why do you have to deal with her? You have ocd. Thatās not going to change. Maybe she caused it maybe not. But itās not going anywhere. You can recover though. As far as your mom, if sheās truly a narcissist then your anger does not matter to her. Your feelings do not matter to her. So again why do you need to deal with her? Set boundaries, limit the access she has to you and work on your self. As far as the anger , itās only hurting you . Again she wonāt care. You accept it , process it and move on. It sucks I get it. My wife has a narcissistic father. Hits all the requirements in the DSM or what ever for the diagnosis, just missing a professional diagnosis š. Once my wife realized he was not going to change and her hurt and anger only affected herā¦ she set boundaries and only allows the access she chooses to allow to her father. Seems to be working for her. Good luck !
@Iām Batman She is, I'm trying, thank youšš»
@noneed1 Look up Tim fletcher on YouTube. He has a lot of good videos on recovering from narcissistic abuse and complex trauma. At least itās a place to start. Finding a therapist you click with helps as well. Good luck !
I also think my mother caused my sister and me to suffer from mental health issues. We did ask her to go to family therapy with us, once in our early 20, then again in our late 30s, she refused. Apparently, she had been an awesome mother and we are just ungrateful brats. Needless to say, both my sister and me have cut contact with her and the first Christmas I didn't force myself to visit her, had been the best Christmas in my life, even though I spent it alone.
I have a lot to say to my parents, I am 35 mine started young but hit hard at 16. Why didnāt they get me the help with this I needed growing up?? I could have been cured of this mess this disorder I didnāt have to suffer for 22 years. I feel like a fool like a idiot for suffering all these years I feel like a fool for my past for me trying to āfigure myself outā it didnāt have to be like this or like it is for me right now my life could have been so much better and full of love. I am angry both my parents were drug addicts my mom had OCD she didnāt deserve to have kids when my symptoms got severe I turned suicidal my mom decided she wanted a divorce and abandoned us took my bro and sis and left me with her ex. I watched my dad tumble thru the divorce threatens suicide on me 3 times and I watched him put a shotgun in his mouth. All this is coming back up I am 35 now. I canāt stop thinking about the things I saw and the things that happened to me growing up. All this is on the surface now I am dealing with it. Itās all horrible I have been holding all this in for 22 years. I just want to be free and happy š. I feel Horrible
Here I am having a bad day with ocd . Meanwhile , my mom is giving Ton of crap for ridiculous things like ; having my hair messy, being late to work, not being able to do things on my own like drive a car and/ or transport myself to own places on my own. This is so exhausting she has no idea what I am going through and everyday is a fucking battle for me . The other day she was very upset I hadnāt cleaned up my room but that is all due to my ocd :( I canāt even do that . Not to mention, if I ever do clean my room I have to always do it in such precise way . I canāt have any interruptions and I always have to have everything done the way I feel is right . Aside from the anxiety I get from that, Iām also feeling overwhelmed with my daily ocd thoughts . Somebody help me !
So my mom wasn't/isn't the best mom in the world and she hevaly traumatized me. My parents are devorsed and I go to my mom's house every other weekend, now I haven't been diagnosed with ocd yet (I have a diagnosis app on the 11th) so I don't have any meds for it, anyway, I keep having these thoughts of harming my mother in extream ways, and I made the decision that I can't go to her house until we figure out what's going on with me for her own safety, I can't get any of these thoughts to go away and ik really scared
