I'm off my head during a panic attack

I went to a rather snooty grammar school and made a new best friend who I invited to tea. She told me she had never before met anyone whose house was joined on to another house!

“Isn't she pretty in an ugly sort of way” said by a barman to my boyfriend back in the 1970s. shock

Said by a lad in a 70's disco - your hands are really rough, are you a bricky? I had very bad eczema.

I wasn’t at all bothered at being one of three or four children removed gently and kindly from a primary school class entry to a school singing competition. A very shy child I remember feeling relieved. All was well until I overheard my grandfather comment to my Mum that he wasn’t surprised as I sounded like a rusty saw. I’ve not attempted to sing a note in public since, I am however very good at miming.

The most hurtful things were all said by my mother, because she always had to be better than anyone else. I followed that up by marrying a man who loved to run me down. I understand now why they were like this but the damage has been done.

I rue the day you were born.
From my narcissistic Mother.

An aunt dropped in on a short visit at the same time as I got home from school. I don't know how tne subject came up but mum said to my aunt ...... No matter what you'd pit on her she still looks like nothing. I was 14.

My sister wanted to go to art school. My mother said “No you don’t. You won’t like the sort of people who go there.”
Since I was already there and so was one day to be DH …there isn’t much to say about that.

I wouldn't introduce you to any of my friends you are an embarrassment.

I don't think it would be considered publishable on here. Suffice to say it was highly insulting to my femininity, intellect and appearance, all the while being forced backwards into a wall with the abuser's spittle on my face. I did call the police and the person was charged. It was frightening though, as I was working in an isolated outdoor area at the time.

I won’t bother reading it then. I probably posted my nasty remark years ago!😂

Attending my nephews wedding, I was feeling quite pleased with my choice of dress for the occasion. Until my brother-in-law commented that I looked like I was wearing a tablecloth.( well it was a kind of tartan pattern).His comment must have been overheard by the best man because during his speech he looked over at me and announced to the entire room that I looked lovely in my tablecloth! Still makes me laugh when I think about it so many years later.
