I don’t know if a revival is all that necessary? But I like the amount I got, so maybe I’ll like more? 😬

I really liked that show!

Dashing, as always! I hope you and Crow have a great date night 💜.

You have not failed. The system has failed you and your family. You all deserve safe shelter without having to deal with bs like credit scores. I hope things really do get better. You’re doing the best you can in a failed system, and I’m sorry. 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

So we’re going to need $550 or better to get us through the weekend’s accommodations. Please donate if you can or share with those who can. Every little bit helps us survive. Thank you.

Abusive, malignant narcissists come in many guises and do not change as long as they are benefitting from a continued pattern of shitty behavior.

I will never 9go back. I live with what she did every day. CPTSD and chronic illnesses/pain.

But I’m safe and loved and as distanced as I can be. 10/10

She financially supports me and gf because money is the only way she knows how to show love. It’s restitution.

I sometimes feel bad for her all alone in the house I grew up in. But I remind myself she earned it with a lifetime of using and abusing people, especially me and my siblings.9/?

This is the woman who kicked my sister out at 18 for missing church for work.

She pouted at birthdays that weren’t hers because of not getting attention.

Every holiday together was trauma drama.

She tries to get me to move back to TX so GF will be HER caregiver as well as mine. 8/?

Did the experience of having to care for my dad change my mother from being a narcissist?

Absolutely not.

My sibling and mother live in the same city, and I’ve heard what a mean old bitch she still is (expected sister to kick out her disabled kids and take care of her instead 🤬). 7/?

I do not like that she got to use my dad to get tons of attention as a victim. He didn’t have the intact cognition that would allow him to make his own choices, and as a narcissist, I know she took advantage of that for sympathy as much as she could. My sibling who was local saw a lot of it. 6/?

She still doesn’t know I filed that Adult Protective Services report when she was letting my dad with dementia drive, get lost, and head the wrong way on the freeway towards oncoming cars. I stepped up. He’s been gone for 5 years now, and I don’t regret what I did. Probably never will.5/?

I left the room, cried in mine (was home for summer), found my Inner Bitch, and went back to the intervention room where sisters and I were pleading with her. I told her that he was her husband, not mine, and he was her responsibility, not mine.

I was not sacrificing myself for my abuser. 4/?

My dad was the only person she could ever actually love other than herself.

I stood up to her after a lifetime of abuse when she expected me to quit gradschool, move home, and take care of him so she wouldn’t have to stop working or pay for a caregiver, which she could afford.

I said no. 3/?
