I just had my therapy session today and she told me to put my daughter out and she said there is a video of Rickey Smiley I need you to watch because it's everything you are going through. She sent me this link and I started crying within the first 5 mins and omg the comments let me know I AM NOT ALONE and they give me some peace in knowing that I have to do this but I will have support when I do!!!

    My working teenage kids didnt get me anything last year for Christmas. I only asked for a Yankee Candle. A damn candle that cost $30 divided by 4 meaning the only had to pay $6 a piece for my gift. I would spend my entire Christmas bonus on my kids. I woke up Christmas last year expecting something and had nothing under the tree for me. This year I used my Christmas bonus and went on a Christmas cruise. I will be doing the same next year.

      Ebin Matthews, "Happy New Year" to you. I am so sorry that your children do not appreciate you; at least they are not showing it. You asked for and wanted so little (a candle). You give so much and I am sure, while you spent your Christmas bonus money on your children, you did it with a smile and you felt good inside. This feeling is what caring, loving parents feel, when they do what they do for their children. I am a Social Worker and I work with children in foster care; brought into the system by CPS. Believe me, I have seen children who have been abused and neglected and wish someone cared about them. These foster children would appreciate someone spending "one dollar" on them. Hopefully, one day your children will see the blessing of having you; a loving parent. God bless you and "keep" taking those cruises. You deserve to relax and to be treated well. Take care.

      @Amore Beauty sweetheart first let me say I'm so very sorry for your loss. The pain of loss can do a number on our every day life. You are going to have to allow yourself the opportunity to grieve. The only way to get through it, is to go through it, and it is hard. No magic cure or time frame. It hits you in waves sometimes seemingly out of nowhere.
      Honey I don't know why you blame yourself but you should not. It is not healthy. You may have some guilt that is normal it's just the way the mind works, but dont blame yourself. Allow yourself to laugh and cry at memories it's therapeautic. Feel what you need to feel just keep walking toward healing.
      Now let me say this. My husband did not want to die. The choice was not ours. So you asked how I got through it? My answer is this, I KEEP LIVING. I do what he could not, I live life intentionally, appreciatively, and lovingly. That is my way of honoring him. This is how I keep fighting for myself.

      This is a bunch of BULLSHIT y’all parents can lay down a make a child but can’t even teach them the simples morals of life children are like sponges they only do what they see, why lay down and make a child that you are not financially prepared for then expect someone to help you raised the child, y’all mothers let These no good men into y’all lives and let them burden you down with children you can’t take care of by yourself the Bible says in the book of Ephesians 6:4 “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Y’all dont raise y’all kids right for one, y’all think just because y’all spend money on y’all kids they are going to respect you ? Those are just material things, a child needs their parents children can become hurt and tired of their parents bs to, supporting parents bad habits helping parents out when they ask for money parents can be ungrateful and jealous of their child too!! Mad that their life is fucked up because they decided to be with a man that don’t give to damns about them now u stuck raising a child alone hurt and lonely then meet another man and then put a man before your child..just to sum things up don’t LAY DOWN AND HAVE KIDS IF U CANT SUPPORT THEM TEACH THEM THE RIGHT THINGS AND LOVE THE UNCONDITIONALLY not just loving them and spoiling them just to prove a point to people y’all deadbeat parents love running away from responsibilities or when the children gets old enough to work then y’all feel like y’all don’t have to provide anymore 😒 then when y’all children become successful y’all want credit and feel like the child owes u something KMA🤦🏽‍♀️😭

Can't be ready when I go to pick her up to spend time. I told her that her mom is cool with that crap.. not me. She forgets my birthday.. Ok.. no big deal.🤷🏾‍♂ A few months later, she REMEMBERS her DOG'S birthday! Her pitbull... She posts pics and all. 🤦🏾‍♂I was debating on teaching her a lesson. Then she texts me because she's mad at her brother because they argued over HIS girlfriend. "Fuck him. I don't care if he dies. It's just me and my sister and my mom. They are the only ones who have EVER been there for me. Why don't Men 'protect and provide?' Blah blah blah. Why Keke Palmer has a mean boyfriend" Huh?! She 17. She doesn't know nothing about nothing.🙄 She always switching her views on life because of Social Media videos. So I knew what it was.
      Her siblings are jealous that she has a dad that's always there for her. So "Men ain't shyt now?" Yeah..I didn't even say a damn thing for her 18th birthday. A few days later, she posts a pic of her and her mom on Facebook, her whole outfit, cap gown, clothes...everything I bought because her mom didn't have time. "Thank you Mom for being the Mom and Dad for 18 years." Then her mom HEARTS the shyt. I was like..."Yooooo! Ok". I didn't say shyt. Unfriended her. Her mom still wants to be with me too. 🙄 That was enough for me. I could go to her house and check her and she will bow down and start crying and act like we cool. I ain't with it. Still love her but she gotta let Life teach her some things before we reconnect.

Listen to what Rickey Smiley said " DON'T LIVE IN BONDAGE " with your kids, husband, sister, brother, parents, Aunt. Uncle, no one. I'm 65 and I took my life back.

    This is common these days. Kids are growing up and taking over parents homes…. Many have zero plan to get out and others are returning over and over again. Don’t do anything! Don’t clean or help do anything! Can’t keep folks, spoons, bowls or cups in the house…. Parents are going through things they would not have even done when they were young. They are making choices in life and blaming everyone but themselves when the consequences come. It’s sad. It’s so sad. Good parents don’t want their relationship to be bad with their kids but they push it to that…. They are 25,30, 40, 50 and still on parents back. Parent can’t get a empty house these days. It’s sad. Family too! People take advantage of empathetic people…. It’s sad but you are right, if you want any peace you have to cut the cord and/or set boundaries. 😞❤️🙏🏽

She worked hard, respected and appreciated us for all we gave her. It ruined us, totally broke our hearts! Right before this happened, our youngest daughter came to us with all sorts of problems, which has caused immeasurable grief. We are held in bondage. We decided to sit her down and have the talk about setting a timeline for getting her ass out! We are just done! Listening to your video has lot a fire under my ass to get this done, because everything you said was spot on, the feeling she is ruining our life, health, etc. She is currently unemployed, but at least she is trying to find a job. She has an opportunity to go back to her old job in March, which pays well and has benefits. It is at this time we will have a serious talk and get her the f..u..c..k out.

    I receive this in 2021 both of my daughters 16 and 18 left my home to live with their dad because I won't allow them to disrespect me. My 13 year old son told his sisters all mom do for us I am staying with my momma! I been crying and asking why God I was at every PTA meeting I was at most field trips all games and practices I put on black history programs at my kids school I had them in church every Sunday choir rehearsal dance rehearsal and Bible study and took them out if public school and put them in private school and they haven't spoken to me in 3 months because I told the 16 year old no cell phone until I can trust her ! Her dad bought her a cell phone knowing my rules just to create chaos and it did!! She said that child support is supposed to go on us not to help you pay bills you need to go get a job that hurt me so because I chose to be a stay-at-home Mama married to their dad for 21 years because I wanted to see them do great and they have a generational curse on their family to where all the women dropped out of school had babies in high school I didn't want that curse to fall on them because all I did was work and pay bills and not pay them any attention so we made it work to where I left working in the school system and became a stay-at-home mama the dad has a great job. I haven't bought a name brand pocketbook or been to the hair salon or new shoes and I don't know when but that was the choice I made the sacrifice I made to see my children grow into greatness, and it got to a point to where I needed to leave with my children. I wasn't happy and that's what I did. it also runs on their dad side of the family how they fuss and curse each other and call the police on their mothers and all of that is normal to them but I don't believe in that you're not going to do that in my home! I have peace in the valley in my home but their dad wanted to create chaos in my home and that's what happened and I am really hurt but God is still in control. I have my son who needs me to not stress and stroke out over his sisters. Thank you Rickey for this my son and I we going on a vacation😷✈!!!!

The Bible speaks about this 2 Timothy 3:2! This is a spiritual war, the enemy hates ritiousness! Stay encouraged and keep praying for your kids. I pray they see the error of their ways and learn to appreciate and you respect you. God bless! 🖤

I gave up my 2000 sq ft home to live in under 800 sq feet. I'm living my best life. They call me everyday wanting to move in. Not today. I gave them warnings, get a job or I’m moving. I pulled that uhaul truck up, and told them to pack it and drove off. Love my boys, they are now 25 & 31 working and doing good. The 31 yr old has a daughter now. Sometimes we as parents want to protect these grown kids and we make them lazy and not accountable for their actions. They will be mad, but will get over it and do what they need to do.

    I am so glad to hear this because I cut my son off for his behavior. I am not going to die early for no one including my children. Since he told me F you and I stand it! Well I told him I am going to let him stand on it! 💯 percent. Totally cut him off my peace means more to me than drama. I pry God get him together because if not the streets will

    You speaking on what I had to do with my kids. Since they been gone I am about to graduate college, started a FULL TIME business that supports me and I don't have to work for no one else. Went on vacation to Florida and the Bahamas. I was a single mom and never got to do anything for myself and now that they are 20 and 22..... and I put they butts out I am living my best life!! I moved in a one bedroom apartment, don't even have room for them to move back! Decorated my apartment to look like a high end boutique. I told them I don't let a man disrespect me and I ain't gonna let them do it! Not only did I put them out, but I put trespassing charges on one. If she come over here she going straight to jail! Bye Felisha! I am singing🎵🎶🎤🎙 You better call Tyrone and tell him come help you get your stuff! But you can't use my phone. 😒
