They say power corrupts for politicians etc. but it is BAD for parents

Talk to you and treat you any kind of way "because they brougnt you into this world" :skip:

On the real though, if her own blood isnt fukking with her anymore, maybe a lightbulb will go off and she'll introspect and change,
If not....fukk it. It's a win-win for you regardless
Hope it works out either way.

Well... :francis: If this is the best option for your mental and or physical health, good for you.


Toxic people can be parents too. People love telling people to excuse toxicity because it's a parent. Some parents rightfully earn their spot in the bushes. With that said, I'm glad I don't know what that feels like.

I was one of those people who believe(d) parents/family can do no wrong...and when they do forgive them...swiftly.
My beliefs were further entrenched as I witnessed middle class black families & my own thrive. I was brought up & taught Baptist doctrine. Specifically, 'Honor and obey your parents all the days of your life...'

It wasn't until I became non-denominational & got from around my immediate family (my mom was overprotective and rarely let me out of her sight) and began to see dysfunctional moms/dads - neglect, obvious favoritism of other siblings, resentment, verbal abuse, critical but hardly praised, etc. In my own family my mom (daddy's gone, RIP) was way, way tougher on me than my brothers. Although she didn't play the radio with none of us.
It was then that I recalled how no one hardly ever referenced the biblical quote - 'Do not provoke your child...'

Although I'm aware that there are men & women who have no business procreating, I still have a soft spot that they carried/birthed the child. That counts for something - as many people who say xyz about their parent(s) I hardly see them say they wish they were never born.

I've joked several times on here about parents winding up in nursing homes...all alone. I'm not saying it's always right but I understand.

OP,
Family is crucial & extremely important (above all else, imo). I hope that your relationship with your Mom can be mended soon.

I'm willing to bet most black men can relate to OP on some level. :patrice:

I know I can; I won't bush my mom. But we're not close like that and it's ok.:manny:

She has her own baggage that she grew up with, just can't let it be passed down to me and to my kids.

She's hypercritical, loyal to the wrong people, only accepts responsibility for failure when there's literally no one else left to blame but herself.
Every conversation I've had that could have helped our family out has been pushed aside cause she refused to see me as a competent adult man with real solutions to problems; we've lost hundreds of thousands as a result. :francis:

It's not even about love, she loves me for sure, it's about respect. She has none for her kids because she still sees us as exactly that; kids.

We can make fun of OP all we want, but really stop and think about everything I've mentioned, how you treat other women, and compare that to how your mom raised you. (Especially those of us who had a single mom). You might be surprised :ehh:

My great grandma is 90+ and still able to make my grandma, mom and aunt cry with a few words. And they bend over backwards to try n make her happy :wow:
she aint shyt to me tho, I'm always telling my mom "fukk that bytch" " she need to drop dead already". She raised all of em strict and showed em no love, and I know that's the reason why my mom wasn't always able to be as affectionate as u expect mom's to be

Wow I could've wrote this post almost word for word. The power these old heads have is insane. fukk breh repped but its a sad rep :mjcry:

At the beginning of mean streets
My momma a saint to me so idk about that feeling personally

But her momma? My nana? Pssht classic narcissist, manipulative pitting family against each other, cant never do anything wrong in life and is perpetual victim while also being neglectful and spiteful to the point she cost my mom her marriage to my father and then kicked us out her house after we had no where to go. Along with other unspeakable things. Did I also mention shes a color struck high yella Jezebel super kewn?

How come people take this attitude about parents,but not kids? You little nikkas would throw a fit and fall into depression if your parents cut you off due to your bullshyt ways. Well just like you wouldn't cut off a child,you shouldn't cut off your mother,as she is still a woman,meaning she is the child of man. If there is no man/husband in her life to take on those duties,that duty falls on to you. Look up your mothers astrology so you can actually explain what her demons are factually,scientifically. Right now you are just talking opinions,which could be based on your own sensitivity and fukked up astrological chart,matter of fact whats you and your mothers birthday:respect:?
