Re: Oh no you don’t

Mommy Dearest has fired off a response.

Classic narcissistic deflection.

✔ Slander me.

✔ Make me seem unstable.

✔ Gaslight.

✔ Blame me.

✔ Defend the indefensible.

✔ Play the victim.

Verbatim, no edits. Read for yourself.


Oh yes I do, Ilana. I certainly will inform my friends that the person they met this summer or this fall is going through another bout of violent loathing, reason for which I am blocking further reading of her rants.

As for the “corno-graphic” stuff you mention, I’ll be clear from my end at least, hopefully once and for all: most people I know would blame me for NOT telling what happened to me with my father, whereas you choose to accuse ME of informing you, when I thought you were old enough to hear the truth.

So, as much as it grieves me to see you taking off into the land of violent rants against me or others, I will not be answering another and most definitely letting my friends know you are out in the deep end once again, and in over your head. I really hope someone out there will have more strength and courage than I have and manage to bring you back to shore. I am not the monster you claim me to be and see no reason to expose myself to further bouts of rage that would be funny if they were not so grotesquely misdirected.

It was nice getting a glimpse of the person you can be when you’re not hell-bent on destroying a demon that lives in your mind, and is in not a reflection of me.

And if you think I enjoy shutting you out again, you are gievouslyy mistaken. Again.

(My response to her)

I’m documenting all this. Classic narcissistic abuse. You think you’re coming up with your own playbook which is the true tragedy here. You don’t even see how stereotypical you are as an abuser. Classic. This will play out beautifully in my memoir. Thanks for the memories. 

And also, no thanks for making me your psychologist before I was old enough to count. 

You need help more than I ever did. 

xx your “beloved” daughter.

    Obviously I don’t know the background to this.

    First I’m sorry you’re having a hard time.

    A few thoughts in hope they help/shed light/serve as another reassurance: It seems very odd to me. If I imagine for a moment that everything here is accurate, what’s wrong with the picture is the threat to tell friends, and treating an (apparent) perceived breakdown as something you’re doing on purpose.

    I’d like to put a favourite comforting meme here, but I don’t think it’s working.

    Text version: ELLEN RIPLEY: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

    Or: The council of Elrond demands and explanation for this bullshit.

    (These are the things I mindfully consider when in the presence of someone who has upset me)

      I’ve held back on telling my mother exactly what I thought of the way she threw me into the world by way of raising me all my life except during my teenage rebellion. Now she’s decided to end our relationship I’m free to “rant” as much as I like and to be honest? I don’t remember the last time I was able to BREATHE so freely. I’ve always tried to make myself small and take up as little space as possible and sought her approval. Now I don’t have to anymore. She said “write your stories as you see fit” but I doubt very much she was prepared the chapters of my life dealing with HER. 🔥

        That sounds sane. Get it out. Obviously doing so in public is brave and likely to meet with more hostility. I will support you as much as I’m able.

        If that sounds loaded, it’s not supposed to. I’m talking about time constraints etc.

        I need to finish writing my biography and publish it ASAP. The clock is ticking.
