People who say stuff like "medicine is not the answer, God is the answer" remind me of that idiom about the guy who is in a flood, refuses several rescues, because God will save him, and then ends up dying, asking God why didn't God save him, and being told "what do you mean? I sent you several rescues!"
Good point People bitch about vaccines not being in the bible, but I don’t think the bible recorded anything even past the 1800s. For all we know, God probably gifted scientists the knowledge of vaccines, and we’d none-the-wiser

Or you actually go outside when still living at home and they go "Oh look who is still alive", "Look who has left their cave", "Did the internet break?" etc. Like, thanks mom, I'm already trying to avoid you and this doesn't make me get out of my room more often

@@BlueSodaPop_ ugh that sort of negative reinforcement is so (abrasive?) i got similar stuff & it really saps the willpower you used to make an effort (if you did) or the joy out of just doing the thing. i get making jokes with your kids- a friend of mine has a really jokey relationship with his kids, but they tease each other (i think it's important- he laughs at their jokes about him, just enjoying the time with his kids) *kindly* it's fun & ofc not about shit they are struggling with. when i see the amusement the kids get teasing the parents, or their laughs when they get targetted, it's easy too see how different it is when it's just a family having fun & i envy them as much as i'm happy to see it.
@@sjs9698 Sometimes I wanted to make myself believe that she's just joking like that. But just a month ago actually, after a big argument, I had to accept that she was just being toxic and hurting me. I moved out now and safe to say, things slowly get better. It's hard, but the only thing I could do after years of trying to make this relationship with my mom work. It didn't work, sometimes it just doesn't.
And remember, everyone. You don't need parents THIS bad for them to qualify as bad. If they have hurt you physically or mentally more than necessary, they are bad parents. Many things count as abuse. Spanking (belt or no belt,) unnecessary yelling over mistakes, physical or emotional neglect, poor education, lack of acceptance, overly controlling, overly protective, not protective enough, and more. The only thing they need to do is make you unhappy. If you believe their actions against you are unjust and have impacted your life negatively, they have failed as a parent.
I resonate with this, really, but "The only thing they have to do is make you unhappy", while cathartic, seems really unfair. Like, my father wasn't great, and he made us all unhappy many times, but I didn't see him as bad, just broken. And my mother, who is by all accounts a decent mother and human being, has made me unhappy many times growing up, sometimes even for things I couldn't be blamed for, and I couldn't call her a bad parent by a long shot. Being unhappy is a part of life. Finding your way back to happiness is too, and I think that's what a bad parent can't do: they can't bring that happiness back.
@@SammyLammy1D question I ask myself but flipped pretty much my dad is literally just a lazy narcissistic asshole and seems to like taking things out on me especially (in comparison to my younger sister) my mom is definitely not perfect but she's a lot better and open to challenging her own views and stuff she asks him to help do house chores and stuff and he either says "yeah yeah in a minute" and doesn't do it or tells my sister and me to do whatever it is and yells at us if we don't immediately jump up and run to do the thing. One specific example: the second has happened a good number of times with dishes in the dishwasher and putting them away, and we've told him that he never does the dishes and then he goes "I do them all the time, you do them" and he says that enough that he doesn't actually do them like ever aaand I'm rambling now but one last thing- I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and my dad still says things like "you've just got to do it" or "you can space off like that, you need to pay attention" and like I've literally got inattentive-presenting ADHD and I drift off into my thoughts a lot and it's really not that easy to just not do it oh and he insists that me sister and I know things when we say we don't, or that we're lying about something to do with ourselves/our own minds ._. like last I checked you're not a telepath bruh well shite it's a rant now oh well

It’s quite clear why they have children. They’re power hungry narcissists. They’ve no interest in raising a well rounded child. They just want to manipulate them into doing what they want all the time. And mostly because nobody can stop them.
... The mom who put their kid in a chastity cage... I'm pretty sure the kid could call CPS and they'd get him out of there, seeing as that cage is used primarily for kinky stuff adults use, and if there's 8 years until the kid leaves (meaning the kid is 10), the kid could absolutely get out of there.

More accurate sentence - "Your body, was ONCE inside my body!" because mothers don't know science lmao A body with another body intact is FAR more different than a body being IN a body. The mothers only pass on nutrients and food onto us; and then when we come out, WE AREN'T THEIR BODY. We were just in it. And came out, and living organisms like humans cannot be claimed as possessions
Its so freaking weird how they want to put their "authority" over your decisions about your own body. I makes no fucking sense, they have no right to decide over us, and they shouldnt be allowed to have a word on these topics

I HATE the whole culture around not taking medication because “god will heal you if you’re faithful” . I’m 28 years old and was just diagnosed with ADHD and autism last week, Not to mention the depression and the anxiety that I was diagnosed with a few years back on top of a couple chronic illnesses. All of which I need medication for and all of which I was shamed for taking medication for for one reason or another. If I hadn’t been in therapy for a few years before I was open about taking medication I probably would’ve stopped and it probably would’ve killed me. Shaming people for taking medication literally kills people!
I've been diagnosed with ADHD since I was in kindergarten. My parents were good about me being on meds, bc mom needed them too. But the outside stigma really kinda gets to me sometimes like "oh i should just be fine without these. I just need to try harder." Nah if you don't have the homemade chemicals in your brain, store bought is fine.
Like someone else said it's like that bible story of a man drowning. Boats came but he said no god will save me. He dies and asks god why he didn't save him. God says I sent like three boats.
Wait, people need to take medication for adhd and autism? I do fine without em, i just dont,, understand how people need it.. Maybe im too used to not having any (i refuse to take them) but ?????
My mom side of the family is not letting me use my ADHD medication, their excuse is that “i will get addicted to pills” When i asked how will I get better if i don't take my meds, they really deadass said, “just convince yourself that it's not real and it will eventually go away” Oh. My. Fucking. God. 😃

Spamming someone is never appropriate. If my boyfriend spammed me, I'd be like "Can you cut that out? Its not increasing the odds you'll get a fast reply."
I'm a spammer not in the hopes of getting replies but because I forget things so I send my thoughts as they come out. Or I'd never remember what needed to be said.
In pretty much any case they will get a slower reply from me. And if they're especially annoying I will just turn my phone of and they will not get one.
I'd rather have memes spammed at me than someone begging my attention. At least memes are funny. I just get mentally exhausted having calls for my attention spammed at me.
"something as serious as anxiety and depression" I actually almost started crying bc it's like, so rare to see it be taken that seriously and acknowledged as the actual huge problem it is, thank you for that - a mentally ill person who is grateful to feel understood
it really is serious. remember that you are loved, and whatever problems you are facing will be resolved at some point. it will be hard, but someone believes in you. if they don’t, forget them and i will. once again, you are loved by someone. that someone can be me if you need it ❤️

@@autumnrose9655 Thanks for asking, but it's a no for 2/3. I have a doctor's appointment coming up in a few week, and was really counting on asking for help. (There's this mental health sheet they always have me fill out) But guess what, MY MOM TOLD ME TO LIE. why? Because her stupid work plan apparently promised mental help for free, and she trusts that OVER A DOCTOR. Yes mom, you're a legal Mental Health Technician. But that doesn't mean you automatically know the inner machinations of my mind. I get it's because she wants to save money, and i understand, but i just don't feel comfortable LYING TO A DOCTOR. I need help so badly, and now i feel like I'll never get it. Thankfully, I'm out of the house for a few days. I'm actually staying with a friend till Tuesday. (Same friend i tried to talk about transformers with) I just had my other best friend- one I've known since kindergarten- move to florida, and i saw her for the last time literally right before my mom dropped that bomb on me. Oh, and neither parent really accept me as Non-Binary, which hurts.
"You don't need your pills for social anxiety cause you're not social so you don't need it" threw me off. I mean we should be used to people resistant to common knowledge and education, but how this was so casually...
It hurts my soul, how relatable this is. The fact that some parents feel entitled to communication to their children throughout their lives despite doing shit like this. My brother has blocked contact with our mom for the past 2 years, and it sucks, but it does help him. I can see how much it hurts my mom but I'm glad he's happier now.
Yeah, he's definitely going to be into some freaky stuff or going to be so messed up that he will not able to have the naughties because of childhood trauma.
As someone with borderline, I'm so glad I started therapy when I was 11. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get diagnosed with borderline until you're an adult, but I got lots of anger management therapy and learned how to be better! Now I'm doing DBT (a special kind of therapy for people with borderline) and have an amazing therapist who specializes with this disorder!
"It's for social anxiety" " but you're not being social so it doesn't matter" Ummm....yeah, that's the point. Social anxiety causes people to avoid social situations. If they have help with it, they can socialize more.
The click actually was one of the factors that made me seek therapy for the abuse I suffered at the hands of my mother. "Family is a nice starting point but you're not obligated to take abuse because you're blood related." Really stuck and I'm happy to say I'm doing better mentally. Also, to those dealing with insane parents and are under their roof. It gets better in the long run and there are others who understand your pain. Your feelings/struggles are valid and you are amazing for surviving.
Pardon my french, just gettin angry at the fact that anyone has to experience this stuff. To the first thing: Good for you! Love to see the happy endings y'all get when you escape these shitty ass birth-givers. To the second point: You're more than amazing for surviving. You are a wonder. Getting through abuse (especially the kind of stuff that gets onto this sub) is so hard. I mean, I damn near lost it just being close to someone who was abused (and it wasn't even compareable to the shit I've seen in this sub and the comment section of videos on this sub). Y'all are ALMIGHTIE (Amazing, Loved, Miraculous, Inconcievably Gallant Humans, Talented, Invaluable, & - as far as your determination & courage - Enviable). I know it's a bit redundant, but I needed to make it spell in a way that sounded like "Almighty" bc my brain loves to make acronyms that sound like words.
This subredit make me realize how grateful I am for my parents. They are divorced and almost always working but try their best to help out when I need it.
i feel bad that your parents divorced. good for them and you that they are here for you, it must be really hard to have divorced parents so since they try to support you that’s really amazing!
I'm proud of everyone who goes through shit like this. You guys are getting degrees, making art, getting awards and doing it all by yourselves. That is so difficult especially when the people who should be there aren't. You all are stunning.
The fact that medicine is seen as rebellious to god makes me sick, literally. If I didn’t take my medication for depression and anxiety I probably wouldn’t be here today…. Remember to take your meds! And I love you all!
GOD! GAVE! US! THE! MEANS! TO! MAKE! MEDICATIONS! SO! THAT! WE! CAN! DEAL! WITH! OUR! ISSUES! people really be acting like God didn't make all the minerals and chemical compounds used in medicines, or that he didn't design humans in such a way that these minerals and chemicals could actually help us with shit. It's throwing out a huge amount of his wonderful creation and it's fucking stupid. (I know not everyone believes in God or anything like that, this is specifically for those that do tho)
I never had depression or other such meds mainly because i refused to ever tell anyone about these problems of mine to avpid family collapsing in on itself. How i made it to 18 is a miracle to me
I like how in my religion there's two type of people, "God shall save us, our fate is already determined, and if we die because of this (insert problem here) IT IS FATE! I DO NOT CONDONE VACCINE!" And "God literally said in qur'an that it gave us literally knowledge to FUCKING USE IT"
It honestly took me so long to realize that my mother doing the venting to your child thing was toxic and I feel like I really lost my childhood before I should have because despite the fact that I’m the youngest, she constantly vented to me from a very young age. Not only that but some of the things she vented about that happened in her childhood (like having to cook dinner for the fam at a young age) were things I had to do to avoid her wrath (like when she would come home from work and scream at everyone for everything and complained about how the kitchen was “a mess” and then refuse to make dinner)

And he has smoked around me my whole life despite me having asthma and claims “it does nothing its harmless.” Gotta love giving your own son lung cancer :)

I have a friend IRL who is always grounded like he doesn't have to do anything to get grounded its like the roles of getting grounded and haveing free time have been reversed.
Growing up, I was never allowed to spend my money. My mother would always say "No, you don't need that, you're not spending your money on it!" It was to the point that, as soon as I was old enough to have financial freedom, I spent all the time, and haven't been able to stop, and she wonders why I have money issues.
Kinda same thing but a little different. My family was always really poor and i knew that so never in my life have i asked my mom for anything. The first time i earn my own money on the internet (was about 100$) i was really proud of it and told my mom. She then asked me to give ALL of it to her and when i said no, she tried to manipulate me. It wouldn't even be a big deal if she asked for just 1/5th of it, i would've surely given that much, but ALL of it? absolutely insane.
i feel you. my parents wouldn’t let me spend the money i earned, saying that i’m throwing away my money and if i bought it they could throw it away if they wanted because it’s a waste of money anyway. just remember that you are loved by someone, and if you don’t think so, i can be that someone!
It had the complete opposite effect on me. I've never asked for a lot of things in the first place, so when I had managed to save up a little money, I asked if I could spend it on a game (otherwise it would've just been on candy, no big deal). Even considering it was my own money, they didn't let me spend it. What happened to it? I just never used the money that I received on my birthdays, and now they're outdated, so I can't even use them. In my case, I have no sense of spending money at all, I've become some sort of ultimate cheapskate that won't be caught buying anything unless I'm on the verge of death
Had a similiar experience. As children we were supposed to get an allowance. Except she never actually paid us anything and whenever we would ask for it she would promise to pay all her debt back to us in one go. We are nearly 22 and that hasnt happened yet. For my brother this resulted in him immediately spending all of his money once he got some as a gift or after he started working. He still has major issues with budgeting and his girlfriend handles all of their money because of It (they live together). Meanwhile I barely ever spend any money on anything that isnt immediately necessary, even though I do have an income now. I dont even know why that is. I am fully capable of buying stuff, its just that I have literally no desire for treating myself to some small stuff. Anyways my mom complains about my brothers financial ineptitude, and I always get weird looks from her when she visits and sees that my apartment is basically barren, my fridge always almost completely empty, and the lack of snacks or sweets to offer guests. She doesnt see how its her fault. She just thinks we are weird.

Due to how neglected I was as a child I wasn't taught how to bathe myself until I was over 13 years old. When I was a child it was my older brother's responsibility to take care if me as my mother was horribly sick and depressed and her husband couldn't be bothered. When he moved out at 18, when I was 5, I was left to care for myself mostly and raise my little brother myself, making sure he got fed, clothed, made it up in the mornings for school, etc. But because of the lack of parental guidance when it came to self care and responsibility for me in certain aspects I didn't learn how to take care of myself, didn't learn how to bathe on my own, clean, clothe myself I knew how to do, but other than that I had to learn it myself and teach my brother what I knew. I can still remember my mom and especially her husband scolding me for being the only one to take care of him, saying "That's my responsibility you little poo" or "Don't you dare try to act like the adult around here, you trying to tell/show him you're better than me?!" And so on. I'm almost 16 now and already packing my stuff to move out in just 10 months to live with my older brother

Here is a friendly reminder that toxic behaviour shouldn't be blamed on mental illnesses because having a mental illness doesn't excuse being an @ss. Also it stigmatizes these disorders and makes it way harder to live with them, people are getting attacked you because of the stigma around their disorders especially npd (narcissistic personality disorder), aspd (anti social personality disorder) and bpd (borderline personality disorder) but every other one too. Also terms like sociopath and psychopath are also terms for people with specific personality disorders and should only be used by those with these disorders. And certainly not as an insult. I hope that it's understandable what I meant and that my English isn't too bad.

One time my mom got mad at me for not answering the phone. The reasoning was that I was asleep. She knows I’m a deep sleeper too. I told her that and she freaked out and said, “I don’t care, answer your FUCKING phone when I call you!” She did this right to my face, and she got mad at me just cause I was ASLEEP.
i can relate so much. my mum told me every time she wants to end herself and she would always get drunk around me and at some point she even said she can finally commit ending herself once i graduate which lead to me failling but she always refuses therapy and says everything is normal until her next breakdown. so yeah i went no contact after a lot of struggles and i finally noticed that this behaviour isn't normal.
Your mother is showing clear signs of a depressive mood disorder. This is the equivalent of periodically vomiting up blood. As someone said to me, almost 29 years ago, "If a doctor told you that you needed to go to the hospital for emergency surgery, you wouldn't be sitting here debating about it." Point being: just because it's mental instead of physical doesn't make it any less critical, or deserving of care. _sigh_ I wish you well. While I never went down the substance abuse road, I have experienced what you're mother is going through (if she's suffering from a mood disorder). I've also been lucky and had successful treatment. I hope that you can get her help. But first: take care of your own mental health as best as you can.

For the longest time I thought that my dad (I lived with him for the longest time because my mom decided to leave) was the perfect dad and that I was the problem and a horrible ungrateful child. He literally told me word for word: "since you moved out, everything is better. I hope you finally understand that you were the problem." Parents are great.
I once had a friend who's father I think nearly sent her to ABA therapy (in case you don't know what ABA therapy is, it's a therapy for People, usually children, with Autism/ADHD (it's much more commonly used on Autistic kids though) where basically they traumatize them into hiding their Autistic/ADHD traits and behaviors (basically the gist is that they strap the person into an electric device and if they display a reaction or do something that the practitioner sees as the wrong thing to do, they get an electric shock)) her mother shut it down though.
@@lucyla9947 I go to ABA therapy currently (every Friday usually). That's _not_ what it is. Not in the _slightest._ I'm pretty sure that the dad lied about it, because he's _so_ wrong. Edit: I probably should have said this, but I do it because Autism, and it's honestly pretty great. And by _no_ means are electric chairs involved.

Sounds like the conversion -therapy- abuse extreme Christians do to gay kids EDIT: though as far as I know electroshocks don't typically get used there anymore. They work more with shaming, harmful (auto-)suggestion and general psychological (plus sometimes physical) abuse. But the idea is the same: break the individual to act "normal" instead of recognizing their needs and enabling them to live their lives normally.
I feel so bad for these kids. My kids are around the same age and although I miss my little children who needed me all the time -and that hurts like hell, that’s my problem, not theirs. My dearest wish is for them to become happily independent and to find their best destiny and identity. They make me so fucking proud every day!
you are the best parent for a young adult. we need more parents like you. i hope you have good health for as long as possible, and just remember you are loved!
17:40 Yk what I find sad? My parents- instead of looking down on this, they would look up to it and joke about doing the same to me- then most likely bring it up every time I fail- which trust me in their eyes is often
As a parent of a 6 year old boy, he gets to have privacy if he wants to be left alone. It is sad when teenagers and adult children are treated so bad by their parents. All children deserve privacy.
To be honest the most important reason why i watch The Click is, that he pauses the videoand takes time to talk about the topic in a serious way (especially when its a more complex topic) and helping me to understand other people.
I remember my sister turning the lights off a lot while I was in the shower and it got to a point where I freak out if the lights go out on their own while I’m showering and my boyfriend has helped me learn that it’s okay when it happens. He has also helped me unlearn a lot of toxic traits and showed me that families don’t treat each other like trash.
In the late 1980's my brother and I found ourselfs at a party in the middle of Sweden. At the party, there were also two australian guys, 16 years old or so. When asked how two young guys from Australia, happened upon this party next to the lake Siljan, they surprised me a little. I can't really tell if they spun the yarn or not, ie made the story up, but this were answer: One day their parents summoned them, and proceeded to tell them that they had had it. Fed up! So they gave each boy $5000 australian, and told them to "get lost" for a while. So they did...
how nice of their parents, when my parents finally ''had it with me, I was about 2 I guess, and they just turned the two first decades of my life into a living hell :)

The father who talked about his guns reminded me of something. There is always a culture shock when americans talk proudly of their guns. I think other americans already probably view them as a bit weird but for me a German it feels like reading the text from a potential mass shooter.
Yeah, same. Like, I know not every American is like that, but I've seen an awful lot of americans proudly displaying their weapons and talking about hurting/attacking people with them. My dad bought one of those firework guns (which are build in a way that they can't possibly shoot bullets) and he actually needed a paper from his local police saying that he was allowed to transport it in a car to his home. American gun culture scares me
@@draalttomfp6902 Yeah but it really shouldn't be that way, right? No one should need a weapon to feel safe, that just shows how badly things are going
18:42 my dad was like this with sleeping with him too. I was terrified to sleep alone because of him but he made me so uncomfortable. I was about to start my freshman year of high school when I was finally able to sleep alone and he would STILL try to scare me or come up with excuses for me to sleep in his bed with him.

This should be a prerequisite for having kids: imagine they are opposed to everything you stand for and love everything you hate, and nothing you do or say will ever change them. If you can't still love them and raise them with caring, do NOT proceed. A good parent looks forward to seeing who their child will be, not trying to force a mini-me to happen.

The one about where the mother sat on a bed and called her kids body her body is literally my dad, he's away in Indonesia currently but before that he used to lift my bra strap and laugh at me when I told him he needs consent to do that. He said "Why not? I'm your dad." Fr that meme was relatable. Quick edit, soon after the last time he did that I told a school counsellor about it and she called up my parents to tell them how upset I was, he's stopped (although I wonder if it's only because he's away) but didn't address anything before he left for Indo.
14:20 This woman’s mother is definitely bipolar. My grandma and two of my dads ex’s are bipolar, so I see the obvious signs. Yes Ive done my research as well when finding out abt my grandma being bipolar. But anyways, I hope this woman’s mother gets the help she needs.
24:30 best way I've ever seen it put is that "Living life to its best is just being able to say 'Yeah, I did stupid stuff. What of it?' without risking security." Love that quote to this day. I watch r/InsaneParents just to remind myself that there are people who don't get to do that because it's that piped, gives me the motivation to stand up and proverbially stomp these - for lack of a better term - birthers (let's be honest, no person who is the subject of a r/InsaneParents post deserves to be called a parent) into the dirt.
I don't like how called out I feel when her makes the insane parents videos. It still boggles my mind that y'all are allowed to eat cereal. In their house anything that has wheat or sugars is banned or you are put down for eating it.

Me, scared(not of punishment, of yelling): "Mmom please I didn't yell" Mom: "Why do I even try you clearly like your grandmother more just go live with her (she threatens to give us up to our grandmother if she's mad, even if it isn't directed at us)"

i get making jokes with your kids- a friend of mine has a really jokey relationship with his kids, but they tease each other (i think it's important- he laughs at their jokes about him, just enjoying the time with his kids) *kindly* it's fun & ofc not about shit they are struggling with. when i see the amusement the kids get teasing the parents, or their laughs when they get targetted, it's easy too see how different it is when it's just a family having fun & i envy them as much as i'm happy to see it.
@@sjs9698 Sometimes I wanted to make myself believe that she's just joking like that. But just a month ago actually, after a big argument, I had to accept that she was just being toxic and hurting me. I moved out now and safe to say, things slowly get better. It's hard, but the only thing I could do after years of trying to make this relationship with my mom work. It didn't work, sometimes it just doesn't.
And remember, everyone. You don't need parents THIS bad for them to qualify as bad. If they have hurt you physically or mentally more than necessary, they are bad parents. Many things count as abuse. Spanking (belt or no belt,) unnecessary yelling over mistakes, physical or emotional neglect, poor education, lack of acceptance, overly controlling, overly protective, not protective enough, and more. The only thing they need to do is make you unhappy. If you believe their actions against you are unjust and have impacted your life negatively, they have failed as a parent.
If they've allowed your siblings to abuse you and neglected your mental problems...
I resonate with this, really, but
"The only thing they have to do is make you unhappy",
while cathartic, seems really unfair. Like, my father wasn't great, and he made us all unhappy many times, but I didn't see him as bad, just broken. And my mother, who is by all accounts a decent mother and human being, has made me unhappy many times growing up, sometimes even for things I couldn't be blamed for, and I couldn't call her a bad parent by a long shot.
Being unhappy is a part of life. Finding your way back to happiness is too, and I think that's what a bad parent can't do: they can't bring that happiness back.
I love my dad, but mom makes me so mad. Why are they still married?

my dad is literally just a lazy narcissistic asshole and seems to like taking things out on me especially (in comparison to my younger sister)
my mom is definitely not perfect but she's a lot better and open to challenging her own views and stuff
she asks him to help do house chores and stuff and he either says "yeah yeah in a minute" and doesn't do it or tells my sister and me to do whatever it is and yells at us if we don't immediately jump up and run to do the thing. One specific example: the second has happened a good number of times with dishes in the dishwasher and putting them away, and we've told him that he never does the dishes and then he goes "I do them all the time, you do them"
and he says that enough that he doesn't actually do them like ever
aaand I'm rambling now but one last thing- I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and my dad still says things like "you've just got to do it" or "you can space off like that, you need to pay attention" and like I've literally got inattentive-presenting ADHD and I drift off into my thoughts a lot and it's really not that easy to just not do it

... The mom who put their kid in a chastity cage...

Nope there's no laws against it. It's legal. I mean they could check for abuse but if it's just the cage its not abuse.

I HATE the whole culture around not taking medication because “god will heal you if you’re faithful” . I’m 28 years old and was just diagnosed with ADHD and autism last week, Not to mention the depression and the anxiety that I was diagnosed with a few years back on top of a couple chronic illnesses. All of which I need medication for and all of which I was shamed for taking medication for for one reason or another. If I hadn’t been in therapy for a few years before I was open about taking medication I probably would’ve stopped and it probably would’ve killed me. Shaming people for taking medication literally kills people!
I've been diagnosed with ADHD since I was in kindergarten. My parents were good about me being on meds, bc mom needed them too. But the outside stigma really kinda gets to me sometimes like "oh i should just be fine without these. I just need to try harder."

As someone with borderline, I'm so glad I started therapy when I was 11. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get diagnosed with borderline until you're an adult, but I got lots of anger management therapy and learned how to be better! Now I'm doing DBT (a special kind of therapy for people with borderline) and have an amazing therapist who specializes with this disorder!

" but you're not being social so it doesn't matter"
Ummm....yeah, that's the point. Social anxiety causes people to avoid social situations. If they have help with it, they can socialize more.

The click actually was one of the factors that made me seek therapy for the abuse I suffered at the hands of my mother. "Family is a nice starting point but you're not obligated to take abuse because you're blood related." Really stuck and I'm happy to say I'm doing better mentally.
Also, to those dealing with insane parents and are under their roof. It gets better in the long run and there are others who understand your pain. Your feelings/struggles are valid and you are amazing for surviving.
Aw I’m so glad this channel helped you!
Pardon my french, just gettin angry at the fact that anyone has to experience this stuff.
To the first thing: Good for you! Love to see the happy endings y'all get when you escape these shitty ass birth-givers.
To the second point: You're more than amazing for surviving. You are a wonder. Getting through abuse (especially the kind of stuff that gets onto this sub) is so hard. I mean, I damn near lost it just being close to someone who was abused (and it wasn't even compareable to the shit I've seen in this sub and the comment section of videos on this sub). Y'all are ALMIGHTIE (Amazing, Loved, Miraculous, Inconcievably Gallant Humans, Talented, Invaluable, & - as far as your determination & courage - Enviable).

It honestly took me so long to realize that my mother doing the venting to your child thing was toxic and I feel like I really lost my childhood before I should have because despite the fact that I’m the youngest, she constantly vented to me from a very young age. Not only that but some of the things she vented about that happened in her childhood (like having to cook dinner for the fam at a young age) were things I had to do to avoid her wrath (like when she would come home from work and scream at everyone for everything and complained about how the kitchen was “a mess” and then refuse to make dinner)

My dad is unfortunately one of these insane parents, as he has a list of issues he has also made me do horrid chores that i dont think any child should have to do.

Sorry that happened to you man ☹️ hope you’re ok
Rip your dad. He is going to have lung cancer. But you try to get away from him while he is smoking.
My mom also smokes around me all the time, she even smoked while pregnant with my brother. I don't know how we're still alive
My mom smoked when she was pregnant with me and when I was born but AS SOON as she found out she was pregnant with my sister,she stopped. Gotta love favoritism

"I joined the sub Reddit Because I think its relatable"
The parents: it's your daily spanking time!
I have a friend IRL who is always grounded like he doesn't have to do anything to get grounded its like the roles of getting grounded and haveing free time have been reversed.
Growing up, I was never allowed to spend my money. My mother would always say "No, you don't need that, you're not spending your money on it!"
It was to the point that, as soon as I was old enough to have financial freedom, I spent all the time, and haven't been able to stop, and she wonders why I have money issues.
I feel this so hard. It's. A real problem
Kinda same thing but a little different.
My family was always really poor and i knew that so never in my life have i asked my mom for anything.
The first time i earn my own money on the internet (was about 100$) i was really proud of it and told my mom. She then asked me to give ALL of it to her and when i said no, she tried to manipulate me. It wouldn't even be a big deal if she asked for just 1/5th of it, i would've surely given that much, but ALL of it? absolutely insane.
i feel you. my parents wouldn’t let me spend the money i earned, saying that i’m throwing away my money and if i bought it they could throw it away if they wanted because it’s a waste of money anyway. just remember that you are loved by someone, and if you don’t think so, i can be that someone!
It had the complete opposite effect on me. I've never asked for a lot of things in the first place, so when I had managed to save up a little money, I asked if I could spend it on a game (otherwise it would've just been on candy, no big deal). Even considering it was my own money, they didn't let me spend it. What happened to it? I just never used the money that I received on my birthdays, and now they're outdated, so I can't even use them. In my case, I have no sense of spending money at all, I've become some sort of ultimate cheapskate that won't be caught buying anything unless I'm on the verge of death
Had a similiar experience.
As children we were supposed to get an allowance. Except she never actually paid us anything and whenever we would ask for it she would promise to pay all her debt back to us in one go. We are nearly 22 and that hasnt happened yet.
For my brother this resulted in him immediately spending all of his money once he got some as a gift or after he started working. He still has major issues with budgeting and his girlfriend handles all of their money because of It (they live together).
Meanwhile I barely ever spend any money on anything that isnt immediately necessary, even though I do have an income now. I dont even know why that is. I am fully capable of buying stuff, its just that I have literally no desire for treating myself to some small stuff.
Anyways my mom complains about my brothers financial ineptitude, and I always get weird looks from her when she visits and sees that my apartment is basically barren, my fridge always almost completely empty, and the lack of snacks or sweets to offer guests.
She doesnt see how its her fault. She just thinks we are weird.

Due to how neglected I was as a child I wasn't taught how to bathe myself until I was over 13 years old. When I was a child it was my older brother's responsibility to take care if me as my mother was horribly sick and depressed and her husband couldn't be bothered. When he moved out at 18, when I was 5, I was left to care for myself mostly and raise my little brother myself, making sure he got fed, clothed, made it up in the mornings for school, etc. But because of the lack of parental guidance when it came to self care and responsibility for me in certain aspects I didn't learn how to take care of myself, didn't learn how to bathe on my own, clean, clothe myself I knew how to do, but other than that I had to learn it myself and teach my brother what I knew. I can still remember my mom and especially her husband scolding me for being the only one to take care of him, saying "That's my responsibility you little poo" or "Don't you dare try to act like the adult around here, you trying to tell/show him you're better than me?!" And so on. I'm almost 16 now and already packing my stuff to move out in just 10 months to live with my older brother

Here is a friendly reminder that toxic behaviour shouldn't be blamed on mental illnesses because having a mental illness doesn't excuse being an @ss.
Also it stigmatizes these disorders and makes it way harder to live with them, people are getting attacked you because of the stigma around their disorders especially npd (narcissistic personality disorder), aspd (anti social personality disorder) and bpd (borderline personality disorder) but every other one too.
Also terms like sociopath and psychopath are also terms for people with specific personality disorders and should only be used by those with these disorders. And certainly not as an insult.

Your mother is showing clear signs of a depressive mood disorder. This is the equivalent of periodically vomiting up blood.
As someone said to me, almost 29 years ago, "If a doctor told you that you needed to go to the hospital for emergency surgery, you wouldn't be sitting here debating about it." Point being: just because it's mental instead of physical doesn't make it any less critical, or deserving of care.
_sigh_ I wish you well. While I never went down the substance abuse road, I have experienced what you're mother is going through (if she's suffering from a mood disorder). I've also been lucky and had successful treatment. I hope that you can get her help. But first: take care of your own mental health as best as you can.

I can't really tell if they spun the yarn or not, ie made the story up, but this were answer:

I was about to start my freshman year of high school when I was finally able to sleep alone and he would STILL try to scare me or come up with excuses for me to sleep in his bed with him.

AND I got vaccinated yesterday, I have still no side effects, and even if I had, it would be worth it...
I had a headache and mild fever (36 low 39 max) a week later i was just fine
People need to actually understand how a vaccine works
Wow... I didn't think male chastity belts existed (any more). I've seen one in a TORTURE museum in Belgium.

Some Dude: "If the shot actually saved lives, they would be priced so high that you literally could not afford them, you know like insulin."
Me: *slowly fades away because apparently I cant pay the insulin i was injecting for the last one and a half years*
Well the insulin is in hundreds, and as a not american, that is thousands in my currency, so he does have a point.

When that massive one about the overbearing mother showed up I got through probably 5 - 7 minutes of it before I was like "Ok that's enough" and just turned the video to 2x speed. I truly commend your dedication to be able to read all of that nonsense
This should be a prerequisite for having kids: imagine they are opposed to everything you stand for and love everything you hate, and nothing you do or say will ever change them. If you can't still love them and raise them with caring, do NOT proceed. A good parent looks forward to seeing who their child will be, not trying to force a mini-me to happen.
Parental unit: You are always on that frickin phone.

The one about where the mother sat on a bed and called her kids body her body is literally my dad, he's away in Indonesia currently but before that he used to lift my bra strap and laugh at me when I told him he needs consent to do that. He said "Why not? I'm your dad." Fr that meme was relatable.
Quick edit, soon after the last time he did that I told a school counsellor about it and she called up my parents to tell them how upset I was, he's stopped (although I wonder if it's only because he's away) but didn't address anything before he left for Indo.
Oh dear, I hope you're doing okay?

14:20 This woman’s mother is definitely bipolar. My grandma and two of my dads ex’s are bipolar, so I see the obvious signs. Yes Ive done my research as well when finding out abt my grandma being bipolar. But anyways, I hope this woman’s mother gets the help she needs.

Hello Steve
24:30 best way I've ever seen it put is that "Living life to its best is just being able to say 'Yeah, I did stupid stuff. What of it?' without risking security." Love that quote to this day. I watch r/InsaneParents just to remind myself that there are people who don't get to do that because it's that piped, gives me the motivation to stand up and proverbially stomp these - for lack of a better term - birthers (let's be honest, no person who is the subject of a r/InsaneParents post deserves to be called a parent) into the dirt.
I don't like how called out I feel when her makes the insane parents videos. It still boggles my mind that y'all are allowed to eat cereal. In their house anything that has wheat or sugars is banned or you are put down for eating it. (One of my favorite things to make as a snack is banana cereal, being that I can't make real cereal, which is diced bananas in milk, yeah, that's really unhealthy and will kill me) I'll be going to therapy for a while, that's for sure.
Figured I would edit and say it's my mom who is like this, not my dad. He's perfectly chill, and accepts me as trans.
Hey, uf you fell like it, you can talk to me, I'll listen, take care bud

Me: *talking about a cool video*
My mom: *relates it to politics*
Me, calmly: "I don't wanna talk about politics, can we stop?"
My mom, yelling: "Then why did you start? Why did you just scream at me? Do you really love me? If so why would you talk to me with that tone?"
Me, scared(not of punishment, of yelling): "Mmom please I didn't yell"
Mom: "Why do I even try you clearly like your grandmother more just go live with her (she threatens to give us up to our grandmother if she's mad, even if it isn't directed at us)"
Your grandmother is like your mother? If she is not, then it would be better that you lived with her
@@Sr_ECO i think you have a point.
maybe call yr grandma & chat to her about it?
I can relate to the scared of yelling, not punishment. My dad always gets really mad and riled up, and when that happens, he acts like he's going to hit me or my mom. Sorry for the rant, but there's nowhere else I can talk about this.
@@Sr_ECO She's homophobic, transphobic, and lives with the drug-addict alcoholic uncle (my grandma does I mean)

"if it worked it would be expensive, like insulin"
....... How do they not see the problem that insulin is expensive?!?
Ik!! Like something as common and important as insulin has no right to be so fucking expensive!
Because he thinks that good things *can't* be cheap and/or should'nt be
It actually isn't expensive, you muricans are just being scammed big time.
@@diablo.the.cheater basic healthcare being free is nice, but American healthcare is the best in the world if you can actually afford it, and doesn’t have as long of a wait. So there are upsides. Not for me though, I’m on permanent disability so I have to wait an absurdly long time to get any healthcare, so I see the other side as an improvement for my status.
@@diablo.the.cheater that's the idea
Not to flex on everyone with unstable parents, but I literally cannot imagine growing up with people like these being in charge of my life, if your parents were like this and you're reading this, I'm so proud of you for making it this far stay strong

My mother crippled my self esteem when I was a teenager, abused the hell out of myself and my brother and one of my sisters, but her public image was a very sweet, loving mum of 4!

I met a Steve. He was a very polite seagull who didn't harass us for food and kept us company.
about the parents being angry schools are forcing kids to be vaccinated, When i was a kid, i remember the school telling my parents that i needed to get vaccinated for something (i have no idea what it was) that i had not gotten at the time, and until i got it i was not allowed into the school, and this was in the early 2000's
