In today’s story, Reddit userNo_Situation_9708, tells us how extremely bizarrely his girlfriend acted and how her actions ended their relationship. She always wanted children but they never really planned for it; however, when she got pregnant, they were happy and started planning.
They rushed forward to share the happy news with their friends andfamily, but unfortunately, she miscarried at around 9 weeks, which was extremely upsetting for her. Being the good samaritan that he is, our poster tried his best to make her feel better, but the poor fellow was completely oblivious to the truth.
For shortly, he found pennyroyal and mugwort in a drawer and confronted her about it, as these herbs are a homemade remedy used to induce a miscarriage. After much denial, she finally confessed that she had indeed used them to miscarry, but refused to tell him the reason why or even discuss it further.
However, this didn’t stop her from telling her family andfriendsthat she had miscarried and receiving condolences from them, leaving our poster questioning everything. In an update, he told us that he finally got sick of it and demanded she tell him the reason or he might just end things.
Well, after a lot of crying, she revealed that she had done it to get attention from her family, something she had never gotten before. This statement left the guy in complete shock as he didn’t know how to react.
Astudyon the effects of early childhood deprivation found that kids who didn’t get enough attention were more likely to have poor executive function and self-regulation. This study also found that early neglect negatively impacted a child’s brain development.
It has also beenobservedthat a lack of attention can have a negative effect on teenagers. They may feel neglected and unsupported, which can lead to mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. It really makes you wonder whether this caused her actions, doesn’t it?
No matter how brutal the first part sounded, our guy was not even ready to hear what went down next. When he asked her why she didn’t get it done medically, but opted for herbs that might harm her, she replied that she wanted to “have the experience of having an actual miscarriage.”
According toHealthline, “People who are emotionally neglected as children grow up to be adults who must deal with the consequences. Because their emotional needs weren’t validated as children, they may not know how to deal with their emotions when they occur.”
Many folks wondered whether the lack of attention from her parents was the reason behind such behavior. Someone also commented that they came from a similar background and knew how deeply negligence from parents could impact a person’smental health. OP also felt that she needed help, as many Redditors pointed out, and she agreed to go to therapy.
However, he first took her to see a doctor, as netizens pointed out that theherbs are harmful, but luckily the doctor found out that she wasn’t harmed. After this, the woman went back on her word and refused to go to therapy claiming she would never again do what she did, and our poster was slowly losing his patience.
Later, he found out from her parents that she had harmed herself physically, and fortunately, she was fine but still in the hospital. Many people suggested that the poster should definitely tell herparentsas that was the only way to treat her and she needed help really badly. Well, he did end up telling them about it, and surprisingly for him, they believed him.
Folks narrated that ending things was probably the right solution, and they agreed unanimously that she really needed help
