With #MatthewMcconaughey talking about it on #HowardStern, and apparently #JennetteMcCurdy (#iCarly) weighing in again having written the book "I'm Glad My Mom Died", I see people once again talking about going #NoContact, #LowContact, or #GreyRock with #parents, as in, shutting them out of your life and avoiding ever speaking to them again.

If that doesn't sound like a thing you'd ever want to do, you probably had an actual relationship with both your parents beyond #abuse.

I'm glad you did, but we didn't.

For some, it's a long and painful process, which becomes liberating at the end, as we cut a source of lasting pain and ongoing harm out of our lives. For others, it's as easy as just not calling on the phone, because understand this: a lot of #AbusiveParents don't care.

And that's something to remember here too: if you think this is hurtful to the parent, maybe it is, and that returned-hurt can even be part of healing. But for the majority? It doesn't hurt them, because they don't actually care.

So did whoever came up with #Lolth have a mother or other prominent female figure in their life that was highly NPD and abusive?

Because as an abuse survivor, reading her m.o. has me squinting and going "This is damn familiar behaviour and relationship dynamics..."
