😔💔 The reason why a SON doesn't RESPECT his MOTHER | STOICISM

---

What happens when a child stops respecting their mother? Is it the fault of upbringing, society, or simply human nature? The truth is that respect isn’t lost in a single moment, but through a silent accumulation of ignored gestures, sacrifices taken for granted, and boundaries that were never set. And the hardest thing to accept is this: if you keep waiting for an ungrateful child to change on their own, you could spend the rest of your years trapped in a wait without answers.

This video is not about comfort or false promises. It’s a raw conversation about what it means to grow older with dignity, without letting the fear of loneliness make you tolerate the unacceptable. From stoicism and maturity, we’re going to face it all: unhealthy attachment, the guilt that weakens you, the trap of giving too much while expecting the bare minimum in return. Because at this stage of life, respect is not begged for—it’s earned. The question is: do you have the courage to set the boundaries you never set before?

If the father is disrespectful to the mother, the children will inevitably disrespect her.

[cynthiaarons]

Exactly what happened to me. Giving and giving and NOT expecting anything back. But I am done - I am walking away from a son I saved from the father’s desire to have him aborted and from a father who didn’t have much to do with the child even BEFORE the divorce. When I could no longer afford to indulge in his capricious demands, loyalty switched to his absentee father, who had the $ to buy him at initial reconnection. I don’t impose myself on anyone - I have finally walked away and focused my love to orphans. There are way too many children out there who need the love and kindness that I can give!

[LassieSgr]

At this point I owe nothing to my adult children. If I never see them again, that is their choice. My own life requires all that I have. I am never alone. Yet I have always been alone, Which has made me very strong. I am free from their chaos.

[remember]

I set boundaries with my 2 sons to avoid neglect and abuse and I haven't seen either of them for 10 years. They know the right things to do because I taught them, but if they choose to do the opposite, I'm not their punching bag. Motherhood can become a very sad and lonely life, unless you reinvent yourself.

cant believe the hidden jung files by elena graves isn’t mentioned more in videos like this… it’s literally the missing piece

[StoicQuotes]

This video isn't just about parenting — it's about reclaiming your self-worth. When a mother stops begging and starts embodying dignity, everything changes.

[kristyevans]

The sad part is when a child doesn't appreciate having loving parents.

[debbiehenrys]

My son abandoned me and his sister and grandmother after he married into a rich family...i am worthy and my life is not negotiable..enough hurt

[Eirene]

When you give too much, you end it when up receiving less. When you give without limits, what you receive is indifference.

[LassieSgr]

I expect that I'll never see my children again. That's Ok for me.

[toniburns]

I thought I was not alone in this subject and feeling ashamed was not the answer. When you have gone over and over in your head "What did I do wrong to deserve the enormous hurt I am living with?" and there are no answers from the child you so loved. I told myself "You did your very best to love and be loved" and can now live my life free from any guilt that was enforced onto me. Live your life good Mothers and tend to your own souls...You are not alone.!

I almost thought I was cursed as a mother, until I accidentally stumbled on this video today! I listened to the end and will do for a long time. Thanks for uploading..

[felypedrick]

Mothers should not be blamed on their sons disrespectful ways, for the sons become ungrateful .

[vickigonya]

I no longer CARE Im not taking another ride on that merry-go-round

[lindatoms]

I bought a dog and now I feel respected and loved. It was never going to happen otherwise.

[lilyanemugho]

I owe nothing to the past. I refuse to fear loneliness and I embrace dignity and I sacrifice my value anymore. Thanks for the topic.

[janewanji]

I have learnt a lot. My children don't talk to me. My respect is not negotiable.

[linneyd]

Resonates with me. It's like my life story. I married a egocentric man and I had a son. I held on to the marriage until the summer where my son was going to university. I left the marriage with nothing but the clothes on my back. After that my son was a stranger. I text him once to say I was in hospital and doctors said I had 7 days to live. My son never responded. The only time he contacted me was that he wanted something. I did not bother him again. He contacted me 6 years later. A month later I sent him an xmas card. He called and said 'why did you send that?'. 6 months after he informed me that he and his girlfriend had a son who was now 2 weeks old. I sent gift cards for the baby, but heard nothing. Then I stopped trying. I built my own life. I now have friends who treat me with love and respect. I still have a little sadness about my only child but I now have happiness and a stability I have never known

[CelesteJenkins-fc]

The bible said it best, Honor our mother and father that ur days be longer on earth. I believe that totally ❤😢😢😊😊

[janegathuku]

I owe nothing to nobody, I've done my very best and have no regrets, I've learnt so much, am in another level, Thank you so much for making me independent and respect myself
