Not me. My father had mental problems that got treatment and my mom had other ones that fly more under the radar. On hindsite I think I had a particular thing but who knows. Kinda sounds like my wife though.
Why does this have to be text, in a tweet, with a random background, as an image, with not even alt text?
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
Now you're stuck in a life you didn't expect to see so it's kinda awkward because you weren't supposed to be here.
Feels like those videogames in which you fall off the map or glitch in a way that lets you get to a part where you shouldn't be and everything is weird because the game itself isn't prepared for what's happening.
Also yeah, mother is a narcissist, father is emotionally stunted and both were heavy drinkers and smokers when I was a kid. Yay! I relate!
Wrong!
My father is the narcissist and my mom is emotionally stunted.
Damn you must be messed up
In reality you parents are almost certainly also neurodivergent too
My dad is, 100%. Does that mean he'll care and get a diagnosis? Hell no
My mother tries to use it as an excuse now that Ive been diagnosed.
yeah this is exactly me. I didnt intend to even make it to 18 yet here i am
I damn near ended up in the military I was so shocked to survive high school. Fuckin what the hell was I going to do? My routine! It was all gone!
Holy fuck, I've never felt like the eye of sauron was looking directly at me until now.
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Has anyone out there survived this character creation diceroll?
I got a 16 in stair jumping
That is a pretty lit stat. I guess I'd dump a few scores for that
Eh. My mom and dad are really cool and pretty progressive people. But my mom has terrible anxiety and my dad has adhd. Guess who got both?
To be fair, it wasn't for lack of trying that I didn't die young. I did all the drugs, but somehow I got past 27 anyway.
You and me both. My husband and I thought we'd be out before 40 and now we don't know what to do with ourselves
Pretty sure my dad is partially emotionally stunted due to being autistic and because of parents who weren't always the greatest. But that's something I'll never truly have an answer to considering he refuses to get tested for it and his insistence he wouldn't have been allowed in the military if he was autistic.
I'm 9999% positive he's the reason I have it.
Ha, joke's on you!. My father is a narcissist, my mother was emotionally stunted, and I...
Swap around the parent rolls, a dash of a middle sister as bad as any bully, and bam you have my family "life."
If I’d known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.
Damn, I just thought your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry.
Reverse the mom and dad part and trade the thing with anxiety and you got it nailed on the head.
My dad was neglectful undiagnosed autistic, my mom was emotionally volatile undiagnosed ADHD. And I am traumatized (cPTSD) AuDHD
you got my dad and mom mixed up tho
Flip the genders, then add a religious cult and it's me. Except I was told the end of the world would arrive before I turned 18, so my entire childhood was a forced quest for being as "holy" as possible to make sure I would be allowed in heaven.
That shit took years to get past
If you replace the Narcissistic mother with an insufferably negative and judgemental person, does that count?
I haven't even had breakfast yet dude
Stop reading my diary!
I don’t appreciate being called out like this. Especially that last line. I’ve been expecting to die soon for nearly 30 years now and for some reason I’m still chugging along. Wtf.
This does not bode well for me. My prognosis is a heart attack before 50.
I already know it deep down though. I'm going to live until I'm 970 years old, and I'm going to be so pissed that there will be a thundercloud of misery following me around. Flowers will die as I walk past, birds will fly away, and children will dare each other to peep through my fence. When the front door opens and they hear all the bones dangling from my cane, and they'll run screaming in terror.
