Shaunée Nicole I agree.. my Mom raised my 3 cousin’s. Their mother came to visit them after 3 years after they had been living with us. The two you were 2 & 4(My uncle’s daughter’s). Fast forward my uncle changed his life & built a better relationship with his girls(they’re adults now. My Uncle passed away recent. Their Mom told her family that we kept them away from her all of those years. Not once did she ever try to get them back or build a life with them or help my Mom out Financially .

I disagree with Iyanla. The mother’s story becomes my story if I’m now raising your child.

I do agree however that relatives shouldn’t volunteer that kind of info

@icameisaws4829 6 лет назад

I TOTALLY understand what iyanla is saying. I was alienated from my father based off of others (including my mother) trying to tell his story. He told me his story when I was able to understand and put two and two together. My mother was bitter, so his story never sounded right coming from her bitterness. My father loved the HELL out of me.

Look how well that advice turned out. A child should not be told your mom not here because she would rather party. That is damaging to anyone let alone a child. How bout your mom loves you very much she would be here if she could. This young lady would not be so full of pain if the adults in her life did not use her as a weapon against her own mother.

@johnfreeman1164 3 года назад

@@crystalo8603 you'd be surprised what a child can handle. I would say things like "Your mom is an addict, so don't you ever use drugs or you'll be an addict, too!" or "Your mom had 3 abortions and was about to make you the 4th but we took you in. So don't start a family until you are married and can feed your family" or "I don't know where your mommy is. Your guess is as good as mine, but we love you and today we got you that pie that you like!" I would love them yet teach them how life works so that when mommy breezes back in with her lame excuses, the kids can tell all by themselves that she didn't even try to be a mother.

that's where I disagree at a certain age you ask questions about where your mom is, having a child does not make you a mother, raising a child does. parenting is more than giving birth spoken by a mother of 3 who was brought up by my grandmother who in every way was my mother. dont get me wrong I thank my mother who gave birth to for my life because that what I was taught by my grandmother however now that I have become a mom myself i am not as judgemental as I was before when it comes to my birth mom and have learned to forgive and move forward. however the person who I have the most love and respect for is still the person who raised me and not the one that made the choice not too.

@CMichelleWhite 3 года назад

My mother was on drugs and in and out of prison my entire life. I remember one of her former classmates told me my mother had been gang raped when she was in high school. Although it put some of my mothers actions into perspective, it was as if she was gossiping. It was not her place to provide me that information.

@illronico7026 6 лет назад

It's ideal for the one who hurt you to give you an explanation, but you can't wait forever for answers. Keeping secrets in a family out of respect for a prolonged period is not conducive to healing. Inappropriate for Iyanla to say what is appropriate.

@TheeTargetedJourney 6 лет назад

So she baited the girl by asking has she ever asked her aunt then says it inappropriate for someone to tell the moms story...? 😞

@MinnieAnthony 3 года назад

So, if the mama was lying on the family who raised her, they’re just supposed to let the girl think it’s the truth? I don’t agree with Iyanla here because the mama may be lying and may never reveal the truth. From my perspective, being one who was lied to by my mama, I just know I wanted the truth.. no matter who it came from because clearly, I wasn’t going to get it from my mama.

@trendygirl3489 5 лет назад

There was nothing inappropriate about her family telling her the truth. It was her story as well as the mother’s.

@OneLoveRSR 3 года назад

What was inappropriate was speaking for her mother. There's a difference between telling the truth, and telling someone's story. The truth is, the mother was too young to handle the responsibility of raising a child. The telling of someone's story is the editorializing of what they wanted, what they didn't want, how they felt and why they did what they did, from your own perspective -- not the perspective of the person whose story you're telling. That's like me saying "you cheated on your husband because you never loved him in the first place." I don't know that and that's not my place to say it. All because it's true that you cheated on your husband, doesn't make my personal assessment that you never loved him true. That's YOUR story to tell.

I've been wanting to see a reconciliation between her and her biological mom for years but then I realized her mom may never be ready to reconcile the feelings of shame she still harbors in having a child out of wedlock at a young age during a time where it was frowned upon. My father's biological mom had 7 children beginning at age 14, that were given away to various people. They all knew her but the animosity between her and them was hard to stomach over the years. I never felt a connection to her even I look a lot like her. She died a few years ago and I never got to know her story from her point of view.

@TP-xy2ms 5 лет назад

People are broken and desperately need a healing for wounds often scabbed over, so of course, this situation is no different than a child losing a parent in a car accident, if a child is not properly treated for emotional trauma, they typically grow up being emotionally traumatized adults. Why is that too often, people will finds means of buying something that a child really wants but can’t use that same gusto and tenacity to get a child in therapy that can possibly help them understand their wounds. As a black man, , I believe in prayer, professional mental therapy and accountability. I think a-lot of children would benefit from therapies. There are way too many incidents in our community that clearly demonstrates that our little people are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorders.

People are saying the mom lost the right to tell her story -- she didn't. Children should know the truth about a lot of things but don't take the opportunity to go in on their "parent" due to their poor choices. You can be truth by saying "They aren't ready/prepared to be the parent you need right now." Instead of building anger, resentment and etc. in a child, build their emotional stability and discernment. And if many years go by without their parent ever being present, seek professional therapy/guidance when delving deeper so that that child can have the proper tools to navigate those emotions.

I know y’all remember when she said “Very few kids need to know that they’re mother was a ho.” Yeah, that scene. Now in this scene she is saying that only the mother can tell her story. Which is it, can the mother tell her story or not? && don’t say she should cherrypick. Either tell it all, or don’t tell none of it.
