I'm fascinated by how many of these NPD parents describe themselves as "devout Christians."

Panfilo posted:Do these parents ever give a straight answer as to what specifically their kids did? No, never and at times it may actually involve one parent sexually abusing the child growing up while the other pretended it didn't happen. Read some of these posts with THAT in mind and gaze into the abyss.

This thread is like a cross between the /r/relationships thread and the boomer thread.

I kind of assumed the couple who moved in with their parents even though they had their own condo that sat empty for months, that there was complications with the pregnancy. It would be typical of an NPD to see that and view it as a privilege for the daughter's parents that the NPD is being unfairly denied. A recurring theme with NPD parents of a husband is not understanding that his wife is much more comfortable with her own parents when it comes to health/body issues. NPDs view that comfort/preference as a slight as well.

Drunk Nerds posted:I mean, let's assume that this narrative is totally accurate. It still reads as "my stepdaughter was a jerk whom I want out of my life, but now that she's cut herself from our lives I resent her for that" Also, "my wife and I kicked stepdaughter out when she was 14 and that caused long-lasting damage. What the gently caress?" Like, what, you kick a child out - the ultimate form of rejection - and think that's going to FIX things?! ...and, as always, who the gently caress knows what they're not telling us in their version of events.

THOT PATROL posted:I absolutely had to know more about the backstory on this one, and now unfortunately you all do too She's affluent, owns her own business, yet had time to home school her youngest daughter? Realtor. One of the failings of our modern economic system, is that narcissists and psychopaths always seem to rise to the top. I mean, one kid joined the military at age 20, another is dating a trans woman - this woman is odious to a broad spectrum.

Unless the parents are literally millionaires, don't count on inheriting poo poo. These toxic parents are the types to frivolously spend any so-called "inheritance" money away at the casino, and secretly reverse mortgage their house (for more money at the casino). Most of us will just be lucky if their "estate" is enough to cover funeral/burial/cremation expenses. I'm estranged from my father (lots of drug/alcohol issues on top of just weird and abusive behavior), and I often wonder what will happen when he dies. He has negative monies. I'm his oldest son, and I have a younger sister. We're both in different states away from him. Am I on the hook for his burial/cremation? Would they come looking for me? If they find me, can I just say, "nah?" The wildcard is that he has four siblings who live in the same state as him. They'd probably begrudgingly take care of that poo poo if I didn't, and then hold my non-participation against me forever, 'cuz that's the Irish-Catholic way. (Not that it matters, I haven't talked to them for 15 years! Can't shun me if you already don't talk to me!) But I sometimes wonder about his state forcing me to pay thousands of dollars for him even though I'm in a different state, etc.

I'm not worried about my father's MANY debts. Anyone who comes to me for that is just going to get laughed at. I'm worried specifically about the state coming at me for the disposal of his body. I'm not throwing him a funeral, I'm not attending any such thing, and I sure as poo poo don't want to pay for whatever the state does with his unclaimed body. Also, the aunts and uncles I mentioned who might take care of it, I forgot to add they're estranged from him as well. But like I said, they might pony up and take care of it 'cuz Catholicism and poo poo.

Moridin920 posted:I am pretty sure all you have to do is sign a release form for the county coroner's office but again not a lawyer. You'll have to pay them if you want the ashes but otherwise that's all. I ain't signing poo poo, and I don't want poo poo.

Toxic Mental posted:What is the percentage would you guys say that these broken relationships are caused by MAGAchud parents It's a real phenomenon, families breaking up over MAGA versus non-MAGA. QAnon twitter around Thanksgiving and Christmas is just a wasteland of, "Whelp! I was disinvited from holiday meal. Oh well, that's the cost of being a TRUE PATRIOT and knowing THE TRUTH!!!"  accompanied by photos of bologna and Cheeto sandwiches.My mom (not estranged) said something along the lines of, "They always said in history class that the Civil War turned families against each other, and I never understood that until now." There's some real fraying of our society right now, and I don't know what happens next and if it's even possible to undo it.

A lot of these aren't even estranged from their drat kids. They use "estrangement" to mean, "I'm not getting enough attention." Awful, awful people. Also, I saw this article yesterday and thought about this thread. The original headline when I first saw it was, "Stay At Home Moms at Higher Risk for Dementia." I guess someone got offended and they had to reword it. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/16/health/women-jobs-memory-loss-study-trnd/index.html
