@ksub

Looking at the descriptions, they should. I started the stack on Jan 1. So far though, I can feel a calmness, detachment and equanimity that wasn’t there before. Procrastination hasn’t appeared yet. I get things done easily and I want to get things done. This is just 4 days in. I think this stack is going to be really good.
EDIT: Oh I also resumed working out. It is pretty easy to get on the bike and do cardio for 30 minutes. Which I haven’t done in a long time!

I freaking LOVE that!!!

Add in demanding, demeaning, judgmental, and hyper critical

Generally when people say “helicopter parents” they mean rescue helicopter ready to pull you out of any trouble you get in.
I sometimes say I had “attack helicopter parents” ready to launch hellfires at me at the smallest opportunity. Sounds like you had a similar experience.

[James]

I did. It’s been difficult but I seriously doubt I will talk with or see any of my biological and step family ever again.

Probably the hardest thing I have ever done

@James

Aye.

I’ve basically phased out talking to my own dad over the past couple years. He would guilt trip me if I didn’t call him daily. “I miss when we used to be close and talk about everyting blah blah”.

I remember one day in particular he called me 3x in one day, and the last one we’d said our goodnights and I went into monk mode working on things in my office/workshop.

He called yet AGAIN. “Just wanted to see what you’re up to”, and I lied and said going to bed.

It isn’t just a case of him being lonely. It’s a control/power thing. I finally just stopped and after a while he quit bugging me. We talk 2x/3x a year now for a few minutes tops.

Part of me feels like a “bad son”…and that’s one of the things I look to subs to help get beyond.

I moved halfway across the country to get away. Mom stopped speaking to me when it became really clear that she wasn’t going to regain control.

[Present1]

I had a fall out with my mom two days ago, I told her I’m moving to a city very far from her, she blatantly said ‘no’. I’m a single 40 year old male with no kids living on my own but she still thinks she can drain my energy and control me like I’m still a kid, like what the hell is wrong with you? If she was all by herself I would understand but her husband and kids lives with her? Anyways…

@lovage

Seems like classic recon what you’re describing.

yeah, I’m on Stark + Index Gate: UPX custom. Got such a recon + dumbness every hella time I run the custom. Today I couldn’t even do a very simple math lol.

@Present1

Sounds like she’s not used to you wielding your authority.

Good for you, man. New Emperor is a great sub to help lean into that.

[Present1]

True, I never had a voice.

[Phoermes]

Even the Lion has to remind everyone of his mighty roar.

[Deadpool]

@Lion Yeah, exactly.

@Banc

A household where everyone is trying to supervise/control/know your every move/action.

It’s like “Big brother” watching you 24/7

EMPEROR or EMPEROR: The Will to Power suit this imo

In some cultures it is expected and encouraged for sons and daughters to live at home until they get married. Even then sometimes the new spouse moves in and everyone continues living together.

One of my best friends, who is Indian(i am too), who was in a similar situation.

His mother and him had a big fight where her helicopter behavior reached a ceiling with him. He packed his bags and just left the house. After a a couple of days his mother called him crying begging him to come home.

He did not for a long time… they have reconciled now, and he is free now and has his own place/family now. Never heard a complaint about his mother being controlling again.

Most indian men are beta until they realize that that part of their culture and upbringing is just bs and they snap out of this conditioning. Fk the judgments and shaming
…
In indian circles i have seen these helicopter parents also claim their Grand children by calling them THEIR children in heated moments with their son and wife. As if they OWN their Grand children.

helicopter parents will never stop if you dont stop it.

Attack helicopter parents… Think I’ll use that term. Attacked verbally and physically along with the incessant criticism. The real world is now here as bad as the upbringing.

My parents recently used the threat of selling the house in order for me to come running back in tears and live with them full time - I’m 42 with a live in partner!

Yup. The physical assaults stopped when I was about fourteen and my Dad realized I was about to be way bigger and stronger than him, but the verbal attacks didn’t stop until I moved across the country to get away.

We need the whole Emperor suite including a lesson on social power dynamics.

[unusualfellow]

Most men of our generation could greatly benefit developing the traits that Emperor seeks to bestow upon listeners.

We were all born to be powerful beings.
We forget our birthrights.

[Prioritas]

My current stack is Emperor + Primal + Khan Black St 4.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more stable or masculine in my life.

God bless SubClub and Fire & Saint
