hot take: moms need to learn how to listen to and comfort their daughters without making everything about their own traumas

[real-pcys-deactivated20190118]

a classic example

daughter: hey this thing you do bothers me very much and i wish you wouldn’t do it

mom: well my parents abused me and im not even as bad as they were and i had to sit through it so you gotta sit through whatever i do to you too

[daeranilen]

a common variant

mom: well i’m having a really hard time right now and you know that i’m doing my best and that i didn’t mean to hurt you ergo you are in fact the asshole for asking me to consider your feelings and change my behavior during this hard hard time i’m having

[thetrekkiehasthephonebox]

daughter: There’s this thing that bothers me about school/life

mom: well I’m so sorry that I’m a terrible mother and that I can’t fix every problem

[jabberwockypie]

I have legitimately blocked people on here after seeing them do the “Fine, you’re right, I’m a terrible person” thing. I lived with that shit for more than 20 years, I’m making the choice not to have people like that in my life anymore.

[rarebearcreativeworks]

Or when people are like they didn’t mean to - that wasn’t their intention . Like bitch their intention has nothing to do with how they made you feel ! Hate it !

[itrieddontjudgeme]

“I’m sorry you have this mental illness, I guess I caused it by being a terrible mom, what did I do wrong?” “You don’t need a therapist just talk to me” “why can’t you just make yourself happy?” “Don’t be such a downer” …….

[normal-horoscopes]

Literally nothing makes me happier than the idea of hunting Elon Musk for sport. I am completely serious. The thought actively brings joy to my day.

[normal-horoscopes]

I'd even give him a backpack of food, maybe a day's worth. I'd even leave all his little gadgets on him. You'd only get connection with satellite anyway. He's got to feel confident or it's no fun.

[iamaperture]

Would you toy with him a bunch, or just go straight-in for the kill?

[normal-horoscopes]

Oh you absolutely draw it out are you kidding? You let the initial confidence erode into loneliness as the food and batteries run low, and helplessness when they run out, then fear when he realizes I gave him a canteen but no water. Am I trying to prolong the hunt? Or is it a trap to draw him out towards the rivers? The answer is both.

I’d let him get clever. Maybe he can start a fire with the electronics, maybe he read that he can brew the pine needles into tea for some extra calories. Maybe hes one of those guys that carries a multitool he never uses. Maybe he whittles a branch into a crude spear and manages to catch a salmon. Maybe he learns how many little bones they have.

More likely he goes hungry. That’s when you start fucking with him. You sneak into his camp at night. You leave him protein bars. Good ones. You make him feel watched. You make him feel desperate.

You wait for the full moon. Then you break out the horns and dogs and you learn how fast he can really run.

You seriously need to see a therapist

[uncle-beanbag]

I kinda wish the tables would turn on people like op

[azzy-the-christian-furry-deacti]

My gut says OP’s response to “what did Elon do to you?” is “he became wealthy and I’m envious and would rather him be dead”

[normal-horoscopes]

It's actually the congolese child slave labor and the illegal apartheid emerald mines and the assisting overthrowing the democratically elected government of Bolivia for lithium but go off king
