Hi!

I got a switch 2 two weeks ago and I’m currently searching for game recommendations.

I have been a Zelda fan for 2 decades and have all the main games and the age of imprisonment. I also play animal crossing and Pokémon (shield/ sword and purpur)

Do you have any recommendations for other games that might match my interests? It doesn’t even need to be Zelda or Pokémon, I’m open for other games.

The only no: Mario, any kind of Mario since I’m a professional Mario hater (just kidding but I have never liked it)

TIA

I have been estranged from my parents for half a year now and I live in the same area as they are. My parents never contacted me except for one single time right at the beginning of no contact.

I have had two different occasions of similar kind and I’m not sure what to think about this.

Around Easter my mom dropped an envelope in my mail box. In there: a tiny paper toy from my uncle and two 50 bucks bills that had been labelled with grandma and uncle, nothing else. I thought yea cool it’s Easter money.

Today I received another envelope all along with old mails that have been sent to my old address (I fixed that already). And again: an envelope with a labelled bill inside nothing else, I don’t know what for, but it was from my grandmother.

I feel so weird about this. I don’t want contact with them, don’t get me wrong but these envelopes rub me the wrong way. There is nothing personal to it, it’s so sterile…
I think it frustrates me because it’s proving me right that they can easily move on without me and that they don’t care.
I know it sounds paradox and maybe I’m confused about how I shall feel.

Do you have any advice?

Referring to the depressed guy we meet at night under a tree in kakariko village (child link). He is the son of the master carpenter and the old hag and the brother of the cucco lady.

The only thing that never made sense to me (feel free to correct me) is that the lost woods just don’t have any stalfos. Yes, there are some in the forest temple but how would he even get there? If we assume that grog transformed right where he was, how would he even get into the forest temple when link himself needed to hookshot to enter? The rest of the area contains no stalfos. Is it maybe an area inaccessible to us? Did he turn into a translucent state? Like a forest spirit ? The skull kids we meet as a child have a spirit-like feeling to them and can magically disappear when approached.

You could argue that grog teleported to another place but could he really?

Maybe there are no other stalfos in the lost woods because he was the first adult too become lost there?

WTH happened to him? Or did he walk out of the forest with Cojiro to live his best life ? (Which is unlikely due to what fado said)

What are your thoughts on this?

It’s a memory that resurfaced.

When I was about 5 years old, my nmom separated from my dad and we lived with her bf quite far away.

One day we were visiting a indoor pool when I suddenly noticed that everyone from my family was gone. I ran around the whole pool and changing area crying and calling for my mother. I checked every stall and searched every corner frantically. At one point a employer picked me up and I explained her that my mother was gone. The employer called her out over the speakers and eventually she came.

You should have seen her face. A narcissistic smirk and she was laughing at me and told me that she hid from me intentionally to scare me.

Yes mummy that was really funny * irony off *

Heels 👠

Yes, heels 👠 my narcmom despises them more than anything. Why? I don’t know but when I wore them (if I wore them at all) a lot of mockery and mean af comments. I never understood it. Wore them on Christmas when relatives came. She was so mad but stayed composed. Screamed at me to take my f shoes of when using the stairs because I would ruin the stairs.

She despises certain food items like garlic, onion or the smell of rice. If I used to dare to cook garlic she would be raging around and insult me for the rest of me life cause I must be stinking of garlic.

I’m no contact now but these things stick in my head.

I wonder does anyone experience something similar?

My malignant nmom was always like that. She’d send me to a psychiatrist when I was 6 years old just to prove I’m not okay (surprise: everything was alright with me) or she would try to label me disorders…
In everyday life she would accuse me of looking evil or being a evil person. These labels really did bad on my self esteem. Like she’d really try to prove I’m a ill person while I’m not (except for the childhood traumas)

Did anyone else experience that?

My parents were always saying to me that I will be taking care of them when they are older (spoiler alert: I won’t).
My sister is severely disabled and they always said she’ll be the person I’ll have to mainly take care of.

So……? They basically expect me to take care of 3 people? They even said the reason they got me was that my sis was disabled and they wanted a healthy kid to take care of them.

Me being a nurse obviously came in handy for them. But I’m nc and I’ll move to the other side of the world in the future.

Did you have similar experiences?

TIA

I went NC 3 months ago. In the meantime there was my bday, Easter and now Mother’s Day today. Life is peaceful. My mental health is getting better, I found clarity. I only wished I would have done it earlier ♥️

Hey!

I’ve been no contact with my narcissistic ex for almost 2 years. I broke nc few days ago with strict boundaries because I found something valuable to his mother and want to send it back. I know I didn’t need to but his mama was the kindest woman on earth and I’d feel bad not to return it, it’s not up to debate rn

That’s the email conversation we had after I asked him if i shall send it back to his family

He: „Yes you can, thank you for that and I’ll provide you papers to sign them off for the legacy divorce and hope you are doing good [my name], happy to hear from you.
If you will like we can meet once like as a normal friend but only if you want“

Me: „Okay I’ll send it back to your mother.
Is that still the correct address?
[adress of his family that lives abroad]
If you feel like it you can inform her about it, so she won’t be surprised“

He ignored me for days after that and I wrote him one last mail where I informed that I’m sending it back and I’ll go nc again and
He kept on ignoring me until I blocked him today

I feel like he tried to bait me with legal stuff (he has denied divorce for over 4 years now and is not cooperating) and this „let’s meet as normal friends“ and I guess he was mad I didn’t mention it?

What are your insights?

TIA

How did they react?

I’m NC for 3 months now and they have been ignoring me too (thankfully) but I think it’s because I’m still living very close to them and they somewhat think to still have control over me.

Now what they don’t know: I’m planning to move literally across the globe once I finished my degree. >10.000km distance from them.

I fear they might go mad and controlling about it. I won’t be able to hide that I’m moving in the future due to my landlady being nmoms close friend.

Thankfully they don’t know that I have connections to this particular country.

How did your narc react when you moved across the country/continent/globe?

TIA
