    I went to school with Miranda and Melanie. Their dad taught geometry to a lot of my friends and while I never personally had him as a teacher, the biggest complaint about him was too much homework and the school didn't provide him with enough calculators for the whole class. He was never disrespectful to students or unkind.
    Dean and Kelly both worked at public schools but they had a dance studio built in their basement for Miranda and Melanie so they could practice and create whenever they wanted. They invested in the dreams of their children. Do you even KNOW how little teachers in Michigan make?!
    I had a class with both Miranda and Melanie. It was a performing arts class and in a room of over 100 students, they always chose to be together over hanging out with the other students in their respective grades.
    From what I've seen in the years we were in school together, Miranda and Melanie have always been very close, not by force, but by choice. Their parents have done everything they could to help their daughters to accomplish their dreams. Seeing this happen hurts my heart.

    yeahhhh I understand how the family feels. As an adult she has every right to distance herself, but the fact that she was so close to everyone and just left without any warning is strange. These are people that know her the best and witnessing a sudden change like that can be really confusing. Miranda looks like she's having an identity crisis. But after a while the family really needs to let her go. I don't think they're ever going to get the closure they want unless Miranda decides (on her own accord) to speak to them. I get the argument that the family making it public wasn't the best idea. They seem desperate to get their daughter back and that's hearbreaking. I just hope both parties can move on.

She might want to discover her own identity apart from "the Wilking Sisters" and discover herself as an *individual* and on that case, maalong this video will also just push her further away from you guys.

      I don’t think it was creepy as much as it was passionate. I am of the opinion that this 7M group has nefarious intentions and origins. If I knew my sister had fallen victim to such a group, my sentiments would be the same. My sisters and I are close and have a good relationship though. If I knew they were in a potentially dangerous situation and had suddenly cut me and our positive relationship off, I definitely would not be able to silently watch.
      I don’t think we can know for sure, but I think given the sudden changes and some of the behaviors from this group, I don’t think the family is in the wrong for caring.

    Miranda is 25. She can live as she chooses. I think her family just misses her, particularly her sister. If her parents were not accepting of their daughter's choice of a partner, well, then that's something to consider why Miranda isn't talking to them.

    When James said, “we just don’t like talking to Miranda’s parent AND RELATIVES” that’s was a red flag for me. I get you have grievances with the parents because they didn’t want their daughter marrying a divorcee with a kid a decade older than her. I’m not convinced it’s because he is black. They had him stay in their home for 7 weeks so the racist card I don’t believe.
    So why don’t they talk to the extended family? All of them surely are not interested in interfering in their lives but would prefer to stay out of it and just get along. Something is very fishing with James’ claim.

    I am not choosing sides, however I feel for Miranda. I found it strange how the sister emphasized that they never fought until the 7 month period of quarantine. If that's truly the case I'm sure that there had to be a solid reason as to why the fighting suddenly started. Maybe Miranda just wanted her freedom and felt she could not have that under the roof in which she was living. Like they say, the truth falls in the middle. I get missing your family member, but I also understand the need to get away. She's 25, she's not the Miranda from 2016 anymore.

People who are trying to develop their own identity do so over time, signs will be shown - they don't suddenly cut off their entire immediate and extended family in 1 day or 1 week.

September 2021 I started dating this chef opening his bar, he did catering when I was with him (as well as dd) and within a week he convinced me to quit my line cook job, move out of my family house, and dye my hair fully blonde. In my head it was normal bf/gf things bc he did it in a cute, supportive, and suggestive way. My friends said no get away but I thought "oh he's helping me grow, this is is bc I made a tiny bit more money with him, I learned how to talk to ppl and cook too, and we had party's.
    My friends kept telling me no he's no good, I took that as jealousy and trying to hold me down. Looking back though I wish I listened. I left him In January this yr after he tried to get me to be the "entertainment" at his chef caterings and house parties....yk what I mean.
    I had no where to go when I was with him, no money or car, (even though I was working with him , he would "save" the money for me to put towards a car. He said he'd help me pay half as my boyfriend bc we were still also dating as well. He controlled everything I had. Even my phone bill) he used things over me as well like videos and msgs, photos we took mad a couple. I understand how hard it would be for her or how sacred for her.

    If they had a healthy, accepting and supportive relationship all along, they would not be in this position. Miranda seems to think that her family’s motives are suspicious. Criticizing her and her life choices are going to push her away….

      @Heidi Schaer so I'm gonna go with you missed the part where her parents didn't like her decision and came to California...physically trying to restrain her and stealing her possessions. I'm also going to gather that you don't understand how your rights work. That's a 25 yr old adult. Which means....that's false imprisonment and theft. You don't have to like what other people are doing....but you can't force your choices on them. I mean, you can....if you wanna get arrested.

    It sounds to me like both sides hold truth. She may be in a negative or controlling situation with her family, and their disapproval of her life choices, while at the same time she is in a controlling situation (whether or not she believes she is) with her management team and their affiliates. Both things can be true.

  • @YandereDay
    @YandereDay Рік тому +27

    I was with the family until I learned she was 25. Their reaction is normal for a 15 year old. It is very weird to expect your 25 year old to live with her sister and parents forever and not want marraige, not have her own account, and have a "dream life" at home with mom and dad. Also how they emphasize that nothing was wrong. The healthiest families fight, the healthy part is knowing how to resolve it.
    I imagine she had a VERY enmeshed life until now. And it would be normal for someone to go from one controlling situation straight into another.

    Not a fan of any religion, but she is an adult and this is her life and her decisions. Toxic families always seem perfect, kind, friendly, loving, but it’s diferent when you are one of them, they can manipulate you, abuse you and control every aspect of your life. There is nothing you can do and nobody is going to believe you. You are terrified of meeting them, because you never know, if they will let you leave. Cutting them off is the only way how to escape this madness.

    The role of parents is to nurture and encourage their offspring to spread their wings and fly, not to use emotional manipulation to subdue and control. This is immaturity on behalf of the parents and sister. Miranda is demonstrating her own maturity and individuality, overcoming overwhelming odds to do so.
    If Miranda's parents had been less controlling and emotionally entangled with their children, they might still remain close with their daughter, supportive of the life she has chosen to live. Melanie is exhibiting the same characteristics she inherited from her parents...kudos to Miranda for freeing herself. She found love with someone who loves her in return, and they are living a life together, which might be a happy one were it not for her family continually trying to intrude and disrupt her new-found independence.
    Miranda is demonstrating admirable restraint and compassion in rationally explaining her side, and in still trying to bridge the gap between her and her family, despite their histrionic intrusive actions. She is setting appropriate boundaries while still trying to remain in amicable contact, but if she eventually chooses to go "no contact" in the future, no one should fault her for doing so. Her family needs to let go, and focus on their own individual lives so as to blossom into their own full potential. Best of luck to you Miranda and James...you deserve to be happy.

    I definitely see how this could go either way, I guess the only thing that doesn't really add up is how Miranda acknowledges she was always close with her sister, so I could see wanting to cut her parents out of her life if they disagreed with her choices to the extent Miranda said they did, but to kind of abruptly break off her relationship with her sister over disagreements with the TikTok account and not invite her to her WEDDING definitely seems weird. You would think she would just make the decision to go solo, like she did, but I don't see why she would cut Melanie out entirely over it. At the end of the day, though, they're the only ones who really know what happened. I usually have strong opinions about stories but this one truly could go either way.

      They were business partners with sponsorship deals. Miranda told her that she wanted it to be a more equal partnership and have more input and decision making ability. Miranda said that her sister did not share any of the money they made from sponsoring merchandise on their social media accounts.

    Miranda has grown up & moved on, which is a natural progression. She's 25. The family's concern appears to be overly controlling.
    If Miranda's made a mistake, it's her mistake to own. She deserves independence & privacy. Why would she want to spend her time & energy living with the judgement & resistance from her family? Not healthy.
    If my family went public with such a personal video, I would put even more distance between us! They need to live their lives & allow her to do the same, whether they agree with her choices or not.

    I don't know why but the Wilkings live just sounded weird to me.. like they were making themselves out to be a "perfect family", which they may have been, but it kind of gives me the creeps the way they spoke about it.
    On the other hand, if the older sister is choosing not to speak with her family that is her choice. My younger sisters and I don't always speak to each other let alone our parents every day, granted we do wish a happy mothers/father/new year/Thanksgiving/merry Christmas. But if she is choosing to live her life she should be allowed to do so.
    I don't know, just my opinion 🤷‍♀️

Separate from family and friends that may oppose the cult's views is brainwashing 101. The same reactions coming from her as from what I personally experienced with the victim in my own family.
