Disappointing day... I’m sad.


Posts: 9465

I came home feeling depressed and lonely at the prospect of some bad news i got. 

 

My mom spoke to her financial advisor and decided to pull out of the business, and instead decided to selfishly support her own investment which, no one in the family benefits from but her. She’s taking it all for herself. 

 

I am so disappointed. So disappointed. My mom always does this so i don’t know why i’m Surprised, they’re very up and down. And i always forget thought i try to remind myself. Not to get my hopes up, not to get invested or emotionally attached, not to trust them. 

 

Because one day, it’s like “hey i’m Gonna include you in this business thing and help you out” and the next, it’s all forgotten and like i don’t exist. Another day it’s just all punishment, or coming down harder on me in ways i don’t deserve. Sometimes its just being angry at me because they don’t like me. 

 

It’s just very very inconsistent and up and down, up and down, up and down. I never know what to expect. 

 

And I should of known better but, I really didn’t think she was going to pull this shit but yeah, it’s the financial advisors fault. He basically is helping her make more money for herself for her own retirement, and leaving the kids stranded telling her “we’ll figure it out on our own” 

 

and if we want to continue the business, we have to put our own money into it we take out as loans (that we can’t get, or afford). 

 

So thanks mom. Honestly fuck you for doing this I’m pissed as hell. 

 

When she was telling me i was just like staring straight forward like “I cannot believe you right now you fucking bitch” 

 

but I still smiled, despite wanting to roll my eyes and just walk away. 

 

I’ve been sucking up to their asses for a fucking year, wiping their asses, doing all this stupid shit just to please them, doing so much to hide who i am so they’ll fucking like me. Working so hard to prove myself to them that i’m Capable of working with them in this business. 

 

And what do they do? Hahahah they pull the rug out from under me in 2 seconds flat on a casual Saturday afternoon and it didn’t even affect them. They ddin’t Even think twice about how that might make me feel or what I think about that. 

 

I’m not entitled to their financial help but, they shouldn’t of made promises and gotten my hopes up like they always do, just to ruin it like that smh and then just not even acknowledge that it was kinda shitty. 

 

Whatever i don’t resent them for it i’m Just dissapointed as hell and i’m Exhausted from working my ass off for their approval just for financial gain and it’s just a mess. 

 

My therapist told me they’re unstable and toxic and abusive, that i need to walk away and distance myself in every facet but i acccientally got looped right back in like i always do, by the charming sales-person esc way my mom has abotu her, it just sucks you in before you even think straight enough about what you’re doing it’s really manipiulative and i see her manipulating me all the time but yeah i just didn’t, even catch it this time i was like in a trance like state just falling for more bull shit enamoured with the ideas she fed me 

 

and yeah i just, got suckered. And it sucks. The worst part is i can’t go home to anyone and vent about it because home was the people who did it to me. You know? So i just vent here instead. 

 

This kind of stuff repeadetly happens and i just need to remind m,self to stay, distant. 

 

It’s just, when i had to distance myself it was a dark thing for me that i had to go through and.... yeah it’s a long story but. Just learning to be less codependant on them and their manipulative toxic ways and codependant on taking care of and appeasing someone else constantly, it was a big step for me learning to just be my own person, make my own decisions, and not put myself back in those same situations repeadetly. 

 

Ugh. 

 

Oh well, i can vent about it put it behind me and move forward and i’ll Be ok. I just had to yeah, vent. Cuz i was hella sad.

 

it reminded me of painful things about my relationship with my parents and if you dwindle on it too long you can really get suckered into a depressed m,ind set but yeah i’m Just gonna try to move forward... 

 

unfortunately these times are a huge trigger for me addiction wise and so i’m Gonna go to a meeting tonight like always and try not to relapse. 

 

I’m always trying not to relapse. Hah. Yeah.. always, cleaning up the mess my parents made in me. On my own. Left to deal with it. Yeah. It’s a pattern in life. This time it wasn’t so severe but there have been times where it was and, i never got resolve on that you know. Just an open wound that I never dealt with. I dn’t know how to but maybe these groups i’m In and therapy and stuff can help :/ 

 

need to learn to deal with my sadness in better ways than just using drugs like, i’m Analyzing why i’m Sad and stuff and now i just need to go find the shit that will help me work through it mentally and come out on the other end feeling ok. Which is therapy.

On a much nicer note, while I dont agree with some of the stuff you've written here,  I do feel you on knowing this is relationship with your parents is awful for your mental health. Yet somehow going back everytime.

My mom is the sweetest woman in the world...when she wants something material from me and it's not like I dont know this and am shocked but I love that crazy bitch and want her to love me so I keep giving her what she wants.  

Ofc you want their approval but maybe it's time to go no contact if they keep hurting you in ways that make you want to relapse.

I usually just link it as a relative reminder. It's easier to see it when others are going through it compared to when it's your own problem, as when it's them you won't feel the same reason to make excuses for the Narc-Parent.

I went over there this morning to see the pit bulls and just pl;ay with the dogs, and also after thinking about what i wrote here, it made me realize, why dont’ i just tell my mom how it made me feel 

 

i had my apprehensions about it but i went and did it anyway because it would bother me if i didn’t at least try. 

 

So i went andtold her, honestly I’m dissapointed. 

 

Unfortunately everyone was in an unstable mood this morning which, i should of picked up on but. I just was being in optimistic in thinking that conversation would go well but. 

 

It’s hard to explain but basically it ended up them yelling at me about a lot of stuff and, ultimately my mom just only thinking about what she wanted and not noticing how what they were treating me like this morning was hurting me. 

 

And so after bearing the conversation for two hours, i just got up and left. 

 

Because... i’m Tired. You know. I’m just tired. I’ve done all that i can do you know, for them. And by this point I’m just burnt out, sitting there getting screamed at, and criticized. And no one is noticing or caring about how thats hurting me... they dont see the person they’re yelling at because they’re too busy thinking about themselves and what they want. They’re so concerned with they don’t realize you know, what their responsibilities are as a parent. 

 

I think i just wanted them to care about how all of this made me feel. But they’re literally not even capable of seeing that hah. And I’m so tired of how it turns out when i try to make myself vulnerable to them, and trying to teach them how to treat me as a parent, as a person. Demanding respect. Etc. 

 

and then when i do that of course, it just comes with more repercussions, it’s exhausting and the results are damaging. They just get more angry at me for demanding respect. But if i don’t stand up for myself, it’s a lose lose you see what i mean. 

 

I tried. But damn I’m tired. And yeah they basically just criticized me for two hours. Telling me I’m not good enough. My mom said she’s the smartest person in the room... eye roll. I tried to let all of this slide but they just keep knit picking away. Getting angry about my posture and my facial expression. And after sharing my thoughts, they undermine them or combat them in a really belittling way. Saying I’m wrong for thinking that basically you know it’s invalidating to say the least. 

 

The topic changed to something else I don’t even know, and they started arguing about stuff and I got caught in the middle of it of course. Of course. It’s just a mess. Ugh. And yeah then the anger got directed at me at the end of the day. They’re yelling. It’s a mess. 

 

At this point I realize there’s no more damage control that can be done, i couldn’t salvage this you know it was just cooked. So I just grabbed my bag and my keys and was like “i gotta go get something to eat....” and just walked out. They didn’t pay attention to that though, they just were too busy yelling at each other I don’t even know what. I get overwhelmed and just start zoning out naturally like blocking it out so. I didn’t really hear it. 

 

I just, saw no reason in being there anymore and felt pretty sad again, and realized the situation was futile you know. I gave up. Basically lol. Because I’m tired. And I just went home kind of mopy as I always get after being around them. They drain me. 

 

And decided you know I gotta do whats best for me right now and that’s just working on my personal growth and what makes me happy you know like... so I just am gonna read by the pool.. my ACA book about shitty parents. Yeah that one. Hahah. And just cope mentally with all of it internally for a minute... and I got a Starbucks but. I have so much anxiety right now i can’t even drink it. 

 

I nearly had a panic attack sitting there while they screamed. Because of my dad, he was yeah. A little off the chain today and ugh my mom too so. Now i have to like recoil and just reset myself mentally for a second. And move forward independently from that fucked situation. 

 

They dont’ realize it but they’re not really as productive as they could be because they waste so much time arguing with each other, and being stupid lol. It’s probably best I don’t work with them financially anyways and just continue forward as independently as possible. 

 

I’m making my peace with it and learning to be ok on my own. It requires you to be a strong person, and that takes work and growth and such so... yeah.... that’ll just be my focus instead. Like work on myself, work on my financial independence, etc. Rather than getting so emotionally wrapped up in their bull shit and trying to please them (which is impossible), just walk away you know. 

 

My therapist was right but I just forgot. Stay, away.

Well Mary. Didn't I tell you to disengage from your Mother's teet a long time ago now, and you should have listened to me ?
