Adultosaur is my fucking spirit guide.

u comfy there in ur armchair bro?

Nah. Fuck 'em.

Wow. Or they come from our therapists recognizing the environment we were subjected to while we're in there trying to pick up the pieces. Fuck you.

Narcissistic parents are a special type of hell. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

After being placed in my second foster home at age 14, I cut off all communication with my alcoholic mother. I didn't speak to her for the last 15 years of her life. My great-aunt (mother's father's sister) who always defended my mother regardless of the crap she put the rest of the family through, told me that…

Whatever. Fuck these people and their fucking gadgets. I'm not here to throw shade on you if fitness isn't your thing. So move along if you watch HoC while eating a tub of tres leches cake. Life is short, I'm glad you found your way to forget we are all headed to the grave.

My aunt and uncle - who I have thankfully cut out of my life about 3 years ago, when I was 27 - CONSTANTLY brought up the fact that, when I was in 3rd grade, they gave me their old checks to play with. Said checks were useless, as they had closed the account and thought the absolute best thing to do with them was to…

I just want to point out that the way I took Arichsea's comment was not as sarcasm or an attack, but as a truth they had experienced. I've known other people to feel the same way about parents who have passed.

SO much easier to be like that when they're dead though.

It doesn't require magazine articles, this exact thing will be happening in the comments within the half hour.

I have no doubt this invite was cheaper than therapy. I agree with you in a way, for nice normal little happy families who have their little spat, this would be ugly and loud. For someone who was abused for years, this may have been the best way to express their feelings and well deserved to the people who received…

I'm going to say that the catharsis may be worth it after years of abuse.

Except so much of the abuse endured from a narcissist is that your voice is stomped out. You are silenced repeatedly, because their word is always the most important. It is healing and therapeutic to reclaim your voice, and at first, it can be raw and abrasive. Because of course it is— they haven't had the privilege…

Is this going to lead to more magazine articles about how awful it is when these terrible narcissistic, entitled children cut off their parents just for subjecting them to year after year of abuse?

These are the ones we use. I originally got them to try to mitigate the damage when my son eats something he shouldn't (he's only 5 so it happens) but my husband wound up using them pretty regularly and he says they help a lot.

Here's a secret, from a person with both anaphylaxis AND Crohn's in their family: sometimes, people say that they're "allergic" to something when they mean that it gives them severe gastric distress, because saying "oh, I can't have that because it locks down my digestive system and gives me the death shits" isn't…

I gotta disagree on that one. Yes most of the "cutting back on gluten" people are probably full of shit but there are absolutely varying degrees of food intolerance. My son can't handle any gluten; a tiny bit and he develops a rash but my husband can have a beer or a bowl of pasta if he takes his digestive enzymes. A…

that is a great story, actually cooler than mine, I'd say. I pride myself on being able to do accents pretty well. I can do a decent New Zealander as well, and I also worked in northern England for a while, so I can do a fair Yorkshire. They also have awesome slang. Really interesting place for accents, the UK,…

Thank goodness, I was having trouble finding the "princess" setting on my beard trimmer.
