losingmyself

One year my Xh called DS up into his room, gave him $80 and told him to give it to me, and tell me to buy myself something nice.
I usually get nothing from current H, but a couple years ago he gave me a winter coat, one that I'm pretty sure represented his M. It was cheap, so the first year the zipper broke. I still wear it when it's really cold because it's very warm, but I literally can't wear it if it's not. He takes every opportunity to try make me feel guilty about not wearing it.

My IL's live far away. When I went out there for my wedding shower, MIL started off the trip by "generously" taking me shopping for a new dress to wear. I had brought something with me. She very clearly was trying to choose for me and make me her mini-me.

Maybe a year or two after meeting her, MIL gave me a bag of her old clothes (stuff she had literally been planning to donate to Goodwill) and asked if I wanted any of it. I said I'd look through them, out of politeness... I was still in college at the time, so there was no overlap between her style and mine, to put it mildly.

She then asked if I'd try some of the clothes on *right now* so she could see. Like I was a doll she wanted to dress up?!??! This was back in my people-pleasing days, and I'm still a little surprised how quickly I said, "No thank you!" It made me that uncomfortable.

Hattie

When my dad died, my narcissistic former colleague organised a whip-round and bought me a porcelain frog with flowers painted on it :stars:
Love is patient; love is kind.
It does not envy; it does not boast.
It is not proud. It does not dishonour others.
It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
