I respect that he dosen't go into specifics. The pain is genuine. He has boundaries, which I respect. You are watching a person with class.

I understand Ryan. My mom is the same. She’ll never apologize for the awful things she’s done to me. It’s despicable.

As most therapists will tell ANYONE, the two major issues 70% clients they treat for are called mom and dad. Most of the long term emotional issues stem from childhood issues related to parents/guardians/family or childhood emotional trauma.

Lochte is trying to pick his words carefully and diplomatically. Which is what you do when describing dysfunction in your family of origin

My mom was a nightmare my whole life. I forgave her but I never forgot and had to alienate myself from my entire family, because she choose to be the martyr. I tried shutting my mouth and letting it be, I spoke up, I got angry, I tried being nice, nothing worked. In the end, she made her choices and had to live with them. I made mine and have to live with them. I walked away at 32 and have not looked back in over 16 years. I wish things were different but I have a family to take care of and a life to live and she choose not to participate. She is gone now and I said a prayer for her passing and try to do better. That is all.

Both of my parents let me down. My grandparents raised me. I just try to be the best mom to my child

This explains a lot. I know how he feels. I cut my mother off in 2011 and my life got better. It's sad but you have to move on for your own physical and mental health.

Interesting…he sounds like a child as he speaks about this topic. His facial expressions and tone indicates severe pain and hurt from his Mom. He is happy now, but the child in him seems to still kinda care. I wish you the very best!

Not all women who give birth or the men that fertilized their egg(s) are good parents. They can procreate, takes a big person to really parent.

My mother is very much like this. She feels that she can say and do whatever she wants and I just have to take it and get over it. In over 25 years I have not once heard "I'm sorry" come out of her mouth. I still talk to her, but there's not much love there. It's very hard, but it's something you eventually make peace with and move on. I wish Ryan and his family the best.

I cried just with his few words. "She never apologize..." I felt his emotions

Weird...like watching someone's therapy session. Seems private.

Poor Ryan. On the surface he has it all, good looks and great talent, but such a troubled soul. I am glad to hear that he is healing. All I ever wanted from my own mother was an apology, but it's not possible for a narcissist to do that He realizes it too. We just have to get on with our lives. I wish you all the best Ryan.

This is parental alienation and it is real. It is also so hard to talk about as an adult child.

A lot of respect for Ryan speaking out on his family turmoil. Time heals all wounds. Some wounds just take longer than others.

I’d crawl over shards of shattered glass to set things right with my children. They’re the light of my life. I can’t imagine a life w/put them. ☺️🥰😘🙏🏻

I never knew this and I appreciate him speaking about this. My sister and I stopped speaking to our mother in 2015 after decades of abuse. It's still taboo
