A great marathi play is running again this month in mumbai, thane and navi mumbai - Punaschya Honeymoon
https://in.bookmyshow.com/plays/punaschya-honeymoon/ET00329774
tickets are cheap-ish :)
A couple revisits their honeymoon destination to get a breakthrough in the their stagnant relationship. As they reach ‘Hotel Dreamland’ the past starts merging in the present. Space-time melts and dreamlike events start unfolding in a humourous, edgy and breathtaking manner. They have to complete the past before they can dream of the future.

2023.03.29 04:42 User_3971 RCA/CCA/MHA/PSE: Skip the line! Career jobs posted within. 3-28 rollup.

CAREER EMPLOYEES! Tired of seeing all these jobs go to the street? Your chance to join the gravy train ranks is almost gone! Apply yourself, you can do it! MSS Coordinator varies by District.
New record on MM-7 mechanic jobs. USPS really out to fuck the people that are already career, they're not even trying to hide it. Also, I forgot how to count. Moved ahead a month oops - take two!

Good afternoon. Brief listing of CAREER JOBS pulled from usps.com/careers/ for your convenience.
Some jobs may be part-time regular however all listed jobs should qualify for federal benefits from day one. To save text I have only listed the location and date of posting for each. Use the posting number for your search term. LC and MM are entry-level Maintenance. Here is a testimonial from a recent convert, prima1981.

NOTE: USPS NEVER charges a fee for entrance exams. If payment is requested during the application process, walk the fuck away, go to usps.com/careers/ and APPLY THERE. We even has a video walkthrough prepared.

No experience necessary for the laborer custodial or maintenance mechanic positions. It helps on the interview but you can surely think of maintenance related experience to relay for an interview. Based on fixing things around your house, the car etc. Always mention working safely.

Pro tip: You can apply for any job that has an exam opening and the test is administered local to yourself. Make sure you're serious and score decently; you can turn down the job offer. Keep a physical copy of your exam score, I believe they are good for two years.
The reason is: These job postings can be posted externally at capacity for testing, meaning they will not allow you to take the exam if they have enough qualified applicants. However, if you have a test score on the books, you are a qualified applicant.

Explanation of MVO/TTO to save time:
MVO= CDL B Can only drive box trucks on public roads, can drive anything for moves on postal property.
TTO= CDL A Can drive anything.

USPS provides the training. (Maintenance jobs at least. TTO and management...GOOD LUCK)

You don't have to be crazy to work here. We'll train you. Everything but proper email usage.

2023.03.29 04:40 FlyingSaucer51 I seriously blame Disney and romantic movies…SERIOUSLY.

My ex moved to the United States from England when she was only 8 years old.
Before moving to America, she was already being emotionally and sexually abused.
Once they moved to the USA they bought a crappy motel just outside of Orlando and Disney World.
She was basically used as a slave to take care of ALL the rooms in the motel as a maid. So, at 8 years of age she began picking up used condoms and drug needles to dispose of them. Cleaning rooms. Doing the laundry. Etc. Anything they could MAKE her do outside of school hours was fair game.
Her mother was the most abusive (even sexually) and her father was so afraid of his wife that he hid all the time.
When her mom hit menopause she LOST her mind. She yelled. Punched. Threw things.
My ex watched her mom strap two cinderblocks to her legs, say goodbye to her, and jump in the motel pool to drown herself.
My ex screamed and screamed and strangers jumped in to save her mom. Her mom NEVER received any psychological care…EVER.
To escape this hell my ex joined every possible extracurricular activity. Band. Dance. Flag team. Etc. This meant that she and her classmates would frequently perform at Disney World. All the time!
So, Disney became her escape. Disney became her savior. It was SAFE in the park. There was order in the park. Nobody was angry in the park. It was heaven.
My ex was fed a steady diet of Disney UNTIL her parents moved them out of Florida to a new motel in the mountains of NC.
Disney remained her world. The Lion King and The Little Mermaid were her archetypes.
Fast forward to 2018 when my ex decided we needed to move from NC to CA for a career opportunity for her near, you guessed it, Disneyland!
Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a healthy dose of fantasy. But, for 3 years she insisted we each purchase a $1,480.00 “signature pass” so we could enter Disney all year long!
So began a 3 or 4 day visit to Disneyland EVERY week. Sometimes, on weekends, for a full day. On weekdays, popping in after work or for a themed dinner.
She would revert to an 8 year old in the park. At first, I thought she was just a kid at heart. It was cute. It was endearing. I sort of loved her playful nature.
More and more she would BEG me for candy apples, churros, etc.
She had her DOCTORATE and a six-figure job and was begging me…”Please…please…please…can I get a candy apple that looks like Olaf!” This became odd.
During the pandemic the park closed! All the cast-members (employees) were furloughed. Things became grim and her “happy place” was gone.
We CONSTANTLY had Disney and Pixar movies on the TV. We watched animated classics ALL the time. She played Disney songs in our bedroom (instrumental) to get to sleep.
She ordered a custom made Snow White dress that was the quality of a park outfit for $1,200.00.
Amazon orders of Disney Pop figures arrived almost every few days. There was the Ursula candle wax warmer, the princess figures, the plushes, etc.
She NEEDED a fairytale.
COVID shattered that fairytale as, between us both, we lost a total of 8 people in 2 years.
She withdrew. I felt it. I tried to talk with her but she always deflected. She lied and said she was happy. Everything was fine. Don’t worry. Etc.
My career shut down. She designed video games remotely. Because I wasn’t working I took on 100% of the household work. All cooking, laundry, shopping, dishes, cleaning, pet care, repairs, etc. EVERYTHING! I also created a huge art portfolio of pieces to sell. It was exhausting.
When she was done with her work day she wanted cartoons, Netflix, old comedies, etc. I would run her foot baths. I gave her manicures and pedicures. Endless foot and back rubs. I dyed her hair for her. Cut her hair. EVERYTHING! Being English, I carried her cups of tea throughout the day.
I BECAME A SLAVE and FELT IT WAS JUSTIFIED as I was unemployed. I hated myself. I wanted to please her.
I became so depressed and anxious that I talked to my doctor and he put me on an antidepressant. I reacted poorly and became severely depressed.
I confided in my wife I had scary thoughts of suicidal ideation. She never gave me a loving word. No hugs. No kisses. No concern. She just ignored me.
Then she had me go out for the day and I came home to an empty house. Everything gone. My cat gone. Bank accounts wiped out. Stocks transferred. Police knocking on the door telling me I was accused of Domestic Violence! Lies. Smear campaign. Court dates. Divorce papers.
To prove to the courthouse how scared she was of me, she even showed up with Rent-A-Cops flanking her sides!
It was all the show! I was the villain in her fairytale now! I was once her prince, and now I was the evil character in her narrative.
Believe it or not, this is the very short version of the story. The most condensed version I can muster. One day, I truly thought I might write a book. The problem is, she could probably sue me for even doing that. Things are still terrible.
So, now, she’s moved on with her six-figure career. She’s cost me tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend my honor. Even though I won, all that money is gone.
Her lies damaged my friendships and my career. I’m constantly searching for work now. I’ve gone from living in an incredible apartment in Los Angeles to living in a gentleman’s house renting a 10 x 10’ room and can barely afford to eat. I’m all alone. The betrayal is something that’s hard to get over.
I now see a psychologist, a psychiatrist, I’m on medication, and deal with constant dark thoughts. I’ve been trying to deal with this abandonment PTSD for a long time. I’ve made progress, but every day is still a struggle.
Yes, I blame Disney. I blame romantic comedies that show the world as a perfect place. I blame Hollywood for the false imagery of what a marriage actually is. These are expectation no real person can live up to. Unfortunately, many women buy into these falsehoods, and hold men to those standards.
When reality becomes messy, they feel like everything has fallen apart. There must be a TRUE prince still waiting out there!
I’m not trying to sound sexist, I’m sure there are men who feel the same way, but in my experience, Disney was a major part of our downfall. The “Hollywood” version is impossible to live up to. I tried for 15 years.

This shouldn't even count against my AR when I declined (it did). I'm just bitching, but this is the kind of shit that comes my way more often than not. I'm genuinely curious if some of these folks believe that we get the full fee DD charges them or we somehow make more money or they simply don't respect the convenience we're providing them (or IDFK). Something's gotta give, sometime. Thanks for coming to my ted talk, hope ya'll are getting paid and paid well.

2023.03.28 23:58 Old_Stable7929 JNMIL doesn’t respect my boundaries

That’s it. I am sick and tired of her and so is my husband. She is a narcissistic woman that is always the victim. Last September I had to stay in the hospital for preeclampsia and I specifically told her I didn’t want any visitors, and she kept insisting that she needed to bring me smt and we ended up telling her that I could only have my husband due to hospital rules. That did not stop her, she kept insisting and my husband agreed to meet her in the parking lot to grab whatever she brought.
Fast forward for now, 6m after my baby was born. She constantly send me messages saying she can just come to get the baby so I can sleep (my son sleeps 12h a night and have long naps during the day and I don’t trust her with my child), she tried to force visits even after I told her that it was giving me anxiety everytime she said she wanted to stop by and that I didn’t want visitors. I am pregnant so I asked her 3 times to watch my son at our house while we went to the appointment and she is just to much. Everytime we see her she is the only one that talks, everything is about her and I have to write down my son’s schedule because she won’t listen to any of us, and she is LOUD. My son is always overstimulated by her visits that are only 2h. I told her I did not want to entertain, it was only for her to watch him and leave and last time she stayed longer and it was super stressful, she says “oh tell me when you want me to leave” and I just hate that and also clearly told her to leave shortly after we arrive.
The last straw was last week, we have a family group chat and honestly smts I won’t respond because I don’t want to deal with her and I told her that smts I don’t want to talk so I stay a while without answering. She send us a message and neither my husband or I responded and less than 24h she TAGGED us in a different message to make sure we saw the notification and answered her. I left the group and she started messaging my husband asking if I was ok and he told her to leave me alone but she didn’t. She send me messages every other day and I did not answer. So she send me huge text messages asking about my son and also told my husband I haven’t answered her and she wants an update if I am ok.
So I sent her a message explaining that I told her before I don’t wanna talk to people smts and even knowing that she tagged us in the chat to force a response and I didn’t like it. I told her that she can ask my husband (he hates talking to her) about our son and get updates and I asked her to respect my boundaries and leave me alone. I also told her I was not gonna see her messages if she tried to contact me.
She did send me messages saying she never expected a fast answer (she told my husband I was not answering her so I think she was expecting me to talk to her) and she cared about me, she didn’t want to upset me and bla bla and she would respect my boundaries.
3hours later she sent a 👍🏼 on the chat because I didn’t say anything so she is clearly not respecting my boundaries. My husband wants to talk to her about her behavior and go NC if she doesn’t stop. I decided if she doesn’t stop I will tell her she is not respecting me and I will block her.
I am just tired of her

2023.03.28 23:23 ady_fan_forever AITA for not giving toys to my friend and her toddler anymore?

I (21F) live alone with my dog. I have a friend, Rita (30F), who has a toddler, Sam.
I don’t know her very well, I met her at work when she was pregnant with her baby and she didn’t know anyone in the city. I’ve been helping her with numerous things throughout the pregnancy and even after Sam was born. I didn’t mind it because I like Sam and I know how good it feels to receive help without strings attached. Everything went good until about a week ago.
The reason I mentioned my dog in the beginning is that my dog has a lot of toys like plushies, ropes, balls, etc..I told her, she’s free to take anything Sam likes because my dog doesn’t really play with his toys aside from one worn out rope and one squeaky ball. I told her she can’t take those 2 because those are the only things my dog genuinely likes (keep in mind, he has over 20 toys in the apartment so it’s not like I kept the good ones for my dog or anything).
Well, 5 days ago, Rita came over and I ended up babysitting Sam again. I’ve been doing it for free once or twice every week but I like Sam even if he’s a bit spoiled and sometimes throws temper tantrums but he’s a toddler so I don’t really mind it. Anyway, I noticed he kept playing with that one ball my dog is so fond of. I didn’t say anything, I just kept watching him so I know where to look for it when my dog wants to play next time. Rita came back 3 hours later, stayed for dinner and not long after that, they left. I gifted Sam 4 other toys I saw him playing with, though. My dog gets them from my parents even though he barely plays with anything so I would have giving them away regardless..
The next day, I wanted to go to the park with my dog and started looking for the ball he loves. I couldn’t find it anywhere even though I checked every room out in the apartment. I messaged Rita and asked if maybe Sam took it perhaps and if yes, could she just bring it to work the next day. She replied that she doesn’t know what ball I’m talking about. I didn’t want to accuse her of anything unless I have evidence that she was the one who took it so I said OK and see you later.
Here comes the part where I might be the AH. Two days ago, I was supposed to babysit Sam again but now, I asked Rita to let me babysit at her house and not mine. She didn’t think anything of it, it happened many times before so there was no problem. I went to hers and she went out. I was babysitting Sam for 3 hours again and in the meantime, I checked out the toy basket Sam has to see if the ball is there. Well, it was there. I let Sam play with it and waited for Rita to come home so I can ask her if she took it (at that point, it was obvious but I still wanted to give her a chance to explain herself).
She came back and I asked her if she took it. She said, yes. I asked her why when I specifically asked her not to take those 2 toys my dog loves. She said ‘I shouldn’t spoil my dog so much’ and that ‘Sam would have been sad if she didn’t take it for him’. I calmly reminded her that I’ve been giving her toys for free for the past 2 and a half years and I kept babysitting for her also for free so I didn’t think my dog was the one who is spoiled. She started screaming at me and saying I was loving my d*mn dog more than a human baby and that I was heartless to keep it from him.
I was shocked because I’ve never seen her so unhinged and pissed. I suggested that she should buy an identical ball from the shop I bought this one from and even gave her the name so there will be no problems with Sam. She started to complain how she doesn’t have any money to buy him toys and that I should just give this to her because Sam is more important than an animal.
At that point, I had enough and lost my sh!t. I raised my voice and said she should be grateful for all the toys, groceries and free babysitting throughout the years. I admit, I never wanted to remind her of this but I didn’t understand why was it so hard for her to take ‘no’ as an answer. She kept calling me heartless and a b!tch for choosing a dirty animal over a child and that I should be ashamed of myself.. I didn’t want to listen to her anymore so I got up, told her to stop calling me or expecting anything from me again and left.
I’ve been receiving texts and messages from her family and even a few of our colleagues these 2 days saying I’m heartless for not helping out a single mom and giving them the toys. I admit, fighting over a ball that cost 4$ is childish but given the circumstances, I don’t think it was an unreasonable request especially since I’ve been giving her and Sam numerous toys throughout the years. I even bought him toys for Christmas, B-days, etc.. so Sam got normal toys as well, not just dog toys..
So AITA for not giving her the ball?
Time for an edit: Thank you for all the advices and good wishes, I blocked her and her family for now. Half of my colleagues know what’s up, turns out she told them a different story. She only told them that I completely refuse to help her and that I spoke badly about her. I’m going back to work on Friday and see if she keeps up this facade. If things won’t settle, I’m going to the HR and report her for harassment. I also went NC with her, needless to say I won’t do anything for her from now on! Thanks again for everyone, I will make sure to be back on Friday to update y’all!:)

2023.03.28 21:12 Terrible-Compote My Long Road to NC, Part III: Setting Boundaries, Building Barriers

I continued trying to have some kind of contact with my mom. I gave her the ultimatum that to be in my son’s life, she had to get professional help and be sober for some length of time. She said she would never go to therapy, but she would try meetings. We met up for lunch every so often, usually at a diner near her home, and it was awkward but mostly low-drama. My wife and son remained off the table until she could give me reason to trust her.
And every time we met up in person, she was back to drunk-calling me in less than two weeks.
Tuesday, November 29th, 2016
My mother calls me, drunk, late at night. When I remind her of the “no phone calls after 5” boundary (which we’ve discussed very recently during our last visit), she says “but that was ages ago!”
From me:
When we last had lunch—twelve days ago, not "ages ago"—I told you what I needed to be able to trust you. You just trampled all over that. So one of three things must be true: A) you were drunk when you called me just now, B) you're experiencing cognitive decline such that you don't remember a very recent, supposedly important conversation, or C) you weren't really paying attention during that conversation, just yes-mabeling me so you could get access to my son, because you still don't see me as fully human or give a shit about me except in that it hurts your ego when we're not in touch and you don't have baby pictures to show off.
If it's B, please tell your doctor what's going on. But my money is on C, given that every time I try to give you a chance, you end up hurting me.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you really don't remember, this is what I said:
1) I have spent way too much of my life trying to figure out whether you were drunk or not, lying to me or not. I'm done with that. Don't give me reason to wonder, and I'll assume you're acting in good faith. This means not calling me in the evening, not drunk-calling people you know through me ([MIL], [friend’s mom whom she barely knows], etc.), and not being drunk at family gatherings. Basically, don't make your drinking my problem anymore, and don't make me wonder.
2) I need to know that you will respect my boundaries, even if they're inconvenient for you. That means that if I tell you I need space, give me space. Which means not calling or emailing me, not trying to get at me through [wife], and not shit-talking me to people who know us both.
I sat in your living room and said all this less than two weeks ago, and you claimed to understand when I said that these were the only conditions under which I could have any kind of relationship with you.
You never call me during the day, so calling me at night (and regardless of our history, who the hell calls someone with a fussy infant after 8PM anyway?) is a pathetically obvious power play.
IF you are really taking recovery seriously and doing the work, you will understand that it takes a long time to earn back the trust of people you've harmed with your drinking. It's not a switch that can be thrown. And you'll know that you don't have to understand or agree with someone's boundaries to respect them.
So this is it: last chance. I need some space. I'm asking you not to contact me until I'm ready. That means not calling, texting, emailing, or showing up at my home, not trying to get at me through [wife] or anyone else, not having [Narc grandma] write another of her disgustingly manipulative nastygrams to get me back in line. I'm not giving you a time frame, because I honestly have no idea how long it will be. Or you can keep pushing my boundaries and destroy any chance that I will ever trust you or want to see you again. Your choice.
From her, the next day:
[childhood nickname],
I truly apologize. It's not A, B or C. D is I thought that since I'm not drinking, the previous barriers didn't apply. Now I know better, and will give you the room you say you need, though how I can prove myself with no communication is beyond me.
When you're ready, I will bring you the photo album you wanted to see.
Love,
From me:
I literally said in so many words on Thursday that they still applied. I told you I'd give you the benefit of the doubt about not drinking—even though you've lied to me about it countless times before—as long as you didn't make me play this horrible, painful guessing game anymore, and I explicitly mentioned calling me in the evening.
You can prove yourself by leaving me be and working on yourself. By giving me space and not saying nasty things about me that you know will get back to me. By giving me a real, actual break from the emotional labor of constantly trying to figure out whether I can trust you.
Wednesday, December 21st, 2016
From her:
[childhood nickname] dear,
Just want you to know I very much wanted to send salutations to mark [misspelling of son’s name]'s 4 month milestone, but my net was down from early Friday morning until this morning.
This is a transparent (to me) attempt to frame my frustration with her as the result of unrealistic expectations. Why, she is just a poor waif who struggles with her internet connection, and I’m shunning her just because she didn’t wish my son, whose name she totally knows, a happy four-months since being born! I'm sure many of you know this tune and can hum along.
We continue to be VVLC. She tries to get both Narc grandma and my dad to intervene; my dad, to my great relief, hears me when I tell him that he needs to stay out of it and never brings her up to me again for the rest of his life.
Saturday, June 10th, 2017
From her:
I've torn my apartment apart looking for my knitting needles. Did I lend them to you?
From me, nearly a month later, because I’m not checking my email from her all that often:
I do have some, though definitely not all, of your knitting needles. I can mail them to you if you'd like. I have no idea where the rest might be.
I was beginning to feel that you were finally giving me space, that I might consider trying to re-establish some kind of conversation with you in the hope of seeing if there is a place for us in each others' lives going forward. Then I received [Narc grandma]’s latest salvo, and it's clear that nothing has changed—you are still claiming that this estrangement was out of the blue, that I never explained to you why I needed this distance, that I am doing it to punish you.
I have explained myself to you so many times. I spent countless, irretrievable hours out of the first days and weeks of my son's life trying over and over to find the perfect words that would help you understand why it hurts me to be around you, why I could no longer swallow that hurt, why I did not and do not feel like I can trust you. If you actually care to know, it's all there in black and white.
I don't know what you're doing in recovery if it does not involve any kind of self-reflection or accountability.
If we are to be in touch, I need to know that you really understand what it did to me to grow up with a mother who was drunk every night, who was utterly unpredictable. To be threatened with institutionalization when I defied you, to see you repeatedly hold a knife to your own throat and threaten to kill yourself in front of me. To know that you drove drunk with me in the car. To have you scream and swear at me, to know that you would always, always choose drinking over not hurting me. And I need to know that, in light of all that, you understand why it is difficult for me to be around you.
When you are ready to have a real, honest conversation about that, call me—during the day—and I will answer.
From her:
[my full name],
First, I did not know that [Narc grandma] had been in contact with you until your email and when I asked her later that evening. And I have told her why you felt you needed this distance, and that I've stopped drinking. Her bewilderment is not over that, but about the seemingly endless estrangement, as is mine.
There's been plenty of sell-reflection - that's what happens in the Rooms, and on my own as ell..
I have been hoping that we can find a way to move forward together; that we can put the past behind us and look toward the future. I'm still hoping for that but if you're determined that it's not to be, I will have to find a way to move forward on my own.
Still hoping.
From me:
The estrangement has been ongoing because you have not given me the space I asked for. Every time that I think that you are finally getting it and giving me that space, you email me. You have also called both me and [wife], including in the evenings, which I specifically asked you not to do. Your messages alternate between acting as if I am "banishing" you for mysterious reasons I have refused to explain (e.g. on March 8) and acting as if everything is completely normal and fine (e.g. on April 16 or June 10).
Even this email from you is more of the same: I tell you what I would need to start moving forward (an acknowledgement of your part in this estrangement), and you reframe that as me utterly refusing to entertain the idea of reconciliation.
I have no desire to rehash the past endlessly. But the unacknowledged weight of it distorts every interaction that we have had in my adult life. I am not asking for self-abasement or endless apologies. I am saying that if we are to move forward, we need to have one conversation in which you acknowledge your role in all of this without gaslighting, minimizing, or denial. I need to know that you understand the damage that your drinking has done to me and to our relationship.
I have left the door open. You know what it would take for me to be able to rebuild a relationship with you. If you decide the price of that is too steep, that is a choice you have the right to make.
No response. We are NC for a time, and then I cave again, even though I know in my gut that nothing has changed.
Thursday, August 3rd, 2017
My mother and I meet up for lunch. I speak to her with more honesty and vulnerability than I’ve ever managed to muster. Her eyes slide off me and to the side, the way you’d react to a stranger screaming obscenities on the subway. She keeps repeating that we can’t “move forward” if I won’t let her all the way back into my life, making a little walking gesture with her fingers as she says it. Outside the restaurant, she asks why I’m afraid of her, and I tell her that she’s the angriest person I’ve ever met. “Not anymore,” she says. Something in me breaks. I'm not quite done, but I'm closer to done than I've ever been.
From me, the next day:
I'm writing this out because I find it much easier to gather my thoughts and express myself clearly in text than speaking in the moment. I can also write without disturbing my son during his naps, while I can't always talk on the phone without waking him.
There are a couple of things about yesterday that give me serious misgivings. One is that you asked me, right off the bat, why on earth I would still need space. There are a few problems with this question:
1) It presupposes that everything is settled now, that since the past cannot be changed, it must be as if it never happened. This is not only impossible, but it is how things have operated between us for my whole life—you were allowed to lash out and do and say whatever you felt like in a drunken rage, and if I called you on it once you sobered up, you would not remember, and you'd act as if I was being unreasonable and oversensitive.
2) When I asked you for space before, you never actually gave me that space. During the time that I was trying to take a break, you contacted me more than a dozen times between November and July, called me, called my wife, and sent other people to tell me how unfair I was being. That is not a break. I felt cornered and hunted and was constantly looking over my shoulder.
3) While I was at your apartment yesterday, I developed a crashing stress headache, which I still have today; as soon as I got home, I had the first cold sore outbreak (a stress-related symptom) that I have had in months; and I spent the evening vomiting. I am telling you this not to blame you for my physical symptoms, which are mine to manage, but to help you understand how difficult it is for me to be around you. This has been true for years—I used to need days to recover from visiting you—but now I have a baby (whom I can't kiss right now for fear of making him ill), and I can't compromise my ability to care for him like this.
I also want to address your apology. I appreciate that you say you believe me; that's more of an acknowledgement than you’ve given me before, and I am sure that it was not easy to say. But you have to recognize that it is the bare minimum, and it is not a magic wand that heals all wounds. Saying "I don't remember doing all of what you say I did, but I'm sorry for whatever it was" is not really validating in any way; it shows vague good will but not any real understanding of the damage done.
If you don't remember all of it, do you remember any of it? Do you remember telling me it was my fault you had to drink? Blaming me for your unhappiness in general? Telling me I was wonderful one minute and telling me that I'd ruined your life the next? Because that was all normal to me. I thought it really was all my fault. I thought I was just that bad, that worthless. It was only as I contemplated becoming a parent that I realized how twisted, how damaging that is.
To make matters worse, your not remembering things has been a big part of the pain of all of this—from before the age of reason, I knew that if we had a conversation in the evening, I could not expect you to remember it in the morning. I knew that if there was an emergency in the night, I could not trust that you would wake up, much less be able to keep me safe.
You said that just as I want to protect my son, so [Narc grandma] wants to protect her daughter. What about you? Where was your protective instinct? Now that I have a child of my own, the idea of deliberately incapacitating myself while caring for him is terrifying, horrifying to me. You had to know that your drinking was a problem, and you had to know that it was damaging me, and yet you chose, again and again, not to get help. You chose the appearance of normalcy over getting healthy and being there for me.
Which brings me back to what you said yesterday about wanting to get us back to "a semblance of normalcy." That's a telling phrase. I remember many, many times in childhood, when you were screaming at me, and then the phone would ring. And you would answer it in the happiest, calmest voice imaginable. It terrified me that you could switch it on and off like that, and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me because I couldn't maintain that facade.
My whole life, I have felt like it was my job to keep your secrets. And when you would get sloppy in public, I would feel deep shame that I had somehow failed to protect you from your own actions and that people would know what was going on. One of the main feelings I remember from childhood is shame. I was ashamed of everything about myself. Even now, looking at my copies of the photos you showed me yesterday, which delighted me at first because of their resemblance to [son], just makes me feel sick and sad.
I am writing all of this because I was not able to say it to you yesterday. I get tongue-tied in the moment and talk about trivialities instead. The crux, though, is this: I have gotten healthier over these last few months than I have ever been. I feel right now as if I made a big mistake by visiting yesterday. It was not for [son]'s sake that I got back in touch with you—he will be fine no matter what. And it was definitely not for mine—I am worse off for it. It was out of a sense of obligation to you.
I was not going to send this—I wrote it down to get it out of my head, which is why it might be a bit jumbled—but I realize that the only hope there is to rebuild anything between us is if we are honest with each other.
I won't be up for another in-person visit for a while. I don't know how long. I am open to us corresponding by email—which is easier for me logistically for the reasons I mention above. I am also open to phone conversations, when we can find the time. It's up to you to decide whether that's worth the effort.
From her, nine days later, in a new thread with the subject line “Moving On?”:
[name] Dear,
I've been wracking my brain trying to respond to your last email. When you left here I was guardedly optimistic that by having lunch, hanging out (your words) we could begin to forge something positive between us. I'm heartsick that our meeting so stressed you out.
I have heard everything you've said, and acknowledge and apologize for my past behavior. As I've said, that, along with ensuring that it stays in the past, is really all I can do.
Of course it's worth the trouble to me for us to be in contact. Just hoping that it won't all be talking about what was, but trying to build what can be. Sharing thoughts, stories, experiences. I'm not nearly as good at expressing myself in writing as you are, but will try, and hope for an occasional phone conversation.
From me, the next day:
Thank you for reading what I wrote and for taking your time in responding. I really do appreciate the acknowledgement. I know it can't all be fixed in a word or overnight, nor should it be. I'm comfortable with it being a slow process and comfortable with being uncomfortable sometimes. I hope you are, too.
And I want to reassure you that I really don't want us always or only to talk about the past. The reason I wrote to you is that our meeting felt like the chance for both of us to clear the air, and with one thing and another, there was a lot I needed to say that I didn't have the presence of mind or ability to articulate in the moment.
Let's talk soon. I think this is a relatively light week for [wife], so I should be able to slip away for a phone call at some point.
We try to stay in touch for a while, kind of. I send her photos and grey-rock updates; she sends me weather reports (we live in the same city), occasional photos from my childhood, and offers of random junk she has lying around her home. My son is still off the table.
Sunday, June 19th, 2019
Less than two weeks after another in-person visit, my mother calls me, drunk, late at night.
Some time later, she sends me this:
Hey girl, just wondering how you all are. I just finished walking the [local street fair] and came home with my favorite sour pickles.
So what happened to our playdate? I remeber you saying that the 4 of us would go somewhere like the [museum] or [park]. I would love to do that.
xoxo
From me:
"So what happened to our playdate?"
Do you really not remember? Or are you pretending not to? At this point, I'm not sure which is worse.
From her:
No [my full name], I don't remember. But I assume it has to do with one of the 2 days since March 11, 2017 when I had a couple of drinks, both of which were while telling someone what is (or isn't) going on with us.
Sunday, July 7th, 2019
This is what I finally sent to my mother in response to the above:
[her full name],
I see that you're still blaming me for your bad choices and destructive behavior, as you've always done. This is the lie that poisoned my childhood and distorted my sense of self, the lie you've told me all my life. Maybe you even believe it yourself. Certainly your nightmare of a mother does. But I am an adult now, and a parent, and I no longer believe it. And you are an adult too, as you were then, and responsible for your own choices.
All I asked you to do was not call me in the evening. It's not complicated or difficult. And yet, despite knowing that it hurts me, you've done it over and over for more than a decade. Every time I've given you another chance, you do it again within two weeks. There's always an excuse or a loophole, always a reason it doesn't really count this time: it used to be that you weren't drinking on that particular night, so I wasn't allowed to be bothered by it. Now it's that this time you were, so you can't be held accountable, and it's my fault anyway.
It doesn't matter to me anymore why you keep doing this: whether it's because you actually don't remember the dozens of times we've had this conversation, or because you want to show me who's boss, or because you have a compulsion to blow things up when you're not getting what you want fast enough. Or because you never stopped drinking in the first place, and you've just been going to meetings and congratulating yourself on how much smarter you are than all the poor saps who are making themselves vulnerable and actually doing the work to get sober and healthy.
I know that you've been through some terrible things in your life. I really hope that some day you'll get tired of lying to yourself and everyone else, decide to take care of your own mental health, and get some real help.
But it's not my job to keep you sober or be your emotional dumping ground; it never was. Putting that responsibility on me from early childhood was an abuse of the natural trust and love that children have for their parents. That you still can't see that means that you are not a safe person for me or my child.
Her response, in its entirety:
Calling me [her full name] was a nice touch.
Monday, July 29th, 2019
A birthday email from my mother:
[name] dear,
First off, Happy Birthday. Hope you do something fun and manage to keep cool.
Second, is there anything I/we can do to change things? I am heartbroken, lonely, numb, and stone cold sober. I feel as though I'm just not even alive without you dear girl.
I love you.
What I wrote but did not send:
I have told you as clearly as I know how, in as many ways as I can express it, exactly what would need to change for me to trust you. Every time, you’ve chosen not to hear me and then complained that I refuse to explain myself.
Nothing has changed. You still minimize your drinking and blame me for it, hold me responsible for your emotional well being, and pretend not to understand the simplest boundary. Whether or not you are currently drinking, that is not sobriety.
Grieving an estrangement is normal. I feel that grief, too. “I feel as though I’m just not even alive without you” is not normal or healthy, and is something that needs to be addressed with a therapist.
Sunday, May 8th, 2022
Mothers’ Day message from her:
Just wishing you a Happy Mother's Day. (And wishing you would wish me a Happy Mother's Day.) Hoping you, [wife] and [my son’s name, misspelled in a different way from the last time] are well.
There has been a trickle of contact since then, including an attempt to break the news of my father’s sudden and violent death to me, a month late, last summer (I am his executor and already knew, but I know she was hoping to break the news to me). But I’ve stopped responding. I’m done.
