I wrote this whole thing about mum and dad, and whatever, and I just can't be bothered.
It hurts Mum is off the deep end and hasn't tried to make amends or meet my boundaries for a relationship. It's like she's given up and gone full boar into her delusions, and I'm left behind as a "possessed devil worshipper".
Like, she isn't even Christian or anything, just super spiritual and lost within her schizophrenic angel-and-demon obsession. That demons and devils, and "evil psychics from the US" are committing "psychic assaults" and causing mental illness.
I just want my fucking mum back.
I’m sorry Spud. Sometimes people just can’t be who we need them to be but it doesn’t hurt any less.
Don’t internalise any of that crap :(
So sorry. I have a parent that went full extreme right wing conspiracy nutter during covid and has never come back. We don’t talk anymore, after much trying on my part and none on theirs. I have no advice other than look after your own mental health, because you probably can’t do anything about theirs. They have 100% certainty in their righteousness. I hope your situation is not as bad though. It’s rough, because it’s like loosing a parent. Actually, it is loosing a parent. You’ll grieve and wonder why. But you’ll feel better in time if you prioritise yourself. Took me too long to learn that.
I'm so sorry. So many hugs.
Really sorry to hear that.
Aw fuck spud I'm sorry to hear that 🫂
