Im trying not to shed a tear while watching this video. I barely talk to my parents. When i have kids, i'll make sure to be the best father in the world. I needed my dad to be in my life, til this day i mourn about it sometimes.
***** My point is black ppl weren't raised correctly because of their violent upbringings and religious beliefs forced on us. Women the vulnerable of the bunch
+Messagefrom Montie you only have one cousin Billy, one auntie Shirley, one uncle bubba, one grandpa Lester, one cousin Chester, etc. The moral of my comment still stands, you only get one anybody. You can have 3 kids, but you only have one of each child because everyone is an individual. Ain't no clones!!
I don't talk to either of my parents. Haven't talked to my dad in 10 years and my mom in nearly a year. Dad abused me (in and out of prison) and mom abandoned me, refuses to talk to me, or acknowledge her mistakes. Actually I haven't had a genuine relationship with either of them ever. I raised myself.
Still live with both my parents, but my communication with them is minimal. I refuse to speak to my Mom at all, only time we do is when it's necessary (bills, dinner, housing etc). I reached my limit with the belittlement, and verbal/physical abuse once I reached my teens. It was building up for a long time and she ended up crossing the line by breaking my PS3 and other possessions of mine with a bat. I've cut myself off from her ever since. She even fell out with my sis over something little and blocked her number. They were real close and talked all the time, but even now she finally woke up to her bullsht and understands why I don't eff with her anymore. My Dad so so, we just were never the same. Different interests and different mindset. He hardly ever checked my mom for being wrong either, I was the one who had to apologize 90% of the time. He has no spine
my fiance doesnt talk to her mom because her mom is a miserable,alcoholic peice of shit that hates our relationship because were positive,happy and drama free witch is the exact opposite of her life. Her mom does not like me because I am good to her daughter and am a huge reason why my fiance is going forward with a positive healthy life
Once my mother and her husband had come to a neighboring city (had to drive thru mine) to visit HIS family. They were going to stop by my place on their way back home. We cooked for them, waited for them all evening. Never showed up. No phone call, nothing. I think she may have called the next day or the day after that. They were at home 300 miles away. She says "I guess you figure we're not coming?" Really? She has done this multiple times and I just decided that I was tired of being disappointed by her. So I just don't deal with her. That's it.
I stopped talking to my dad for I think it's been 3 years now? I don't have daddy issues or anything but when dealing with him he thinks threats, insults and cussing at me is reasonable. I let that shit simmer for YEARS because my mom told me to stay respectful but one day I couldn't hold it in any longer. When I clapped back he couldn't believe it. I warned him when the last straw was to come and he didn't want to believe he wouldn't hear from me again so he tested me one last time. Can't say that I'm upset and due to his stubbornness he has yet to reach out. I don't think I'm an angel but damn you'd think someone 30 years older than I would be the mature one here lmao. Either way I have not and will not ever cry about it. He will have to forever walk around knowing his own daughter refuses to speak to him when people ask about me.
+aleisha66 and man just like one of the callers he bashed my mom all the damn time. the joke was HE was always worse by comparison and for some reason thought my mom did the same back but nah it was just his petty ass
I feel you i didn't talk to my day for 2 years but he finally reached out and we are doing s 100% better. I pray you and your dad's relationship get better soon. Life is to short my G
When there is too much chaos and argument, sometimes it's better to stay away. When grown children constantly blame their mother for mistakes of the past, like divorce, and are disrespectful when there is contact, that is why staying away happens too.
some parents have beliefs/behaviors.. that are at odds with the way their kids have grown to understand themselves and the world.. they won't speak.. and if they do.. they don't speak well..
This makes me so sad, my Mom is the same way...as soon as you do something she doesn't like, that's it, she says, "I'm done," she's never sorry, it's never her fault... it's so pathetic..my daughter is young, but I can't imagine ever leaving her to feel alone.
Sounds like my mom. You don't have to say anything disrespectful, not raise your voice, not backtalk none of that. All it takes for her to snap is to hear something she doesn't like. Hardly ever apologized, took responsibility, and it's never her fault etc. And my dad never checked her for being wrong
+Shoshinaki Me neither my mom didn't want me or my siblings and we stayed. And after I finally met her and tried to have a relationship with her she didn't want me or my siblings again. I personally tried two times after that to mend things but she acted a fool. So I said fuck it I'm not going down that road again. She did however reach out to me when I used to be on Facebook and I refused to even acknowledge her ass. I did send her a picture of the program when my Dad passed away before Christmas just to let her know and that was that.
My mom doesn't talk to me and it pisses me off the older I get. My husband and I are trying to have kids and I keep thinking HOW can you do that to your baby. She's terrible.
The confusion in the beginning about why someone doesn't talk to their parents is ridiculous. Some people have emotionally or physically abusive parents not to mention parents who are just not healthy individuals (drama queens/kings, bigots, gamblers, swindlers, anger junkies, constantly unemployed, habitually taking from their kids, painfully codependent, etc). Lots of people are not capable of being (at the very least) even decent parents. Come on. Ya'll played yourselves with this lame segment like it's an anomaly in society. Smdh.
I just find it sad I've honestly seprated myself in not just speaking on sumone else's problem I love my family to pieces its just so bad that I can not remember one time my family fought together other than when its all against another close relative like Its crazy because most my family stay n country so where I grew up its just granny my mother n my aunt my mama got nine kids my aunt has two so its like one family feud. kids vs parents I just dislike it but plan to open their eyes very soon help them from my veiw
Its sad my brother don't speak to our mom n dad over my grandmothers will he convinced her to put his name n only him house n ect it sopose to b nxt of kin n he's 42 lived w our grandmas his whole life bAnking on my grandmas money n my dad n mom n my mom pays for his new car n insurance n he gets new car every three years n passes now my mom in her car n she should take it
+L.P. Lightwell daddy's a drunk momma has diabetes and am good no reason to not talk to them, now my other three siblings never met their dad. But they gold they ain't out here killing dogs and raping people.
