Just because some people can reproduce doesn’t mean they should have kids

[catgoddness]

My parents weren't as toxic as some people are but my family was very dysfunctional for many reasons and because of this I'm still dealing with consequences.

[leeshinmf]

my parents: *raised me in a highly toxic manner*
also my parents: why do you have low self-esteem????

[nicholaspather]

Me: *Withdraws to make sure I don't get hurt"
My parents: "You never talk to us and you only care about yourself"
Me: *Talks to parent to try and form a relationship*
My parents: *Starts huge argument about something barely related and proceeds to criticize everything I've ever said*
Also my parents: "Why are you depressed, lonely and suicidal we give you everything"

This video was spot on, i grew up with toxic parents and i am now 27 and still dealing with shit from the past

[wendybone]

Me: I'm depressed and anxious.
My mother: No you're not.

[ashsingh]

It scares me that I can relate to all of these points

[asha_vere]

"Are you suffering from any of these side effects?"
Me: "Yeah, all of them.."

Everytime I try to open up to my dad about my feelings, the more he uses the info against me and even blames me for feeling a certain way. And then he will just walk away making me feel stupid and regret that I even talked about my feelings. I think I am desperate for help. I have nowhere to run to. No one understands. I feel like I'm gonna die.

they break you're heart literally....then you get to chase you're tail for the rest of you're life trying to find answers...

1. You have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorder
2. You may suffer from PTSD
3. You may be highly self critical
4. You're more likely to develop health problems
5. You have a hard time saying no because your boundaries are often crossed
6. You may develop an insecure attachment in your relationship

Yup to the whole “product” thing. My mother gave me a whole speech yesterday about how I’m not grateful enough that she “gave me here genes”, and therefore I must thank her for my appearance. I know that sound really weird, but she was dead serious when she told me that.

Honestly this channel deserves more support. It has helped me so much and I bet it helped others too!

[vashkas_]

why am i crying?

oh right, because i know this is the truth.

[iammatt]

Woah I'm so broken. I can't wait to be adult and live with someone that will make me feel loved. Someone who I can trust... Sometimes I feel like my broken pieces will never come together again...

[LunAR-icuj]

My parents were never there for me emotionally. I always locked up my emotions and never believed I needed help, I deemed help as “pathetic”, “weak”, and etc.
I struggle with intimacy and empathy.

[brii]

I feel like I never achieve anything because of my parents

[rayco]

My parents: *Raised beating, kicking, punching, spanking me; Yell at me that they want to kill me but told me that is not true, insulting me, Being narcissistic parents, throwing my self-steem in the hell and a lot of toxic things.*


*Also my parents:* Why do you have low self-steem? Why you don´t love yourself? Why are you always biting your nails?
Your friends are a bad influents for you because we didnt do anything to you. We are good parents; I don´t know why you act like this but is not our fault.

I grew in a home with alcoholic parents, my step dad was verbally and a bit physically abusive. My mom was always asleep from drinking so I had to take care of my younger sister since they'd fight over who would do what for her. I got bullied and didn't have friends except for animals like the stray cats. I still have trust issues and I'm very afraid of being abandoned, not to mention having anxiety and depression.

That's only a piece of my story but I really appreciate the awareness you guys are putting out here. People need to know about the consequences of toxic families
