They were also probably similarly upset that they can no longer abuse me after they essentially tried to ruin my life / indirectly kill me for the … 3rd, 4th time? And I then ghosted them to the point that I’m quite sure they think I am dead.
They might be in for a surprise when I report my dad to the IRS for illegally listing me as a dependant on his taxes for the last few years though.
… I’ve got a goddamned degree in Econ and another in Poli Sci, this idiot is Q Anon MAGA cultist who builds ghosts guns in his garage, and bought a house at the literal peak of the housing market, a few years back.
But according to them, I’m the crazy idiot.
Ok then. Sure.
Anyway, I guess +1 for the CPTSD by way of ‘entire family is mentally unstable narcissists’ club.
Oh I made the choice that I will not be having kids, ever, before I got out of highschool.
Not primarily out of spite.
Primarily because I recognize that my upbringing was fucked up enough that it fucked me up, no matter how much therapy I’ve done. There are echoes and tendencies of them… and scars from them…
And also, apparently my mother (and her brother) have a literally novel form of neuropathy… like, they discovered the unique genetic sequence/mutation in them.
So just no, I’m ending this genetic and epigenetic line with myself.
Maybe, maybe if I’m ever not broke and crippled and near destitute, I would consider adoption, but unless my fortunes dramatically improve, not in the cards.
Like the other person who commented I hope you break the cycle as well. I for the most part did. I was very angry and sometimes violent when I was a young adult but I finally got some treatment and things are much better now.
I bet they were upset that they couldn’t do that to you anymore.
They were.

I hope you’ll break the cycle with your kids!

Same, but because of clinical depression. Won’t pass that “gift”.
Well, if nobody’s told you they care about you today, I do.
Hope things are goin at least ok, that something fun or neat happened to ya in the last couple of days.

Still workin on the Zen thing, yeah.
I’m a lot better than I was, but… oh if you manage to actually piss me off, I will explode.
Usually I can control it, but… not every time.
So… not there yet.
Same
