"Why are people so creepy now?" They've always been creepy, the only difference is now they have a platform whereas it use to be said between friends and family.
I once said "yeah I'm kinda tired" to a mom in my neighborhood. She asked how many kids I have, I said 1. She responded "pfft you don't know anything about tired." Why do ppl do that? Why do ppl treat being a parent like some competition? Nevermind that I am also a doctor and work 50 hr weeks at least. Nevermind that my kid was a toddler at the time. No, I only have 1 kid so it doesn't count. Wtf?
Because to them being a mom is their only character trait. They never got an education or meaningful career and never got to take on hobbies so they have to brag about their motherhood or they have nothing left.
A (few) counterpoint(s) to your mom: How many PhD's do you have? How many hours of residency/medical school have you done? How many diagnoses made/illnesses cured/lives saved? And lastly, how many of your children who are doctors have gone no contact with you because you're a Karen?
Oh everyone has that "I must compete with everyone else because I chose to have kids therefore I get to always gatekeep being tired/exhausted/stressed/anxious and no matter what is happening in anyone else's life, I will always have it harder," karen in their life. They're the worst.
some people say blood is thicker than water in response to cutting off family but what not many people know is that the original saying is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”
Chachi is a sick dog! It is confirmed in the text “You don’t need to eat all those hotdogs! A few at a time but you take the whole dam package! You need to starting thinking about other people & a sick dog instead of being so selfish!”
I'm glad my dad is protective in a not weird way. He genuinely cares for my safety and is beginning to teach me self defense, along with giving me a pocket knife.
@@axonice This includes a “pocketknife” or “Swiss army knife,” box cutter, or “utility knife.” According to California Penal Code Section 17235, all folding knives are legal in the state and may be concealed as long as they are in the folded position. There is also no restriction on the blade length of a folding knife. Im not sure about other states but California is fine with it.
lucky dawg. my dad doesn't give a shit about me, unless I'm trying to go outside and live my life outside of what's convenient to him. that's when he gets pissed and demands I don't go outside. I'm 22 and employed btw
This subreddit slowly made me realise that all these things that I thought were annoying but normal were in fact my parents being horrible people and gave me the courage to get out of the situation. Other than that Emkay is always a win
apparently my parents abuse me from some random video i dont think they did tho? (it said the signs of abuse, my parents do most of the things in the vid, but idk)
@@grey.tmc. my parents have done some of these things but its to what extent they do it. if its every now and again its annoying but if it happens regularly then its just abuse
Fun fact, according to the law itself, any items gifted or bought by a kid is considered their property (clothes, computers, etc.). Anything purchased by parents in general (for example like a house or appliances) are the adults property. This makes some of these posts straight up documentations of criminal offenses
Not really how it works, then that'd allow them to transfer a 17 year olds money from their bank to the parents bank account, despite it being wages from a job. Parents are NOT 100% legally in control of a child@@theeclipsemaster
Robin getting righteously angry at insane parents actually makes me feel better about my own parents being awful to me. My mother has done so much damage to me growing up I can't even get angry at being mistreated anymore
First of all, I hope you get better man, I could talk to you so much if we were friends Second of all, I cant believe these people exist, im gonna pray to Allah because my mom is normal🤲🏻🕋
My mother is painfully similar to this, and the more I watched this video, the more I realized how much I normalized her behavior. She constantly has screaming fits and talk’s constantly of how much she wants to get a new husband. She says she means it as a joke, but I always feel like she isn’t. She has once gotten mad at me and said I acted just like my dad, this is when I was around nine or ten. I told her that it felt like a negative thing to call me, she denied it and told me that I thought of it the wrong way. She recently got very mad after I denied food while we we on the way to a party. She turned around the car and threw us (me and my other siblings) inside the house where she continued to scream at me. She chased me upstairs as my siblings retreated to the car. My dad was concerned because he was at the party already and constantly called my mom, but was promptly ignored in her pursuit of trashing my room and throwing my art supplies all around the bathroom while crying and sobbing manically. I was genuinely scared she was gonna hurt me so I began to curl up on myself and plead with her not to hurt me. She calmed down eventually and acted so different, she was now speaking softly with me and asking if I was okay because she hit me down to the ground. We went back to the car after and she proceeded to joke about how I was telling her to not hurt me and how she threw my stuff everywhere, even laughing a bit. She seemed to think I deserved it. I don’t know, I just needed somewhere anonymous to post. It feels so good to let all my thoughts out, I just don’t know if I’m reading into this too much or not..
I genuinely hope that you can run out of there as soon as possible and never EVER coming back with her. I am so sorry that you're going through all of that, you not anyone deserves something like that. You deserve so much better than that, dude
Ahh, the joys of living with someone you only realize AFTER YOU move out had some sort of personality disorder (very likely intense mood swings or some form of bipolar disorder in this case)
Your reading where u need to, that is abusive behavior typically comes from mental disorders. My biological mother had Narcissistic tendencies, depression, and pretty sure a mood/emotional embalance. When u get away from them u realize all of the damage they've made in your life. I'm sorry that happened and I hope u are doing okie! Hang in there kiddo! I'm rooting for ya 🦇✨🖤🌙
The most horrifying thing in my viewing of this video was when my mom walked in and asked what i was watching. I told her, and she watched one of the stories with me. Then she agreed with the insane parent.
Aha!! What a wonderful mom you have!! ❤❤.. 😐 i feel bad for you, im so sorry 😭 i hope youre ok and hopefully the toxicity dies down! sorry that happened :( (No sarcasm except at the first sentence, sometimes people get confused)
You know that fear feeling you feel when you're walking down the stairs, think there's 1 more, but hit the floor- you've there? I call it "the wave of terror". When I read what you wrote, I got the "wave of terror". I was raised by an undiagnosed borderline. We're good now(for the most part), but I still get the wave when my messenger rings. I'll be 45 in December.
That lactose-intolerance post got me - my mother fed me some food last time I was at her house that I recently discovered I was allergic to. She did it because she "doesn't think my doctor knows what's best" and that I was "playing it up" while I was vomiting uncontrollably in the bathroom.
THIS NEIL FAMILY IS MY FAMILY! IN FACT IM THE NEIL IN THIS POST AT 8:40 Im not mad thst this was posted. Im actually very happy that this was posted on this channel But why do some people just hate indian people? (Genuine question)
Because most people base their taste for Indians off their smell. A lot of times, thwy smell like Indian food (which doesn't always smell good). A lot of people find Indian food duagusting because of thw amell,and sometimes the looks. Not too many people actually give it a shot. It sucks that so many people are racist to Indians because of their food, because I've met plenty that were extrwmely polite. Some of whichI only "met" because thwy stopped to let me walk across the road without a crosswalk.
The cat story hits a bit too close to home. I went on a month-long vacation with my father and my sister to Europe, but when I got back I found out that my mom had given my dog away to one of her friends and wouldn't tell me which one. Found out about 6 months later that they had put him down a few months prior despite being perfectly healthy with us. I was devastated yet my mom comes to me to say, "it's a good thing that we gave him away when we did, I would've hated to have to pay for the vet." I never even got to say goodbye to my best friend.
1:11:57 For anyone else confused, the lady in the story is complaining about how her husband is being really affectionate and endearing towards his daughter (aka, just being a dad), and she's upset that he's talking to his daughter like that, instead of her (which is why she kept bringing up cheating). Just thought I'd try to help by translating crazy Step-Monster into English for yalls
She should see a therapist. Which unlike most of the other clearly deranged people in this video she seems (with what little information we have) like she might actually do that if told to, considering she seems to acknowledge that her jealousy is irrational and crazy. Unless I read that one wrong.
Thanks was confused. Now understand SD was stepdaughter. Wife needs to realise his kids will always come before her, but equally he's got enough love to love his kid as well as her - it's not limited to one person FFS
The saddest thing is that I recognize my parents behavior as insane only after seeing it from the side Thanks to this channel my eyes are seeing clearly now😅
Sure, my mum and I do argue, but we always make up, and both love each other she worries about me, and I worry about her. You should have this relationship with your mum. I'm sorry that you don't hope you're well and away from them
Yeah, and you know why they act like that? They fear for you and always want the best. Maybe It doesn't come across that way but I am accurate. They are not your enemies. I never understood my parents either but as an old man, I now know that was also my fault.
@@solidstateresistor2485 I never said they're my enemies. I know they worry but since no one ever taught people how to healthy parent they're doing.. Well how they can
I once got yelled at by my dad (he picked me up to go to school and got me breakfast), because one time I got late (7:02 AM, I was in fifth grade, my sister being in third) and refused to get me and my sister food. I didn’t eat breakfast and he knew that because it didn’t get me full, ending up in a stomachache.
Honestly this subreddit reminds me that no matter how many times my family and I get into squabbles, it could always get so much worse. I hope all these people can escape from their awful families and live a good life :)
The mom who tried to sell her son's Oculus after he paid for it with his own money made me the most mad. I hope everyone told her that she was a terrible mother, and if anyone bought it gave it back to the son WITH the money just to spite her
Ikr? The fact she overpriced it made it so much worse. She must have no idea how bad it feels to save up that much money and then have it all go to waste.
@@CookieIsMyCat09 Update for that mother. She was ridiculed on that page. the money was pocketed by her and the son exposed her on Twitter. She was on bail for theft but her greedy organ refused pay it so she's now facing jail time. Good riddance!
I feel so sick about the 4 yr old and her little brother. I bet she was just "playing mommy" After all, she wouldn't know parents aren't supposed to hurt their children - it's what she's used to.
Quote from my father that still sticks with me some 8 years later: "depression is just the "in" disease, like SARS was." He said this to me when I was 16 and was battling with undiagnosed depression and anxiety. My mom attempted to unalive herself when I was 10, and I found her. I never got help for that. In fact, my father bullied me any time I expressed less-than-happy thoughts and played the victim when I was upset by the way he treated me.
funny how the parents calling the police can backfire so hard bc the child can just say theyre being abused by their parents and the whole ass situation flips around
Karens do this exact same thing. Entitled people think the police exist to enforce their desires rather than the law. Which scares me when I think about what they're doing politically
1:04:08 this mom actually isn't as crazy as the others. Bedbugs are f@cking hellspawn and can be an incredibly traumatic experience. If you've never had them, pray to every deity you do and don't believe in that you never will.
My male parent (doesn't deserve the title of father) treated me the way he was risen, as a rowdy boy with two brothers in the 50s, me, an extremely shy and introvert insecure sensitive AF only child girl in the 90s... basically just verbal and emotional abuse constantly. Been no contact for 17 years, so that's great for me!
i have a stepdad who was treated like shit when he was young but he does not do the same to me my brother and my sister hes a cool guy :D but sorry to hear you were treated like that :(
Unfortunately for me, my parents still contact me, even though i had depression and other mental problems from them fucking me up. My stepdad, who I fucking hate, was always beating away at me, and he eventually punched me so hard before I graduated high school, he destroyed all the teeth in my mouth, while braces were on. My mom enabled it and also was hyper religious and won't let me speak how I wish to speak. And she emotionally and verballly abused me. She's still over reacts at "Oh my God". I suffered enough pain that I GTFO'd and moved somewhere else. I haven't suffered location problems yet. Mind this was in 2012, before I heard of anything outside my house. Parents were overcontrolling too. I barely talk to them. Only one I'm chill with is my big sis. Also, my parents decided to get me into court trouble by framing me for something I didn't do, nor was nowhere near! 5 years burned away by pointless legal issues. I was cleared, declared innocent, and allowed to walk free. I hate my parents.
My parents were so abusive toward me, emotionally, psychologically, and on occasion physically. My half sisters are 20 years younger than me (I love them to the moon and back), and they get all of the support they could ever ask for, they get just about anything they ask for, my parents put the girls' needs before their own, and my step-dad actually spends time with them doing what they want, instead of them having to seek him out and do whatever he's doing so they can spend time with him. I'm jealous of the love they're getting, but at the same time, I'm glad they're receiving the love I didn't.
@davidsamarabowling8852 Did you read to the end? I said I'm jealous, but at the same time, I'm happy for them. I love my sisters, and I'm thrilled they're getting the love and support they deserve. I just wish my parents had given me the same.
mAn i feel this. same with me and my younger sibling (10 year age gap). Although sadly our parents are still kinda abusive and toxic but not as bad as with me. i'm right there with you on the envious but happy train....
This. My age gaps with my siblings aren't quite that big but the same thing happened to me. The worse is that through my whole life we've always passed as a near perfect family, because my younger brothers do genuinely get along with them, so no one would ever believe me if I said they emotionally abused and manipulated me. Took me years to realize what they did to me wasn't normal, and that's just sad, I seriously hope we can raise awareness to this kind of stuff and let kids speak up about their situations without being brushed off.
Robin is so real for every time he took the time to rant about the reality of these parents behavior, I'm actually a DV(domestic violence) survivor because my father was verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive, a lot of these parents here are no different from him and its just plain sad how some parents think that they're the victim, when they're making their kids think they aren't good enough, and never will, so said kids spend the rest of their days trying to please people and/or the parents just so they have the acceptance and approval their parents refused to give them. A lot of people need to act better
My dad was an abusive narcissist, and my mom was a codependent enabler who is ALWAYS the victim. She constantly whines about why my sister cut her out of her life and barred her from seeing the grandkids, but when I remind her *_exactly_* why my sister cut all contact, she just flatly denies all of it. I've given up trying to get her to accept the truth. I've tried to show her the "missing missing reasons", but all she did was ignore the entire article and laser-focused on one sentence saying "although there are rare instances where the estranged parent has not done anything to warrant losing their relationship with the adult child, in the overwhelming majority of occurrences involving estranged parents, the child is justified in cutting contact with the parent". ...Guess which part of the sentence she conveniently leaves out.
the 'pouring bleach into the vents' thing reminds me how a member of my family who I live with regularly pours bleach into the toilet to try and clean a stain which is there because they refuse to acknowledge that the cistern leaks (I tested it; it took less than six minutes for water to go from the top of the cistern to the bowl), and even if the toilet 100% DIDN'T have any urine residue left on it, you still shouldn't pour it in the toilet at the same time as toilet cleaner because THAT makes chlorine gas, and if the toilet isn't fully rinsed before the next use the urine will react and make chloramine gas. we know this person does it, because we have seen them in action and we've had reactions immediately after they clean the toilet, but they will not admit it and will yell and scream at you and call you a liar if you try and tell them to not do that. I hate it here
A bunch of these horrible "parents" need to be either arrested outright for actual crimes (e.g., stealing or breaking their possessions) or remanded to authorities for mental health evaluations. There's a LOT of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc. in most of these.
As someone diagnosed with BPD, Yeah no lol. This is just grade-A entitlement and thinking they own someone just because they had sex once. These people make me fucking sick and remind me of my mother.
My Dad is a workaholic I’m always tired and running on 1% energy, I work on school work all morning, and then go to work and get off at 1am, But every time I have a Day off my Dad thinks of some Work for me and my siblings to do, either saying “The house is a mess let’s do a house reset, or mowing the yard 3 times a week, or “Time for a work Day” he says it every time I’m off and home, or he’s off work and home. I’m so fricking done with this bs, counting down the months until I can move out 😭🤚
Ah, so this is our big compilation for today? Oh boy, this'll be a heck of a ride. Thanks for the content :3 Now, it's time to play 'spot my father's mannerisms in the video' and see how many I can find...
The story at 18:25, is similar to what happened to me at the age of ten. I forgot to do a chore from a long list of chores, my “mother” kicked in my bedroom door, grabbed me by the hair and dragged me down the stairs where she proceeded to yell and threaten me, and then she kicked me out of the house. Hours later, I had no choice but to go back in as I had nowhere to go, she wasn’t there but my stepfather and grandmother were, and they were under the impression I had run away of my own accord. She literally lied to people in order to avoid getting into trouble, and they, despite knowing how awful she is, just went along with the lie.
The bad part above all of these stories is until you move out, you cannot run but the parents can give up on you and put you up for adoption but you can’t run
Yeah i've been saying that there need to be institutions to help minors get emancipated. It's not fair that the law protects the parents' belief that children are their property
These posts make me feel like I'd be a good parent when I eventually reach that age. 9:39 is a rough example. If my FOURTEEN YEAR OLD daughter got that level of privacy invasion, I'd have to do a checkup for mental issues. What the hell is wrong with that parent?
Nothing. That's a responsible parent keeping their child safe from the internet. Sorry to break it to you but parents giving their kids internet access with no monitoring is failing as a parent to keep their child safe
@@BICSEDITS2Yeah, see, your take would've been good, if not for the fact that you could communicate with your child, instead of invading their privacy. Passwords nonetheless are not a necessity to the parent, and definitely not for _everything._ Just because you aren't invading your child's privacy, unconditionally, doesn't mean that you're negligent.
6:17 I see this and immediate red flags before I even see the shit about punishing the girl for hitting the baby. Yes, the 4 y.o should not have done that, but leaving a toddler and an infant ALONE? Y'all know that this is Madeline MacCann's parents did when that poor girl went missing, right???
42:48 My family always talked about how skinny I was when I was a kid, I realized that my ED started when I was 12, and that's when they stopped saying it LMAO 😭 I wish people would just stop commenting on people's bodies
"There are serious regulations for those under 18 working in the US" Also the US: bringing back child labour and reducing punishments if something happens to the kids.
That mom telling her son to ‘be a man’ pissed me off. I grew up in appilachia and if those old coal miners had ANY other options in life they would have taken them. They didn’t WANT to sacrifice themselves for a living but they were willing to for their family. It’s not something to teach kids to aspire for. Only higher income families that have never had to feel hunger or working until they fall over ever think like this.
And a much better response when those laws are broken. Doesn’t matter what’s written down in a law if it’s not enforced properly, which it never is, because spending money on keeping children safe is less important that paying subsides to oil companies apparently.
16:00 I wouldn't be surprised if NASA launches flat earthers into space to see the curve and even put them in a suit and put them outside to see it. they would say some shit like "The glass of the helmet is a fish eye lens" -__-
As a former woman (trans male) I can save for one hundred percent certainty even outside of the religious community (can't imagine what that's like) my dad would always make wierd fucking remarks whenever I would go romp around in the woods my next door neighbor friend!...we were nine! And he'd frequently ask "he get ya pregnant yet." And I can say with 100% certainty that that has affected my ability to have sexual relationships with people because the males in my family always talk about sex to me and it makes me really uncomfy, they won't stop, so now I when I try to initiate any fun time of my own with someone else, I get the ick. I get that it comes from a place of love and protection, but at a certain point, YIURE sexualizing the situation more than the child and just makeing them uncomfortable around people of the opposite gender becuase whenever we go for a innocent walk we basically get told that we HAVE to make out. Mind our own damn buisness
Also from what I know that would have been literally impossible unless you got your period sooooo early you'd probably need to see a specialist, wtf was wrong with him? That's super creepy! -another trans AFAB
I know this was posted 4 months ago, but thank you Emkay for this one. I don’t honestly know how Gen Z (I’m almost 20) got so fucked up by Gen X. From talking to all of my friends, my girlfriend, even penpals around the world, it seems like something is unanimously horrible about them as parents at least. This video helped me really realize that this shit happens to almost everybody, and it’s a disease. To everyone else out there who had or is going through this right now, you’re in my thoughts.
I'm 19, and same! I wonder if these abusive parents have always been this widespread, and it's just with the internet that we can discover it by comparing experiences with so many different people. I got the best of both worlds with being emotionally neglected, (them always on the computer or the TV, they were retired my entire life they just chose not to interact with me or my sister) then turning into helicopter parents when I wanted to do anything with friends or go outside. They wanted all my passwords, no texting friends, and if I went anywhere I needed to be in constant contact with them. During covid I quite literally wasn't allowed to be inside a friend's house for like two straight years. I had to enter through their backyard and sneak in their house and pretend I was social distancing outside with masks all evening when I got home. Now it's 'you never spend time with us' 'youre always on your phone' I could go on for paragraphs, but that's between me and my therapists, I really can't understand the thought process behind not interacting with your kids then getting passive aggressive that they don't interact with you. I think maybe they were sold on the idea of a perfect life, and kids were a part of their vision, but they didn't see us as anything but accessories to their own fulfillment. I was always a human being that needed support and understanding, but I had to wait until I was 16 to be acknowledged as an individual.
@@blakewhite3131 Thank you for sharing what you did. My story has a lot of complicated moving pieces but the main idea is that one of my parents emotionally and physically abused me and the other just forgot I existed because they had better problems. Now that I’m moved out (only down the road but still) I’m being constantly berated to come and see the family, told that I don’t care about anyone but myself, and whatnot… Also I never got to see or text any friends either, but that was hardly my biggest concern at the time lol. I hope you’re in a better place emotionally and literally now, as we all could use someone that can properly reflect as these times in our lives to help us navigate everything and hearing that another person in my life offed themselves for something like this makes me sick. Take care, have a nice life
I'm Gen Y and awful shit happened to me, before Gen Z came around. For example, my stepdad challenged me to a fight I couldn't back out of when I was close to graduation, while I had braces on. And destroyed my teeth. Not to mention beat me as a small kid, and as I grew up, my mom was hyper religious and hyper manipulative and I didn't have true privacy. Plus they called the police on me a lot. I still hate them for what they did.
Can you people stop giving things names, it has nothing to do with 19th century, idiots are just idiots, there’s nothing more to it. Just because the vast majority disagree with someone, doesn’t necessarily mean that person is completely in the wrong.
GenX viewer here. Love your content, my mom is abusive like a lot of these posts (Silent Generation). That whole “I’m not your friend” thing parents say is bullshit. My parents told me I would “never be [their] friend” and that is 100% true well into my 40s! 👋 Way to alienate your child, can’t imagine why I barely interact with them in my adult years. I don’t like or relate to many in my generation either (most of my friends are Millennials because a lot of my GenX friends became conspiracy theorists or think their views, 80s music and childhood are better). I’m kind of a spiritual Millennial born 10 years too early. I was the weirdo in my family who wanted a meaningful job and decent working conditions and wanted to change the world for the better. People bitch about Millennials, but really, you make the world a better place. My toxic family wanted me to become a teacher, but I didn’t want to deal with helicopter Boomer or Karen X’er parents. I am more of an artist type who just wants to have a meaningful life and keep learning until I die. Lol! Thank you for your channel EmKay. It’s nice to know my views are shared by so many others and that I’m not “just immature, an idealist and unrealistic.”
I told my mom repeatedly during my teen years: “you do realize I will be the one to decide whether or not your a- will be in a home, right?” She treated two of her children horribly but had a golden child (Oh, don’t worry, she told us all the time who her favorite was) and now… none of us are speaking to her. Including the golden child.
I take thah back if there male an married they will let mom live with them to be spoiled an have the wife take care of her ( sorry never hear wife doing that i sure it does but more burden is on the wife
American moms and grandmas be like: blah blah blah jesus christ god loves you **bunch of emojis** bla bla bla bible and shi. American dads: AMERICAAAA!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸
22:50 Yes indeedy dandy neighborino it is 100% a FEDERAL CRIME to open or destroy other peoples mail or packages if it is addressed to that person. It is called Obstruction of Correspondence. "§1702 . Obstruction of correspondence Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." -Justia US Law website
The only one I kinda get is the one about blocking them from doing anything but calling. My lil sis (10 years old) was caught spam texting boys to talk to her and immediately trying to sext them if they do. The only reason she got to keep her phone was bc the school she's going to is rlly far away and my mom wanted her to be able to call if smth happens. In this situation, blocking her from contacting anyone else is reasonable.
STORY TIME: When I was like 8, I had $300 saved up and decided to buy a Nintendo Switch. My mom ordered it and some games. About 5 months later, she got mad because I was in bed at like 10AM on a weekend on my Switch. She grabbed it and threatened to throw it and smash it. I got upset, and she yelled at me for crying. I was almost 9, had BOUGHT IT MYSELF, and she threatened to destroy MY property. Same thing happened when I accidentally scratched a coffee table this morning. I'm 14, almost 15.
One thing that really confuses me is the entitlement of some of these parents thinking it's okay to open someone else's letter/package regardless of if that person is their child or not. The only times my mum opens anything with my name on it are times when she has explicit permission to do so.
It confuses you because you understand peoples boundaries and have respect for others stuff and privacy. Abusive parents which I have don't give a shit about any of that. They think their kids are their possessions and have no rights to anything even their own mail. They void you of any personality or original thoughts and you have to be, do and say what they want you To. If you go against it you are severely punished. My parents said since the mail came to their address it's theirs to open even though my name is on it. I learned the post route and times and got my mail out and left theirs in there.
11:23 reminds of a time when I checked out a scary stories book with a spider on it. To respect my mother, who had arachnidphobia, I made a book cover out of a paper back, like our teacher taught us. She eventually found the book and took off the cover, as it was fraying and screamed and yelled about its contents. Long story short, I had a Matilda moment as she ripped the book apart and yelled at me for bringing a "demon book" home
I have to thank EmKay, thanks to them I realized just how toxic my parents were, helped me understand why I was so anxious and generally unhappy at my father’s house. I still technically live at home but my week that I’m technically at my dad’s I sleep at my gf’s house every night. They still make comments occasionally about me being obsessed with my gf and how I need to balance family and other relationships but at least I’m only there during supper. And my gf’s parents have been extremely welcoming and understanding of my home situation and said (and genuinely mean it) that I am always welcome, even when my gf’s not there Edit: added a word
Me watching this video a few days ago: Wow sounds like my grandparents Well now we don't have contact with my grandparents because my grandma freaked out on us and my grandpa said we should be in an institution :D
39:08 true, but also if its lowered by 1 decible they think you're trying to mutter it under your breathe and if its monotone and flat they think you hate them and you want them to die because clearly you dont care about talking to them
Once my mother was gone early so she couldnt send me to school and she expected me to leave and BE THERE at exactly 7:55 (I had breakfast club) when I got back I saw like 4 texts and I just said “how did you know if I was school or not?”. She changed the topic. Edit: typo
Usually I can watch a whole insane parents video but I actually can’t finish this one because it’s making me really uncomfortable. I grew up in a home like this in my earlier teens (I’m finally 18 and out) but hearing an adult standing up for the kids is very weird to me because nobody did, so thank you Robin, a lot of kids need to hear this but damn is it a weird feeling.
0:55 THANK GOD that one of my Parents (my Dad) is literally a Bachelor in Arts and he's absolutely adorable if I ever show him my works I am a hobbyist artist and Everytime I show my artwork (I do extremely basic sketching if I don't do my work in Multimedia) he's getting all giddy and always insanely supportive of me to the point that "Dude, you should trace that digitally, animate that and post it on the internet!" is a common take that came out from both my mom and dad and I had to always constantly remind them that even in my current work, I'll need a LOT of time to actually make that work lmao. I'd gladly take a bullet for them to always be with me. And thank God that I don't have to deal with non supportive and absolutely bonkers parents who have zero empathy to their Children's works
