Every child deserves a family, but not every family deserves a child.

Why’d I click on this I already know I have toxic parents

[clioandbrian]

Things parents need to know:-
'When you criticize or yell or abuse your child a lot... They never start hating you! Kids start hating themselves...'

[angela_angela]

Toxic parents compare their kids to other kids. Making em feel like they're a failure 😔

[wadew.]

*Apology without change is just manipulation.*
Remember that.

I'm not the only who wants to leave my house and start over, but being financially dependent on toxic parents is the worst gift life can give you.

[bambi]

The worst part about having my parents is people tell me that they “aren’t toxic” because the abuse isn’t physical and that mental abuse isn’t abuse

[alannysanchez]

Me this whole video: Don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry

*Do y’all ever feel safer at a friends house rather than ur own ? And when u leave ur friends house u have a whole anxiety attack because ur scared to go back*

1. They're manipulative.
2. They blame you.
3. They actively block you being happy.
4. They're unstable.
5. They are overly critical and mean.
6. They are severely abusive.

It took me 21 years to realize that my father is emotionally abusive and neglectful. I'm now 22.

Hate when parents say “I sacrificed so much for you! You don’t even know!”
Ummm we didn’t ask to be here... sounds like a personal problem

[franchescasilva]

My mom's a verbal abuser and my dad's a physical abuser. The perfect combination 🤌.

How I survived:
- Stopped caring about what they said or thought about me.
- Focused on myself for my future goals
- Know my worth
- Know what I am capable of
- Did everything for myself
- Just smile and wave bois

[valercornuwu]

my mom: *gives me truama, depression, sucicidal thoughts. compares me to friends family and litterally people that i dont know or dont even exist, never stop lying to me(even when i can see shes lying) never stops yelling, blames me, controls me, makes me act like a girl, ect.*


also my mom:
"why doesnt my duaghter like being around me?"

[markgalamiton]

In my opinion, a toxic parent of a family is one factor why a son/daughter might end up in jail.

[cronusml]

Parents always say that there's no room for emotion while they're always expressing their emotion to us by always being angry

[vintage_life]

Parents:"you should go out"
*Leaves the house for an hour*
Also parents:"you go out too much"
