Mom Won't Take My Cat to the Vet. Seriously?
My Long-Lost Bio Mom, Everyone
Round Two With My Crazy Mom
Lots of places say you should respect your parents no matter what. But here’s the twist: some parents are, well, pretty terrible. Like, "How did they even become a parent?" terrible.
Luckily, experts have spotted some classic bad-parenting moves, so keep your eyes peeled.
Stopped Talking to Her Years Ago. Dude, Just Chill!
Picture this: I stopped replying to her ages ago. Why? Because she treated me like a clueless kid or used me as her emotional pillow when I was just a toddler. Then she brought home this terrible boyfriend who landed in jail – and that was the last straw. I finally decided my sanity was worth more than back-and-forth visits. Now she’s blowing up my phone like it’s a party invitation. (P.S. I’m almost 17, so legal stuff still matters).
Mom Acts Like She Doesn’t Get How Much She Hurt Me
It’s been nine years since I lived with her. Childhood? Pure emotional rollercoaster with her ignoring that I’m Autistic/ADHD, and wondering why I’m not "normal." She asked how I could ever love her again. I said, 'No moving forward, no redemption.' Her answer? The ultimate facepalm. Spoiler: I’m still mourning the mom I never got.
Mom Already Bossing Me Around Day After My Partner’s Funeral
Lost my long-term partner suddenly. Had to move back home. And what’s mom doing? Demanding I wear makeup the day after the funeral. Also, the ‘drug’ comment? That’s me taking my anxiety meds after a panic attack. Could she be any more tactless?
Think things like exploding over small stuff, guilt-tripping like a champ, bossing kids around like dictators, comparing you to others (because who doesn’t love a little jealousy party?), and acting like feelings are optional.
They also tend to ignore your feelings, dodge taking any blame, and have zero respect for personal space. Basically, the "my way or no way" vibe.
Funeral or Doctor’s Appointment? Spoiler: Mom Chooses the Funeral
My girlfriend can’t walk after surgery, and we’ve got this important doctor’s visit for her cast ASAP. Mom insists I attend a funeral for someone I don’t know and ignores the urgent appointment. Also, she wouldn’t leave my girlfriend alone when she was in pain - cold much?
Mom’s Gone Off the Rails – Latest Update
Mom flipped out big time back in November. I’ve kept my distance since, but she keeps texting. Brace yourself for some mind-boggling stuff. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start.
Mom Steals My Package (Because Why Not?)
Mom’s toxic, I keep my distance, but get this: she took a package I had delivered and said it was for ‘safety.’ My doorbell camera caught her red-handed. I had to call her to get it back. Because adults, right?
A lot of these posts show classic narcissist vibes: selfishness, zero patience, and basically being the emotional equivalent of a rock.
All this mess can leave kids feeling like they’re stuck in a swamp of self-doubt and hangry for some self-esteem.
The Car I Barely Get to Drive (But Was Supposed to Be Mine)
So, I have this car that was supposed to be mine. Guess how often I get to drive it? Twice a week, tops. Her car’s been trashed since I got mine (and yes, I put hundreds into repairs). When she’s not using it, I’m basically carless. Family logistics at their finest.
That Time Mom Texted from My Brother’s Phone. Plot Twist: It Was Her!
Got a text from my brother but turned out it was mom using his phone. Haven’t talked to her in a week because she’s been going off with racist rants and threats. Guess what? Drama never sleeps.
Texts From Mom When I Didn’t Want to Go Visit Her Nutsy Family
I’m 20, out on my own for almost 3 years, grew up super religious and toxic on my mom’s side. Told her I’m not visiting her crazy family - including some serious creeps. Her reaction? Classic mom meltdown with zero respect for my comfort.
One smart doc said narcissistic parents often miss the "parent" part entirely. It’s like they skipped the class on caring and went straight to being self-obsessed.
Mom Told Me to Walk Into Traffic. Yep, That Happened
Mom Posted This on Facebook, Then Said She ‘Doesn’t Understand’ Me Being Nonbinary and Adopted
So Mom went full Facebook mode with this post, then told everyone she just 'doesn’t get it' and won’t raise my siblings around 'that stuff.' Spoiler: That stuff = me being me.

I Accidentally Spilled Coffee in Mom’s Car and Things Got... Intense
Accidentally spilled her coffee in the car (whoops). She did get a bit mad, and yeah, it soaked in. I was like 14. Still, the reaction? Pretty extra even for a kid.
Calling BS: Caused Baby’s Death Because of Raw Milk Obsession
Feeling like it’s your fault? Nope, nope, nope. It’s not on you. It’s about some grown-ups wanting to hold the remote control for your life.
Keep telling yourself that. Over and over. You got this.

My Dad in a Nutshell
Happy Birthday, I Guess?
Homeless Thanks to My 'Wonderful' Parents
After a fight, parents kicked me out without social security, birth certificate, or shelter. I’m 19, legally adult but stuck with ridiculous rules. Contacting them is a circus. Police didn’t help because parents lied. Lucky me, some good humans gave me a temp roof, but it’s shaky. Meanwhile, they’re probably loving the drama.

My Mom: Alcoholic and Schizophrenic, As If That’s a Combo
Dad Thinks I’m Faking Being Sick. Yep, Classic Dad Move
On a beach trip with Dad. Told him I’m getting sick. He basically ditched me in the hotel sick as a dog, while he hit the beach like it’s spring break. He even touched my forehead, saw the fever, called me dramatic, took all the keys, and I left my wallet at home. Adulting with Dad is a blast.

They stalk me online and hit me with bizarre texts every now and then. Phone’s on voicemail nonstop, but at least it’s entertaining.
