Ugh, Family Stress
Family & Caregivers / by holly1983

...See more My dad's mentally unstable (maybe a narcissist). He emotionally abused my mom. He may have verbally abused my brother. He's very controlling and needy. I'm at my grandma's until November. He responded to that decision by becoming needy and texting me everyday. He purposely sent a text out in our family group-chat to try and make me jealous and homesick. I talked to my mom a little about it. She mentioned something about how he likes to play mind games. My mom took his side bc he's doing OK with her now. She sent me a text with stuff like "get a better perspective on your dad. he's bossy and controlling, but he means well and he loves you." So that's my current situation. I'm trying desperately to keep the peace for the sake of my sister's wedding in November. I'm job-hunting (my current job ends this weekend), saving up for a car and am working on becoming more independent financially, et cetera.
