Irony.

They love tough love until some 16 year old's parents are against marijuana, then it's straight to /r/raisedByNarcissists to vent about abuse by their Nmom.

"Cluster B personality disorders don't exist. People just complain about curfew and parents not being cool with weed, because those are the only problems I had growing up, and I cherrypicked a few threads on RBN where people mentioned those problems too!"

Side note, am I the only one who feels really put off by this "N[relation]" thing? It just seems shitty to put someone in that label that all they are is an Nmom or Ndad or Nsister or whatever, when they're actually a family member who 9 times out of 10 even on that subreddit is trying their hardest.

Apparently, victims of abuse daring to complain about abuse and mentally ill parents are bothersome to this brave circlebroker. "Why are abuse victims so off-putting all of the time? Could they use language that's more comfortable to me, please?" "Also, family members can't be abusive, because they're family. Emotional abuse is A-OK as long as you put a roof over your kid's head."

I know there are crazy situations where parents molest their kids or beat their kids or something like that, and obviously those people suck, but

"I know rape-rape is a real thing, but in general, rape as a problem is over-stated. A lot of people just get drunk and regret having sex. Tough."

Even if they do like give you a curfew on weeknights or whatever redditors are moaning about. Cmon reddit you selfish assholes

"What's all of this "child abuse" stuff? The only problem I had growing up was a curfew, maybe they should try being more grateful and mature like me." smug

Personally: I have known people in real life who were driven to be suicidal before age ten by an Nparent's treatment. The Nparent told them they should feel that way, because they were fat. Circlebroke has apparently decided that because they don't know anyone with cluster B personality disorders, they don't exist. In fact, anyone claiming to have such a relative is actually just upset about curfew and wanting to smoke weed in the house, because what other problems could anyone realistically have? Furthermore, it's disgusting to see the "they're your parents, they raised you, how could you be so ungrateful?" knee-jerk reaction in circlebroke, when as anyone who knows someone who was abused knows, it's all too common in the real world. All of this "tough love" in a thread about reddit falling for "tough love" too easily. Jesus Christ. What the hell happened to circlebroke?
