How would you respond to this comment

"I only use you for what I can get from you. I only pretend to like family members for what they will give me".

I can not go NC with this person.

I find this very hurtful. I have explained it is hurtful and why. I have explained it is ungrateful and rude. Makes no difference and person usually laughs in my face.

Why can you not go NC? This would be useful to know.

Apart from that, this person clearly doesn't give a shit about you, sorry to say.

I'd respond with a "well fuck off then" and I'd go NC.
Hard to say further without more background though.

‘That makes me feel very sad for you. It must be such a lonely way to live. Thank you for telling me, I will keep it in mind’.

Are they your child?

Why can’t you go NC?

Those sound to me like attention-seeking comments, intended to be provocative, so I’d probably try not to deliver the dramatic response the person wanted.

I wouldn't respond, they would be removed from my life, whoever they are.

Smile sweetly and tell them to go fuck themselves and then don't give them anything ever again, and warn family members not to as theyve admitted to taking advantage.

I doubt a narcissist would be so honest.

"That's nice, dear."

It's attention-seeking drama, so don't feed it.

Who is this person, OP?

Who says you can’t go NC?

Fuck off...

I want a divorce.

Smile sweetly and tell them to go fuck themselves and then don't give them anything ever again, and warn family members not to as theyve admitted to taking advantage.

Fair comment but don't take the bait. Also, don't be their messenger. Unless you want to.

Advisory: they may deny saying it or say that it was you that said it. Pretty certain that's what is called gas lighting.

If this is your kid or teenager then you need to say so, otherwise you're just going to get a thread full of people telling you to go NC with them.

Why are you explaining anything to them? They obviously don’t give a shit so it’s wasted breath.

My response would depend on who it is, their age, their relationship to me, the context!

That is why she can't go no contact, that or her child, below 18.

Presumably this is your child.

I'd remove all privileges and only provide food for starters.

Depends age relationship. You teen dc very different to your dsis

Sounds like it's OP's teenager.

Why can’t you go NC?
I assume we're supposed to guess.

Well prepared to be a very lonely person as you often get out what you put in. I feel sooth for you

I'd say 'You won't be using me any more. I don't have deeply unpleasant people in my life'. Then go NC.

But I don't know who you are talking about. Whoever it is has deep problems.

...And needs some sort of wake up call/be taught a lesson. Others need to wise up and stop pandering to them.
