This is exactly ME Messy!! You my sister from another Mister

I line up my outfits in the wardrobe so I don’t have to think what I’m going to wear each day! I thought I was a bit anal but my 26yo daughter now does this so she feels organised and ready to tackle the week (she’s in her second year of practising law so has a fairly hectic schedule).
I’m not sure if my mother was a narc as I had a great childhood but she changed as we got older and it was all about her. Her memories of her own childhood suddenly changed to what we had been told by herself, cousins, aunties and her mother previously. She began citing traumatic incidents and playing victim whereas we had always been told of a happy, carefree childhood.
When I had my first baby she came to visit (lived interstate) and spent the whole time sleeping or drinking port from 4pm each afternoon. No support at all. Said she needed a holiday herself and as she had to look after us kids on her own whilst my dad was in Vietnam (fighting in a war) I should be able to handle one baby in my own. This was the first of many blow ups and estrangements.
I finally broke away and ceased contact with her and my siblings when there was a violent attack on myself and my daughter during a visit to my dad on his deathbed. No contact for 3 years now and I’ve never been happier
Sorry for the personal vent…when EL posts
tit like “she’s the key ingredient to her family and exactly what they need” it always triggers memories of that awful last day my daughter got to spend with her pop
