I reread and I can understand that take. I reread them, and I don't want to appear disingenuous, so I won't edit or delete. I think there are things you can indulge and things you can't with delusions. I believe there's a way of "picking battles." I also know that it sounds anecdotal and dumb, but I swear it's worked for me and my life has been better for this more emotional reading of life.It sounds like you are advocating for encouraging Robyn’s delusions on one post, and calling people morons for doing so in the second.
I think prescribing equipment she doesn't need makes the lives of others worse.I really don’t think it helps Robyn face her life by either prescribing equipment for Luna that has no value, or agreeing that Luna is picking out her own outfits.
Lol no. I would have zero return clients.I’m no therapist and maybe you are
I appreciate being given a concrete example. You've given me a clearcut example of how I can be a better person, and I appreciate that. I really hope you don't think I'm being sarcastic because it's Kiwi Farms., but it seems like reminding somebody of the truth is always the best way. A sympathetic, “no, I’m sorry, Luna will never hear, I can’t prescribe that” is no different from a sympathetic “Robyn, you picked a cute outfit and I’m sure If Luna had the capacity she’d love it.” Both reminds her of the truth of the situation. Being deluded into believing Luna is mentally normal is not helpful in any circumstance.
You're right. He does deserve better. The terror of breaking a person is enough to make people who think they're good tell lies, I guess.There are many mothers who understand the conditions of their child without delusion, no reason to think Robyn couldn’t get there -again, as she was when preparing for hospice. Something broke and needs to be fixed for Atlas’ sake.
I think anyone smarter than Robyn would be capitalizing off this much more, but because Robyn is dumb as a box of rocks, the best she can do is IG and Healy. A dumb sociopath, but a sociopath nonetheless.One thing I've learnt tard-wrangling the worse of the worst is that it can be very easy to give a parent false hope that they cling to and grow into an entire narrative. And that makes sense no one wants to know their child is becoming an adult that will never grow more then infancy in terms of abilities.
Thing with Robyn is I don't think shes delusional she really to me has some very sociopathic tendencies. She seems to have realized that Luna is a viable income and Luna and all the services she gets a means to the end to give Robyn money and internet "fame."
She even has turned her miscarraige all into a way to obtain more people for Healy.
That's what I find so terrifying about women becoming potato farmers/ disabled child warrior moms. Even when the potato dies they stay stuck in the same narcasstic delusional patterns. Gwen is my go-to example because she's the one I first noticed it with but it's been 4, almost 5 years since Lola died and she still posts about how much she misses them and rehashes old content, sometimes leaking stuff she wouldn't post before, Every. Single. Day. It's insanity. She's not the only one. It seems once you enter that space of getting attention and asspats while wallowing in your own delusions and self-martyring in imaginary battles for your spud, it's over, you never fully leave.Something broke and needs to be fixed for Atlas’ sake.
Is it me being stoned and dumb, or is that actually one swing repeated three times rather than three swings in sequence? Could she not even get three seconds of footage without Buna visibly seizing or something?Robyn IG:
It's a boomerang on Instagram. They're terrible.Is it me being stoned and dumb, or is that actually one swing repeated three times rather than three swings in sequence? Could she not even get three seconds of footage without Buna visibly seizing or something?
"my perceptive"
Hard agree. While I honestly appreciate the Dud/Barbarella discussion for what it means for the rest of us semi-normal people, we ought to remember how performative this could all be in Robyn's case. I hope I'm wrong but for all we know none of this is cope, none of it's delusion, it's just a storyline, and she utterly ignores Luna when the cameras aren't rolling.One thing I've learnt tard-wrangling the worse of the worst is that it can be very easy to give a parent false hope that they cling to and grow into an entire narrative. And that makes sense no one wants to know their child is becoming an adult that will never grow more then infancy in terms of abilities.

Thank you for bring this up. I too, have been wondering about why she hasn't spoken up more about the miscarriage. She loves to talk about about any detail in their lives and her epic mama birthing Goddess self. Shes been oddly silent about her ordeal and as you said, one would think she would be posting a series of woo, natural, holistic remedies on healing up from her miscarriage. Maybe share some recipies and herbal tonics to help balance hormones, recover blood, strengthen and tone the uterus... but theres been nothing.I think I saw a brief mention a few pages ago about this but it was a quick thought among a different topic, but I can't help but think that Robyn is too much of a narc to even consider that she needs to hang up her baby making agenda for good. One potato, one miscarriage, one healthy but neglected one. She's hitting the age where getting pregnant gets more difficult and the chances of birth defects rise. What is she going to do be pushing 40 still trying to get the family she had a vision of on the spiritual plane? With no medical oversight?
Also why does it feel like this miscarriage was just an IG show? It wasn't a girl, they announced on Christmas (or New Years, can't remember), she was barely a few weeks along, she showed her gunt as a baby bump and her posts just felt off. I saw one where she was working out to be fit for childbirth and thought something was just off and she was going to announce the pregnancy was over. Then bam, it was done. No mention of the details she loves discussing so much. We know the state of her snatch for childbirth and every other detail that absolutely doesn't need to be made public but she loses a pregnancy and silence. No foods to help with the blood loss or feelings about it. No morning mediation for her womb to be magically healed. No thoughts of this soul being rejected back into whatever she thinks happens when we aren't born. Just some plant babble.
Shut up Glenn, you’re not smarter than anyone. Having random stoned thoughts does not make you a fucking doctor. Can’t stand this dickheads arrogance, give me hats.
What is the point? Why is it anyone's job to "help Robyn face her life"? She is dumb and deluded*, and she copes in unhealthy ways...but wtf could be healthy mentally knowing you did that to your child. If she didn't have her delusions, I don't know how she'd get out of bed in the morning.It sounds like you are advocating for encouraging Robyn’s delusions on one post, and calling people morons for doing so in the second.
I really don’t think it helps Robyn face her life by either prescribing equipment for Luna that has no value, or agreeing that Luna is picking out her own outfits.

I'm not totally opposed to having children in ones late 30s, provided that they are physically fit
That's the thing, narcissists completely lack that instinct as well as the ability to truly love their kids. The children of a narcissist are just objects that exist to give the narc narcissistic supply. If they can't do that, they can drop dead for all the narc cares.My kids are young adults and even now, seeing them struggle or in pain for anything still turns me inside out. It makes me want to scoop them up, fix everything, and protect them forever, the way I could "make everything better" when they were babies. It's visceral, and it runs so deep that it requires an active, intentional compartmentalization. If I were Robyn with a child like Luna, especially if my decisions created her condition, I don't know if I'd make it through each day without a huge dose of delusion, and/or a handful of pills to get me through the day.

I also agree with you on maybe she should call it quits with trying for a third. I'm not totally opposed to having children in ones late 30s, provided that they are physically fit, (shes not, shes Queen frump) and that one takes great care to go to professional medical care for all of the pregnancy check ups and screenings that are possible. Ultrasounds at least every 4 weeks, natal blood testing for chromosomal and trisomy defects, and amnio test if anything at all comes up abnormal. We all know she absolutely would not do any sort of screening so her trying to conceive is like playing Russian roulette at her age.
You my friend are stuck in a shit situation a lot of people also deal with, trying to be an adult but also caring for aging parents is a thing a lot of us never knew we would be stuck with and it’s a bummer.My mom was in her late 30s when she had me (I turned out....'fine'...) but I will say that as a struggling late 20s adult with not many assests and barely any money, it is incredibly inconvenient thaty parents are getting older and especially my mom needing more help with her physical issues...it is really stressful to not feel like I have grown up into a real adult yet while also seeing my parents age into needing support I have no fathomable means of providing. They stole my childhood with shitty upbringing and I feel that my adulthood is on the verge of being stolen via stepping in to care for aging parents way too young. It's mostly water under the bridge now as far as forgiving them for my childhood, and I care too much to just say 'not my problem' so don't tell me to leave it alone please. My ex has parents even older- 40s when they had him and they do pretty well but his mom has broken her hip and arm etc needed help a lot while he was in his 20s/early 30s in a way it feels almost unfair to expect from someone trying to find their own place in the world still
Hence why I said, if the previous screening show something abnormal.Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling can cause miscarriage or infection, so these tests may be not worth doing, depending on whether the mother would abort a disabled baby, or whether anything can be done to help the conditions being screened.
I suspect she is actually a bit ashamed of this miscarriage because with only 1/3 of her children healthy and alive, she's not doing well as this fertility goddess she imagines herself to be.
