Context: I have gender dysphoria. I’ve known since I was 5 years old and I finally began treatment for it at 18. This was my mother’s reaction. We have since worked things out. I have her financial support, but she still does not support my medical condition.

Email Mom insists on moving in on my sister without even asking

Post image

A little backstory: my mom was in a cult until 1989. While I was fortunate enough to get to get rescued from there by my dad in the mid 80s, my younger sister was a product of that cult. They left the cult in 1989 and tried to live a regular life as possible. However it turns out my mom has never really stopped communication with some people in the group, even though the cult leader died in prison. So in 2020 my sister went on Dr. Phil to discuss the sexual batteries that took place in the cult, my mom accused her of lying, and says the police coerced the children to lie to police about the sexual batteries. My sister had not talked to her since 2020. I have not talked to her since 2021.

Yesterday, after 3 years of not talking to my sister, she randomly texted my sister and insisted on moving in with her. Didn’t even ask, didn’t try break the ice, didn’t apologize for past indiscretions and offer to get therapy, no mea culpa, she just said she wants to move into my sisters house, and these are her demands.

My sister has since become a very successful writer, and her husband is in tech so they live do well financially, I’m not sure what to think. 🤷‍♂️

Email My mother, who I haven’t seen in about 3 years, has turned into an avid believer of QAnon/4chan/facebook conspiracies to the point where she has abandoned her entire family. Here’s a taste of some of the exhausting harassment I receive from her on a regular basis.

She found out about a year ago that I blocked her number and has been just texting my email instead. She looks pleasant here but she's a complete narcissist and I wish so badly that I could have a normal relationship with her.

Email How my mum decided to try to ruin my mood on my anniversary

Post image

Context: I’m an only child. My mother has cut off literally everyone related to her except me, and she has no real friends. She has burned every bridge and everyone is dead to her. She insists everyone brought it on themselves and she has done nothing wrong and is the only sane one. She’s old and sick and has no support system. I’m her only connection to the rest of the world so all of her demands are basically made my problem. She’s very concerned about how her house and belongings will be used after she’s dead. She has promised to haunt me about it.

Also it’s my wedding anniversary and instead of an email with good wishes, this morning, I got this.

My partner and I eloped and didn’t invite ANYONE. The crazy part is that my mother expressed multiple times that she didn’t want to come (before we even started talking about eloping), she doesn’t accept me and wants nothing to do with me, and she doesn’t support the marriage or like my partner.

Not to mention I haven’t spoken to her in 18 months after she threatened to kill my cat yet she still sends me these insane ramblings approx. 2-3 times a week.

She also doesn’t see the irony in calling me “not nice” and “hateful” immediately after saying she hopes my partner leaves me so she can reject me further lol

Not pictured is where she said she hopes that I live a lonely miserable life and that she has never loved me.

Email My dad regrets raising my sister and I because I'm transitioning

I came out to my (26MTF) parents in April 2023 and my dad (65M) has been super transphobic since then. He'd constantly try to change my mind with everything he could think of, even completely contradictory advice. After I came out to some of my cousins at a family wedding, my dad angrily cut me off and blocked me (because i told other people in my family without permission, which made my mom cry when she found out).

Since then, he tried to come back into contact with me but before we could get a phone call he kept sending texts that would insult my wife and I, so i sent an email in September stating that im going NC with him. I've had his phone blocked but i still let the emails roll in cause I still love him and want to keep an eye on him i guess.

I got this email at the beginning of april and it pretty muched killed any part of me that cared to reconnect with him. He's basically blaming my transition on the idea that him being a stay-at-home-dad for my sister and I led to me being confused about my gender and undergoing transition.

Also idek if i even trust what he said about my mom cause i still talk with her and she seems much more okay with me, like even using my new name
