Emphasis on the last syllable of poLICE. They're good guys. They ask me opinions about masculine fashion sometimes and never break omertà about not telling things to our shitbag parents.

YAY gender normative wallet talk! I thought this topic would never come up. I am a cis-het dude, that looks like and presents as a cis het dude. Yet because I am comfortable within that fact, I like to buy and use ludicrous wallets. My current wallet is pink, shiny, and has a picture of a cute bunny on it. And the reactions to it are petty much mostly along gender lines. Woemn see it, giggle and compliment me on how cute it is. Blokes see it, scowl and ask me why I am carrying a chicks/kids wallet. So keep fighting the good fight my cobra leather wallet having sisters! And never fear the Heteronormative Gender Police.

My mom called me to remind me that on this day 37 years ago I caused her immense pain. Well, buddy, you've caused me immense pain every day for thirty seven years. Congratulations mom, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm taking to the woods, feral and naked, and I will not return until Monday. Probably. Good luck calling me about that poo poo.

is it a thing to be constantly told how difficult of a birth you were? i was born ridiculously premature (to the point where they didn't know i'd even survive) and heard about it often abuse; that's the thing to do with your kid when they almost die, right? beat the poo poo out of them and treat them like garbage until they get fed up and leave as an adult?

i've lost the ability to tell who is joking and who isn't, but i was a c-section. she relied on her looks a lot and i guess i ruined her or something, between the difficulties of a preemie and "losing her looks" because of me, she hated me from the beginning, sort of liked me when she thought i was a cute little girl, and it only got worse when i started to become my own person and realize i was a dude edit: doesn't help that my brain was hosed as a kid and got way worse when my dad died, when i was eight. way worse. i took a huge nosedive and never recovered

And when you start to change, and grow up, and grow away they have a problem with that. They make everything harder than it has to be. For no drat reason. My mother told me about my birth once. It was a, "Here's what happened. Yeah it sucked, but this is what I went through," and that was it. My stepmother gave birth to three kids and would tell random people on the loving street about how hard it was, and how she had a hysterectomy, and other bullshit no one else cared about. She's a heartless loving loon. So is anyone who blames their kid for being born or stealing their youth or whatever else.

Given the changing nature of the posts maybe it's time to consider moving the thread to E/N? Mocking the posts of delusional monsters is a very different thread than supporting people raised by delusional monsters.

Weird as it sounds, I kind of like it in GBS. We may not be finding stories on the net but we’re kind of poking into each other’s stories. It’s like an odd little oasis on The Worst Forum. Also there was a thread in E/N that p much died.

One of my mother's favourite things to say is "You were much nicer before you learned to talk" Or it would be if we ever talked. Same for the "ruining my body" rubbish. Getting old must be causing her a lot of distress. Currently checking Amazon for a cobra wallet. I want a bright pink one with sparkles.

I was a c-section and she always tells me how painful it was and how I'll never understand it, and that's why she doesn't owe me anything and I owe her literally the rest of my life. She's also obsessed with appearance and spends massive amounts on beauty products and refuses to go in the sun and poo poo like that. Are they cranking these moms out in a factory?

Oddly enough it was always my father that needed to remind me that I was two weeks late and my mother was in so much pain. I honestly don't think she ever mentioned it herself.

there are probably some people who come here to rubberneck, but if people can read what we post and realize things about themselves and their awful families, get help, and take steps to separate from them, it's well worth it. i like this thread right where it is.

oh yeah. abuse can be one of those things you just don't realize is happening to you while you're in it, the proverbial frog in the pot it took seeing my high school friends' reactions to things my mother would do, and how they looked so happy and relaxed with their own parents, to realize i was really hosed over in that department

For sure. Watching my partner's mom and dad, and how they interact with her and each other, was like a big ol' revelatory smack in the face. And they're friggin divorced. I'm also remembering my high school boyfriend's family were extraordinarily kind to me, taking me and him out to dinner after sports and picking me up for school and stuff, and now I'm realizing WHY they were so kind to me. They interacted with my parents a lot.

Seeing a mix of terrible parents stories, plus those of you with normal-ish families reacting to them with amazement and disgust is what convinced me to see a therapist like a year ago, so rubbernecking and GBS style mockery is a thumbs up from me. Namaste.
