    You benefitted from the cheese sale, your mom’s lack of impulse control, her attempt to be nice, and, in the future, maybe from her feeling good about giving you stuff.

    Quesadilla time! Send mom a pic.

    This is actually good. She’s at least trying.

    There are a metric fuck ton of self absorbed assholes that don’t even manage to do that.

      Eh. I stopped getting upset about this after noticing how many sites deliberately make it difficult to copy and paste content from them. Screenshots are just one of the few ways to quickly get around these restrictions. Sure, there are always technical ways around it, but usually you just go with the most expedient option.

    “If I give you things, that is me expressing the love you apparently desire. Here you are.”

    It’s sad to see, but she’s trying. A lot of narcissists are like that. Transactional, kind of.

      My Narcissist dad would do the same thing. Every once in a while, he’d go way out of his way to make me happy by purchasing a shitload of something. I want to believe that he did it because he felt guilty for being a shitty dad, but deep down I know it was just a manipulation tactic to win me over so that he can maintain control.

      Unfortunately therapy didn’t work for him because he only listened to the parts he wanted to hear, and used it as a weapon against the entire family. When he died 5 years ago I was both saddened and relieved. Dude really knew how to suck all the energy out of the room.

    Imagine my surprise seeing the title, and all I can think of is Ashens saying this during a review about the Chef Excellence’s stay fresh cheese bags. Haven’t watched him in ages.
