Circumstances as they are with my wife and I, I will only say that we've been "travelling" when in reality, we actually were traveling, but were supposed to be home 10 months ago... Thanks, covid.
Anyway, just got off the phone with the dad. He gets 100% of his information from FB and msm... I was called a conspiracy theorist for asking questions, that's it, just asking questions... Asking questions makes me a fascist, qanon believing, conspiracy theorist, apparently. I even played dumb, which was only about a 50% effort, and said that I have no idea what's happening back there and just wanted his perspective.. Same as 5 years ago. Hates Trump, hates having his accepted narrative questioned.
I would like to have my dad back, so this day of reckoning for the msm and peel back of their manipulative psyop campaign cannot come soon enough.
Do you have resources you can recommend? My husband is going through a hard time with this. He read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and it was helpful but he's looking for more guidance.
No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover is a really good one.
Thank you my fren! I'll look into it!
Not trying to be cute here, but following the example of Jesus is the only way to true peace of mind. Jesus told us to forgive people who don't deserve it because they lack self-awareness and aren't capable of seeing the harm they are causing. Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Forgive them sure, but cut them out completely.
we think his mother has been poisoning people (munchausen by proxy) and have a child on the way. Jesus might take the cup of poison but I'm not sure he'd expose his child to it.
I never said you have to have a relationship with them. You should cut all people out of your life who are unwilling to repent
Wow. Congratulations on your freedom and on making your own a family. You sound like you have been gifted with a lot of insight and clarity.
My husband's parents do more with gaslighting, manipulation, spying, and unfortunately we now think poisoning (munchausen by proxy). It's horrible enough that my husband can't stand being in a relationship with them but all deniable enough that he's worried it's all in his head and is guilty when avoiding them. Our first child is on the way. Hopefully he will find the clarity you found and learn what to do about his relationship with them.
As hard as it is, do the right thing for the sake of your children. Munchausen by proxy could kill them.
Unfortunately we don't have any concrete evidence, just a lot of suspicion. My husband is torn apart by the guilt that he could be wrong. I don't think he's wrong but I can't imagine how hard it must be if it's your own parents you suspect.
Thank you my fren. Yes, his parents seem to have munchausen in addition to munchausen by proxy. Every year like clockwork his mother was in the hospital right when it was time for finals so it would be hard for him to succeed academically. So he's used to their medical manipulations.
He just needs to find some evidence that he can be content with it's not all in his head. His parents have gaslit him his whole life and he questions himself a lot when it comes to them.
