@DuchessofGeeks I was happy for them esp Harry. Got up early to watch their wedding. Had a bit of side eye w the celebs and 1 single family member on Megs side. Her announcing her pregnancy at E's wedding confirmed what ppl were saying.
@rorynotsorry Went to telehealth bc while I was overweight no dr wanted to help out. Near 18 mos later, im down 45 lbs plus drinking and habitual shopping are waaaaaay down. Id do it just for the drinking alone.
@hell_line0 Requested hormone panel after multiple MCs, was told it wasnt necessary bc hormones change every day during a woman's cycle.
Neglecting women's hormones is SOP for most drs.
People reveal who they really are in their patterns. Not in what they say when they’re trying to fix things, explain themselves, or look good in the moment..but in what they consistently choose to do. Repeated behavior tells the truth every time. Pay attention to what stays the same, especially after conversations, apologies, and second chances. Patterns don’t lie, and they always show you exactly where you stand.
Narcissists have a strong sense of entitlement. They believe they deserve special treatment, admiration, and privileges without necessarily earning them.
This entitlement often leads them to exploit others, disregard boundaries, and react with anger or manipulation when their expectations aren’t met.
It’s one of the core traits of narcissistic personality disorder.
You don’t invite a snake to dinner just because it apologized. You can wish someone well and still mute their number. Peace doesn’t require notifications.
@thisladysview@FoundationDads Husbands family finally started doing this. We have 1 Christmas party hosted by my SIL. Both sets of parents are invited along w their spouses. MIL tried to hijack it this by hosting at hers but siblings said no bc we wouldn't split family time anymore. Not perfect but less drama
@demiurgently W regard to divorce- my MIL boasts that divorce was the best thing she ever did, meanwhile FIL paid alimony + CS for years. Now, she had a million$ home, set to retire & we are paying co-pays bc FIL doesn't have $ for the dr & 10k in 1 retirement acct.
@KurtSupeCPA Seems lately this is the norm rather than the exception based upon what I've seen.
Even the 1 time where it didnt happen, 2md wife was upset she wasnt able to take it all for herself.
@GreatLakesWife_ This + "parenting didnt come w a manual!" & add in "just admit it- you think you're a better parent than me!" For a little extra maternal guilt
