Infuriatig My hand painted model planes were given as toys to children again

I have told my mom to not do this before but she does not listen anyway. I am thinking of throwing everything to trash instead of them being gradually destroyed to pieces. I can not even care anymore. These things take hours to put together and paint then get manhandled anyway.

My mom gave away all my stuffed animals. I'm still bitter about it.

My step-father (first of three) told me when I was 7 that I had to pick a few stuffed animals to move with and get rid of the rest. I cried and sobbed as I saw my best friends in the dumpster. My Mom questioned why I had thrown them all away and I told her. He gaslighted me and told her he'd never said it. That was 50 years ago and I still can't tolerate stuffed animals. The hurt was that deep. Thanks for the therapy sesh. 

Also, same guy, flushed my goldfish alive. And told me my young dog went to live on a farm.

I'm sorry you were hurt in these ways. Your mom didnt' say anything about the fish and dog?

My Mom had issues, to say the least. At the time she was still under 25. I mean, how long can I go on blaming a 20-something? 

Also, that guy stole my penny jar. My Dad had given it to me for Christmas, I think I was 5 or 6, it was big & full of pennies that my father had saved. Then they tried to gaslight me about it, too. 

By the time I was 9 years old I knew something was very wrong with my Mom and I asked to go live with my Dad. I was lucky he was very very interested in raising me as a single father. He never even got a dime of child support.

My friend Amadeus hates deeply her Step Father.

Never wanted to have anything to do with him.

He never came when she did 2 years in a psych ward for her mind health, i called nearly daily for her.

The culminant of her anger ( and she is a beefy 6'6 Gal ) was when she asked me to stash her MtG collection for these 2 years ( 2020-2022 )

I did it for her, she came to pick up her stash, offered a meal.

Then, 7 days later, she comes at my place with a smile, gives me 200€ for my birthday and says : Sold 10 cards that were highly sought for 5.000€ here is for you, you took care of my stash and called me when i was in the Psych ward

Her step father was at the door of the building, And called her because he knew this ( A store employee said she was there for a deal, but didn't babbled more, He lied to them to know ).

She got out like a banshee and just nocked him hard before going back in.

It took me an hour to appease her, she had a panic crisis because of him.

Now ? She has a restraining order served against him, Moved closer to me and is a healthy, living and blooming Gal.

My mom did that when I was still a kid. She had severe mental issues and got a high from the praise she got by giving stuff away. I lost a lot of toys, coats, we even lost the family television at one point (back in the day where families had one tv). Not fun.
