To get my revenge

I’ll start by saying I know it’s pathetic and petty. I’ve taken the high road for so long and forgiven my dad time and time again.

I’ve gone LC after another verbal lashing and subsequent family members not allowed to talk to me or just don’t bother with me.

My dad is controlling, I had a very hard childhood and various horrid things happen to me and as a result I’ve always craved my parents love, affection, anything really.

My siblings are treated differently, they had amazing childhoods, loving parents etc. I’ve always been the black sheep and I’ve never known why.

Even though I’m the odd one, they have always relied on me financially, emotionally when they want. It’s been very very hard. I love them but as I’ve gotten older ive realised they don’t love me.

My dad was recently petty to me and quite mean and I decided no more, I went LC and have since had passive aggressive messages from my mum which I know are influenced by my dad, I just want to scream st them but I know it will do nothing. They won’t care and laugh me off as insane or needing help.

So I had an idea! I’d glitter bomb him, a proper spring actioned glitter bomb. It would piss him off and he would never guess it was me.

I have to say I would feel utter satisfaction with knowing he had to clean up glitter and not knowing who it was or why.

I know I’m unreasonable but it would feel so good.

Surely a better way of getting 'revenge' is to reclaim you life and just go completely NC with the pair of them?

Stop taking the high road. Stop forgiving them and re-engaging with them. You said yourself they don't treat you well.

Cut them off completely and stop rising to their bait.

Best revenge ever.

rather I have gone LC and it’s taken a very long time for me to just decide enough is enough.

In a perfect world that is the best revenge, it’s just so pissing annoying they won’t care.

I'd do it tbh

Do they keep reptiles? You can order frozen crickets in a parcel as food for reptiles. Just have to hope it doesn't get left somewhere warm otherwise they'd have live crickets jumping out of the parcel...

Belfield · 05/09/2019 17:27

Don't get this and I wouldn't presume they won't know its you. Moving on with your life and living it to its fullest is always the best revenge if that's what you are looking for. Have shitty parents is not great but I would focus on moving forwards.

GummyGoddess · 05/09/2019 17:29

Honestly, I'd do it. It is petty and childish but the worst that will happen is annoyance.

Stickybeaksid · 05/09/2019 17:29

Glitter bombs are for a colleague or an annoying neighbour. Not sure it’s good in this circumstances

SailorJake · 05/09/2019 17:29

I very nearly did this to my ex...I didn’t because he would know it was me. I’d do it if I were you xx

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 05/09/2019 17:32

You’re just feeding your negativity.

A far better feeling for you will be when you walk out of your last counselling session having taken the decision to end them because you are finally in a good place and no longer hung up on what your family do, say or think.

Get yourself some counselling, babe. Wink

It is petty and it is childish and I would never do it to anyone else, I just know it would be very bloody annoying for them. Even if they guess it’s me I’ll deny it. They couldn’t prove it.

I’d just feel a bit better and my sadness would be ease for a min.

It’s glitter not plague.

Yeah absolutely do it!

EileenAlanna · 05/09/2019 17:34

Go for it.

Nonotmenori · 05/09/2019 17:35

Glitter bomb? Amateur. You need to send them a gift from shit express!

I've wanted to send my boss one badly, but I'd laugh too hard and give it away😂

A very wise women once told me that "Living well is the best revenge".
Glitter will only be a short term revenge fix.
Aim for a permanent solution...end their ability to affect your life and live it your way xx

Jezebel101 · 05/09/2019 17:46

I think you should fart in the envelope, then put the glitter bomb in!

I think it's a harmless way of just having a sneaky little secret, and I think you're perfectly entitled to that private little satisfaction.

Do it! Then keep the memory in your pocket and pull it out and look at it every time you remember any of the shit you took from them growing up.

Great idea!

SunshineCake · 05/09/2019 17:46

I thought your revenge was going to be removing the financial abuse they have over you. That would be better "revenge."
