What's Bothering You?

[Princess Mipha]

My mom's such a narcissist. She gaslights people, and treats my grandparents and I like we're lower than her. I absolutely despite it. We went to do some paperwork and such to buy a new car (as my grandpa's car was totaled), and the lady who worked with us started to talk about how both her mother and brother are ill, and that she has to take care of them. Just was venting a little to us about the stress and all, which I was fine with. I was a bit annoyed when my mom starting agreeing with her, about how difficult life was... she just throws a pity party (as a friend of mine likes to call it) every chance she gets.

And she... views me as competition, it seems. I don't know if that's necessarily the right word, but she compares me to her. In the past, she has said that she was so pretty when she was my age, criticized my handwriting, said her phone was 'smarter' than mine, that she was the best at counting money and calculating, that she is never wrong... She's quite abusive.

And, I'm so conflicted. I try to push myself and make myself realize that yes, this is abusive, but also a part of me still cares for my family. However, I'm going to try to push myself forward. I just can't deal with this type of environment anymore. I hope to move out as soon as I get the chance.

I can somewhat relate to this. After my Mom left my Dad she became a totally different person, very mentally abusive towards me. She was for all the years she was with my Dad my best friend, I was a total motherchild~
I ended up breaking the contact with her and eventually she was the one who tried to bring the contact back after about a year. Maybe what your Mom needs is a break like that. Sometimes people just don't realise what they are doing, even if you tell them. Sometimes they need a strong action, I guess :/

Good luck with her still!
Always hard to have a familymember that brings you down.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that as well. :/

Thank you, I appreciate your words. Yeah, I think it'll be best for my mental health if I distance myself from my family a bit. I do care about them, but I'm going to do what I believe is best for me.

My mom is seriously #1 whine *****. Like I bought smaller beer cans as you requested to be nice but now they are bit too strong and you wanted others? They are not that strong and we had em perfectly fine before.

Also it would be nice if you actually helped with the dishes, and you can call me if you want me to put on the oven for you, you know my memory sucks lol...

Brother gets surgery Monday.

He has two tears in his meniscus and a thin ACL. They might have to work on the ACL too. But the meniscus is the main problem... I hope he turns out okay. I'm gonna be the best sister I can and take care of him while he's in the recovery phase ; w ;

Lack of sleep. And just my general state of mind in general.
