this is a blog meant for each and every one of us to vent about situations related to the title. i'll give a starter, because oh my FUCKING GOD
my grandma fits both the toxic and narcissistic spaces i mentioned. quick context: she sleeps and spends her whole day at the living room. it's her own choice, and she makes sure to act as if the rest of the house were intruders of that space for wanting to watch TV, doing other stuff around that might make noise even if slight, and etc., and it's been like this for years.
today, she came back from her trip w my grandpa and the first thing she said (that wasn't about the trip) after settling down was asking my mom if she could do something that was specifically handiwork.
my mom hurt, besides other things, both of her hands at a fall yesterday. she told both of my grandparents (a.k.a. her parents) about it some minutes after it happened.
then, grandma was changing channels when suddenly she goes shocked because the remote had a crack in it. guess what? that crack has been there for YEAAARSS, but she kept her accusing tone towards both of us as if it were our fault and not something that had happened so long ago that the last time i changed the tape used to hold the remote together was in JANUARY. IN FRONT OF HER. so, mom and me kept trying to tell her it had been like that since forever and that she was the only one who hadn't seen it and that it was normal since we've had that device for a good while, but she just kept with her "argument" that it must have happened during this weekend, since "it wasn't there before".
it's natural for her to not pay attention and then act as if she knew everything because she's the queen or some fuckery, and i would usually brush it off at once, but i decided to start actually countering down her words and showing no one at the house would fall for her gaslighting and changing of facts. i mean, since she's acting like the house's teenager and being the rational adult in these situations wasn't working out for me, i should go mouthing off true facts and then blame hormones as well, shouldn't i?
i think she wanted to fight off or something, maybe just ran out of arguments and wanted ignition to yell, because i said "you're not the only one who uses the remote" while leaving and she spat out that i had a hard mouth, to which my mom defended me and my grandma just harshly went "why did you say that while leaving? say it on my face!" to which i replied, and she just kept complaining something that i barely paid attention as to not stress out my poor mama even more
this was my most recent anecdote. anyone else?
