ABOUT
My main goal is to provide you the tools to rationally share your opinion on tough topics.

I've adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past or a victor of your future and that at some point, you have to move forward in your life and accept that you are the present manifestation of the past.

I'll always be here to share my thoughts and offer a new perspective on tough topics. From politics to culture and self-development to new ideas, I'm here to talk about it all.

Are we just going to blow over the fact that for decades parents have been disowning their kids? And now were surprised when it can go both ways???

[marynorton]

Turning up unannounced at your daughter’s house when she didn’t give you her address is threatening. It says “you can’t leave me, I’ll find you.”

[aniE]

Too often the parents aren't willing to acknowledge how bad things really were and act as if you are just ungrateful.

[pearbear]

"It's just normal family drama" is the same phenomenon as bullies downplaying or not even remembering what they did to their victim. The axe forgets, but the tree always remembers.

[libertykim]

If you been sexually abused by your family then you did the right thing by leaving that situation. There’s no excuse for that.

If someone HAD done the therapy and was ready to make it right then they would understand that forgiveness is not owed.

[Elvalliant]

Oscar Wilde said : "Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them."

“I offered you food and shelter”.

Yeah, so do prisons.

8:26 “there’s absolutely no book on parenting” is abusive parent coded bc there are actually a TON of books on parenting

[mikemaresca]

When I needed help, my parents wouldn't lift a finger. My in-laws did. Guess which set of parents has their grandkids living down the road from them?

[MrRedkid]

Parents: "I offered you food and shelter."
Me: "True. But those are also the same things people offer dogs."

I saw this on asian parents sub reddit a few days ago "you didn't become selfish. You became harder to manipulate" this really hits hard. All my childhood and early adult life I always put their feelings first, I became an unhealthy people pleasing adult and honestly I've always had low esteem. It's frigging hard to work through all the damage my parents have done. I'm still angry. I'm still broken. I got alot of work to do so i can be the person i want to be. 10 years of no contact this year and it's the best and life saving decision.

I went no contact when I was about 20, as I got older I longed for my parents.. I’m 40 now and tried to have a relationship with them last year.. only to be reminded why I went no contact in the first place

My mother is a boomer who had a horribly traumating childhood. When she had my sister and i she chose to do nothing her mother did. She actively chose to bring us up different. I am now 47 years old..my youngest is almost 23. My children and i were never spanked, never spoke down to, showered with love and respect...heck we were never even grounded. I just wanted to say that i am so very proud of every one of you who have decided to make that change. To be different, kinder and stronger than those who came before you. You are amazing. I wish i could wrap my arms around you and tell you it gets better. Your children will treat you with the same respect you give them.

[jodimo]

I like you. Good job. I'm 63 female, I went no contact 2 years ago with my mean, abusive, angry, vindictive, judgemental, daddy...yes he is still alive. Too mean to die. I am truly a great daughter. Forgave and tried to forget. I am honoring by doing as he commanded, "shut up and f off" Peace at last. Oh yeah. I have 7 adult children. 13 grand. And they all love me. Why, because I treat them with respect and let them be the free person, . They are gifts from God.

[SarahYusra-sl]

Parents have been disowning children selling children abusing children neglecting children but are now surprised that they don't talk to them

[Demona]

How my therapist went with it

1- Figure out if the source of my severe anxiety and depression were anything else
2- Help me find the words needed to have a proper conversation with my aunts about how they made me feel
3- Next session see how said conversation went
4- Bring in toxic aunties and talk all together
5- Interview everyone individually

Diagnosis: I had to leave that house if I wanted to live

I left for good

8:16 "there is no book on parenting."

*gestures frantically at the many books on parenting*

[francestaylor]

I gave my mom an emergency key to my apartment. She would just come up to the apartment and not tell us she was coming over and treat the place as if it was her place. I was already married and had a child when she was doing this. She wouldn't tell me she was coming over. She would just come. Sometimes she would just drop stuff off and make me keep it because she was a hoarder. It was maddening. These people do NOT understand boundaries. They literally think that we are extensions of them instead of separate people.

[tutuzicoco]

The biggest red flag for me is: why do these parents care so much about other people’s opinions that they’re willing to expose their bad situation with their own kids on social media? It sounds like narcissism to me.
