My mom once told me I was the reason for her unhappiness after an argument. I 100% know if I brought it up to her she would have no memory of it. "The axe forgets but the tree remembers"

“It’s a pearl now, not a grain of sand.”
That was beautifully worded.

"When I look at you and think of your future the only thing I feel is dread"

Thanks dad

"When you die, you don't have to leave a will because no one will miss you."

She was a math teacher and said this in 2012 in the middle of a class. I still remember everyone's silence.

The "must be harder to be her than be around her" lady has such admirable emotional intelligence 💖

It’s funny how we smile even though we’re in immense pain

"You deserve the world but i don't know how to give it to you" is a very sweet thing to say to someone.

My father once told me: "You have been ruining my life ever since the day you were born". Some nights this sentence still makes me cry, even after all these years

“It’s a pearl now, not a grain of sand.”
What a beautiful way to look at something that once hurt so badly.

When I told my dad I was going to go to law school, he suggested I instead go into teaching because I didn’t have what it takes to be a good lawyer. I ended up graduating from Harvard Law and now have a successful practice in NYC.

I was in rock bottom of my drug addiction, and my mom told me "I love you, but I've given up on you, I can't afford to care what happens to you anymore. You're living on borrowed time, now I'm just waiting for the call telling me you didn't wake up this time"
I still remind myself of that quote whenever I get thoughts of relapsing, I'm now 13 months sober

honestly this camera angle always reveals to me how beautiful every single person is, you hear their story and maybe feel sorry for them while looking in their face and seeing little imperfections that makes them human too. Everyone is trying their hardest to get through life and I LOVE how good that is displayed on this channel it is amazing!

“I love you but I don’t like you”

It hits deeper when in context because my mom was explaining that she doesn’t like my personality and she was kind of saying that she only loved me because she felt that she had to. There was a lot within this conversation that still hurts but that was the line that really stuck with me.

"I miss when you used to be so little and sweet, you've turned nasty & cold."
I was told this after finally escaping my childhood home of abuse, regularly going to therapy, and learning to set boundaries. As a child and for most of my teenage years, I was a total pushover; extremely well behaved and nice to absolutely everyone. This comment to me felt like her saying, "I miss when we could manipulate and walk all over you". I still feel guilty for standing up for myself today, because I feel like people liked me better when it was all a facade

My highschool home economics teacher pulling me to the side one day just to say "I give up on you". That hurt so bad that day because I was trying my best.

I lost our 1st baby, a daughter, at 27 weeks, she was stillborn. After her funeral my grandmother told me, “This was Gods way of telling you you weren’t ready to be a mother yet.” Those words broke me to my soul. We would go on to have a healthy baby boy who is now 15.

[snailloaf]

"You know, I never really loved you."

My Mom, on the phone with me, stating this out of the blue like it meant nothing. I cried a lot after that phone call. After so many years of manipulation, I'm glad to say I've cut all ties with her.

[asterios]

This just shows we all share similar experiences but we just never talk about our troubles because we want to protect ourselves

[no-sky]

The talk when my Mom and Dad sat me down to tell me I had Cancer. It’s the only conversation from my childhood I can vividly remember and it’s left me with a lot of dread when it comes to my daily life. Fearful that if I don’t schedule the right appointment in time as I develop more as an adult, I could die because I was too late to find another growth, I don’t think children should ever need to fully comprehend their own death at such a young age.

I was caring for my grandma who had Alzheimer's and had quit my job to do so. On a day she didn't recognize me she told me about her grandchildren and how successful they all were. Then she said "except my oldest(me). She will never amount to anything.". I was 46 at the time and enrolled in college the next day. I graduate in May and although I'm proud of myself, I was proud of myself before too. I just hate I let it effect me so deeply.
