- Have your parents ever told you something that, to this day, still makes you tear up every time you think about it? Our words hold so much more power than we realize, especially over others. But most of us don’t even realize that we’ve said something wrong until it’s too late and the damage has already been done. That’s why we’re taught from a young age the importance of thinking before we speak, a lesson we ought to remember even as adults and especially as parents.
DISCLAIMER: If you can relate to any of these signs, please do not take this feedback as an attack on your character. This video was meant to be a self-improvement guide for those of you who have been feeling a little stuck.

My mom said I have to be more like my cousin sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough
Yeah, comparison 😔
You missed a major one; "I don't love you anymore." This was often said to me if I was misbehaving, and taught me love is conditional. However, after the first time it was said, even though there were times afterwards I felt my dad loved me, it could never be unsaid. It 1) gave me the power to push him away by misbehaving on purpose, 2) I never believed his words about how he felt anymore, because I could see his feelings fluctuated, but sometimes he told me he loved me when he was using excessive force, and sometimes he told me he he didn't love me when he was crying because he said I hurt him. All that emotion was summed up in a single sentence. I got the impression he was a liar, and that if he really loved me, it wasn't a kind of love that felt familiar to me.
As an adult I often pushed people away. But I never, never used this phrase. I didn't have any confidence in my ability to recognize love, or truly to feel it. And I never believed romantic gestures, romantic words. My dad would hurt my Mom, and the next day it would be flowers and chocolate.
i heard cause i said so by my parents 24/7 and i thought they hated me😭😭
@@actuallyeli8768same like WHY DONT THEY JUST TELL US 😭😭😭😭
It's true that some parents only care about their children's grades, they say nobody's perfect but expects perfection from them.
The delicate irony of life ;-)
Unfortunately so.
And sometimes they only care about other people's grades only if they are higher. If they are lower they just say: "I don't care about others grades!!!"
But still use others as a comparisson with you, making you feel worthless.
True, no one is perfect, but they can be better and better
H Y P O C R I T E S !
"I wish I had never given birth to you!"
"You never did, Dad."
@DimDomBun They Sure do :(
Wow. Nice one
👏👏
“learn when to pull out then”
that's exactly what my mother says... i always reply with "condoms are a thing" just to make her mad, like she did with me the first time she said it
And they have the audacity to say "I never did that" or "stop lying to (that person) "
"Parents may forget but the childs mind never will" phrase by me (i think)
The worst that's not on the list. Is telling your kid "You can't do that, what makes you think you can?" Yes I was told this as a kid. Still struggling with the damage to this day.
Oddly enough... in me it triggered the "watch me" response.
"that person couldn't do it, what makes you think you can? Are you better than them?" now it makes me laugh hysterically for some reason
Im a very capable person in everything ive actually done in my life and yet my parents instilled that thought process in me and it keeps me from having the drive to move forward. Give been told several times that i should apply for a management position, or learn to play guitar because i sound like ID be a natural, or be a song writer. Thats when i get the surge of "I can do it why not?" But fades to "it cant be done, we already tried."

@@stellerate you are a beautiful person, God knows the plans he has for you, God bless you and your beautiful heart.
Seriously, Parenting needs to be a subject at school, so that kids will know how to look after a younger person. Would be a lot more practical than teaching things you will never use in life....
Yeah!
It will also make it easier to brainwash kids,
so that the kid(s) become a copy of you and not themselves.
(educated in children and youth work)
That's why : study and job are 2 different worlds. Why there is not lessons of mental health and life in school ?
@Tiger Art Ik, exactly. If I want to be a chemist, the Sciences will help, if I want to be an engineer, Maths will help. But it only benefits you if you want to go on that stream only. There is literally no practical stuff taught in school🙄🙄
@@Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes Yeah, it should be compulsory for everyone. Educating people does not reduce crime, empathy does...
"Man up." i was having a panic attack
Ouch.
Yikes…
This helps me shake out of it lol 😂 cause I'm outraged lol x
I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Never forget that you're allowed to have emotions.
@blockbusterhero2989 yea she's really supportive it's just that sometimes I'll mess up and break down, then she tells me to man up.
"What happened to my strong little girl"?
She grew up dad and got emotions, got more vulnerable, and started to try to accept herself
"everyone have problems, your problem isn't a big deal"
everyone has problems that doesn't mean my problem is less important I deserve to be loved.
Exactly. Bts taught me so much 💜 also Ariana is the definition of female empowerment 💅
It depends on HOW they said it and what your problem is. Some kids (and adults) are overly dramatic and don't learn how to be resilient or take care of themselves. Everything is a tragedy or a catastrophe. When I am discussing my own problems with someone, often I use brevity and humor. Because yes, we all have problems and we can overcome most of them and some people have it much worse. Of course it doesn't mean that yours or my problems are not important. Sometimes I will say, it is not a competition. Even though I am going through something really horrible right now, doesn't mean I cannot have compassion for your problem or feelings.
My mom said something a little bit like this-I was 11, I think. It’s the reason I don’t tell them anything that deeply affects me. ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
my mom said I don't have depression because I have the most convenient life ever, which is true. I think everyone has problems, but they're measured against each person's life until now. someone who's barely getting by every day might think that the rich whine about the stupidest things, but if they had been rich themselves, they'd also whine about the same problems.
I always used to say “your biggest problem is having a well behaved child that you think isn’t good enough and I still have to listen to you complain. So my problems deserve that too.” I was a very self assured child.
Before I even watch, I have been told by my mother that “I wish I never gave birth to you” I didn’t cry but I think about it a lot , im a guy if it matters or not
Of course it matters. :) I'm very sorry you were told that by your mother.
Or as my "you should never born"...
I wasn’t told this, but I know my birth tied my mom to my abusive father longer. My grandmother resented us after they split. Even thinking this is so harmful and hurtful.
I countered this dialog with positive affirmation & subliminal positive affirmation tapes about 30 years ago.
We’re not supposed to be aware of the statements, but I heard “You deserved to be born”
That powerful statement resonates still today.
That you are male matters. That YOU deserved to be born is TRUE. I hope this statement helps you. Also, look up a writing called “The Desiderata” read & repeat, repeat, repeat! We may not be able to erase those old tapes, but we can record over them these new, accurate thoughts to challenge the damaging words. You were powerless when you heard this. You are not now.
I hope this helps you
Hey, you're good enough to exist. I'm so sorry your mother said that to you. That wasn't okay at all.
And hell, it doesn't matter if you're a guy. You matter enough and you are valid!
My mom called me a psychopath and left me when I was 6 🗿
Every kid needs parents but not any parents needs kids
Me, an adult who got hurt by things my parents said, here to make sure I can avoid these with my own kids
Parents often say things that they'll never remember...but their children will never forget.
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
That’s the problem.
❗❗❗
Yep
Like when a parent calls you a beast of burden but actually uses the “bad” word?
"Because I said so"
"This is stupid."
"You're being ridiculous."
"You need to grow up."
"I never had this problem with your sister when she was your age."
Yes, I have a very loving mother.
this is the one
i have the same things, but it’s more with my dad
Me too and my sibling are her everything
Is the first one a bad quote?
@@akazienoel2009 Yeah, your parents shouldn't be guiding you under the idea that their word is good just because it came from them. They should be providing you with actual reasons, it encourages communication and not superiority, and means they see/treat you as equal. So "Because I said so" is the exact opposite, it's giving them superiority just because it came from them.
I was told by my Step-Dad, repeatedly, that I cost him so much money. I’d rather get beaten, which I was.
I always thought my parents were bad people, but watching this made me realise that they are even worse than I thought. Most of these I relate to, most of these were said to me, if not all. I'm so sorry for people that had worse lives too, going through all of these and more ❤
The funniest conversation I've had with my parents went something like this:
“You don't deserve half of the things you have.”
“Does that include my PTSD?”
That's not funny that's facts 💀

@@talonh.7416 Well if you are the kid you know it's a struggle to constantly being pushed away and never getting the attention you need. I know it's not the parents fault but, at least try to remember the things you needed as a kid.
When parents says you lie, whereas you don't... fell destroy.
"Every time I see you you,you are eating."
Yeah that was what my mother said to me
I was always told “you didn’t try your hardest…” to this day it’s a phrase that sticks with me when I fail at anything, even if i gave it my all. It’s really messed me up to the point where I just give up or over work at the slightest hint of failure
Oh how I feel you.
It’s a phrase I was told many times recently. Throughout middle and high school, I was an A and B student, but I was struggling from depression and anxiety due to bullying. Once I graduated high school, I was burnt out, but continued to go to college because I really wanted to. But because of this burnt-out feeling (along with other factors that worsened my mental health), my motivation and productivity plummeted and my grades dropped dramatically as a result. Since then, I dropped out of three different colleges because of everything surrounding this feeling. This school year, I stayed instead of dropping out because I wanted to overcome this feeling. My grades were still low, but I felt a little better since I took a step forward. But ever since I dropped out my third time, my mom was fed up with my grades being so low. And the worst part is that I’ve known for the longest time that it needs to change. I’ve known that I wasn’t doing my best when it comes to grades, and I’ve been beating myself up because of it. I don’t need another reminder.
Ever since I’ve been dropping out, every time I back out of something or fall back to bad habits, I think about how much of a failure I am. Like with my spending addiction. My mom has been getting on me about that as well. I recently bought so much that my account got in the negatives, and I felt like so big of a failure that I slept and wallowed in self-hatred and self-anger the entire day away. And once my mom finds out, she’s gonna be really mad. I just don’t want her to find out because I’m already feeling terrible about it and I don’t need someone else to get on my case about it.
I know I’m not doing OK when it comes to these things. That’s why hearing my mom say “You didn’t try your hardest to get better” makes me feel worse. I’m really trying to get better at my grades and my finances now because feeling this way and hearing my mom get on my case about them really hurts. I just wish that that’s not the main reason why. Because I know I am better than all of this. And it hurts because of that.
“You’ll experience worse, toughen up”
Whether it’s emotional or physical pain, you’re allowed to feel it. Just because someone “has it worse” doesn’t mean you can’t feel it. Pain isn’t a competition
"You'll experience worse," was very bad for me when I was suicidal because it told me that I wasn't going to be able to handle any more and that if I didn't want to experience that it would be better if I wasn't alive.
I'll be giving you worse tomorrow, so TOUGHEN UP by then!
Pain isn't a competition, but a fight that some of you guys can't fight alone. So try to seek help!! You can talk to me if you'd like, I won't judge you, I promise!!! ^u^

who tf says that, how can people be this stupid wtf
Lack of empathy
thats legit just mental
👉👈
my mom says that to me i literally hate her, i love her as a mom but i hate her as a person
my mom once said to me… “I’ve made a MONSTER” Basically calling me a damn monster. It still hurts to this day. I even told her that she is stressing me out, overwhelming me,etc and it was literally 3 DAYS AGO. and still doesn’t care. I just want love from her, not anger.
"You should be grateful for what you have, others are having worse than you." (Sorry for my terrible english)
It was the same thing everytime. This phrase, was always brought up whenever i speak to my parents about my own problems. It really destroyed me on the inside, making me feel like i shouldn't feel sadness or being depressed, and if i do...
then im just ungrateful.
I have the same problem..
When parents are unfulfilled as human beings, they either try to fulfill themselves through their children or are envious of their children's success. Such parents are selfish and care less about their children's feelings, passions and opinions.
My dad says I'm rude for sharing my idea and calls it offensive argue.
Children raising children!
Well I influenced, I don't wanna be like this, but I sometimes do this to my friends, im controlling myself now
:-(
Yup that's my mom
I hear “because I said so” and “I’m the parent here” all the time. And yes the results are accurate, I’m very defiant, sneaky, and easily aggravated by my parents
I ended up as the former; withdrawn, socially inept and really lacking in confidence, while my younger brother was the aggressive, rebellious and deceptive type. I've gotten a lot better in recent years but it was trippy as hell to hear those descriptions because that was literally me and my brother growing up
I live the same life as you 🙂😓
@@angelnavarro3387 Same happy ur doing better now all the best for future. U can do it! 🙂
Sameeee
Defiant and sneaky
SUPER ACCURATE
6 of these things are sayd to me and that "I am going away and never come back" don't even hurts anymore...
I’m a dissapointment, aren’t I? My parents are making me actually want to run away from home. But my sister is here and I love her. Shes the only reason I’m not depressed.
The divorced parent version of "I'm leaving and never coming back"; "If you don't like it here then you can go live with 'other parent'." That can hurt even more if the parent you don't live with is an asshole.
All my fucking life my divorced parents were too childish to talk to each other so I had to be messenger between both, and I got contradictory orders from both all the time so i ended up always disappointing one of them despite my best efforts. It was so tiring. I can't count the number of times i broke down in tears because I felt like I could not satisfy both of them. I always felt like I made something wrong even though I tried to make compromises so both of them are happy, never worked out. I'm 20 and living alone, but still to this day I get the "you prefer your other parent don't you ? Then don't come to me when you'll be in need i won't even open the door."
I grew up with my grandma and anytime she was mad at me or I wasn't who she wanted me to be she would say "you're going to go live with your mother."
My mom has said that to me.

@@SakuraPottage same
Overused
@DimDomBun same here 😞
5 + 7 for meeeeeeee
I remember hearing every one of these growing up apart from the last one. They didn't threaten. They just left.😊 My mother was 16 and my dad was 20. I learned to be independent, educate myself, to watch and learn from the people around me so I don't have to make the same mistakes and many other useful things from a very young age. I still have it pretty rough from what people say, with all my health issues, having days when I can barely move. But it's all normal to me. Like with anyone, some days are better than others. Another thing I heard alot was, "don't complain, it could always be worse." but not worded so eloquently. 😊
We push down instead of lift up, and we reject truth.
"Big boys/girls don't cry!" We all do, being able to express emotions openly is important and it is important to talk about feelings, teaching that you have to hide your pain and "be strong" "man up" etc can be very damaging!
Let's not forget the classic variation, "Stop crying or I'll give you something to REALLY cry about!" Thanks, dad.
Been told this my whole life. My mom believed that hiding your pain and not crying was a form of maturity and strength and throughout my childhood I was always yelled at for crying or gotten angry at whenever I was upset. So now it's difficult showing emotion and opening up around others.
Ur rude i wont stop crying like a fat baby thats what i tell them
I still get told that and they know that they’ve made me weak over the years it’s a scar that’s with me that never heals
“Don’t be such a crybaby” is one i have been told a lot by my parents. Made me believe for years that there is something horrible wrong with me.
My mom’s said “I’m leaving” multiple times and even tho she hasn’t left I’m still scared it’ll happen eventually with anyone else I get close to lmao
Same haha-
My dad never said anything like that but he did leave. (My parents are divorced) then come back like it’s nothing. Now when I fight with ppl I’m scared they’ll just pick up and leave me.
Same lol
My mom used to say that, but stopped when I was a teenager when I handed her a suitcase.
My parents said that so much I didn't believe them, then one day they did....
There back now but every time I do something and get in trouble I freak out because they left me (2x btw)
"Your problems are nothing compared to your sisters! Go and sort it out yourself!!"
I wasn't saying that I had it worse. I just had something that I wanted to talk to someone about, and with someone that I was told I could trust. And I had that spat at me.
Then, years later, I was criticised for not confiding in them. You can't win.
Now, to me, that comment shows comparison, favouritism, lack of empathy, lack of caring and a lack of decent parenting. And I've had it for my whole life. My sister is the golden child and I've lived all of my life in her shadow. I am the scapegoat and I'm very glad to be that in some ways.
I will never forget those two sentences and the manner in which they were delivered. They helped to open my eyes.
"Don't bother me with your problems"
"Why aren't you telling me your problems?"
I'm very sorry you had to deal up with something like taht, Just reading yoyr situation made me feel bad How can a parent do that to their child? I can't say I relate at all, because I atleast got to thrust in them but Noone should suffer for something like that I hope you can find or you found someone who cares about you, your problems and how you feel and that you are doing great now, It's only important that you don't forget this and make sure not to make the same mistakes
@@diegolozanodiaz7302 Thank you for your kind words. Please don't feel bad, I'd hate for that to happen. There are many good people in the world and they more than make up for it 😘
Yep all of it, my mom growing up always said these things, which led to all my siblings and either having anger issues or self esteem issues and anxiety.
She denies she ever says these things and with lie through her teeth to make her look better.
When I confront her about these things she starts getting angry and claims I always make her feel like shit, it’s why I can’t confront things.
"Your fine"
"Stop worrying"
"Your not trying hard enough"
"If your not going to do it, its nothing to worried about"
Caring more about if the things in our house than my physical health
Well if you ever make someone in ur house cry... Say its payback
“If you’re not going to do it, it’s nothing to worry about?”
Ah yes. I wish I could say this to my father without getting my mouth popped. If you want this house clean, you do you portion. Now that mom actually has a job, there is no reasoning behind ‘I’m the only one to do things around here!’ Plus, she’s the one that is involved in her kids lives.
Minor spelling mistake
This is my entire household 🥲
“Can you just look happy?”
“I had to cover for you again because you looked depressed, just try to smile more. I’m getting tired of covering your depression”
"Because I said so" gets my blood BOILING. That tells the child that they are obliged to do whatever someone tells them to do. Also, it sets the mentality that they could do anything they want when they're an adult, and children have to obey them.
However the only way to make obedient children is this.If the children don't want to break the marriage they better listen to the parents ... Beacause they said so!
@@marioskapetanakis i don't want to do something and shouldn't be obliged to do something without reason. also, we don't want _obedient_ children, we want _respectful_ children who know when to have a voice, and that their voices are valuable. to teach a child that their opinion is invalid is setting them up for self-esteem issues in the future. Respect is not obedience.
Side note: It's the parent's fault if the marriage doesn't work. Why? Well, the kid certainly didn't ask to be there, and is only doing what they think is right. The parent's teachings are the ones that will calm the kid and therefore calm the marriage. Putting the blame on a kid who didn't know better is terrible.
@@justyouraveragelimeenjoyer8675 well said!
my parents do that every day and my brother is ze favorite so if he does something wrong i get in trouble and i ask and they say bc i said so and bc of all this stress and stuff i think that caused my adhd 😌
@@Ima_Dead_Bat Tell them. Tell them how this treatment is from your perspective. It doesn't matter if they're the adult or not, you are a human being worthy of respect. "Because I said so"? Fight back. Respect is earned not due, and that does not stop for parents. "You're under my roof" they'll say. Remember this: It is not your obligation to respect your parents regardless of how they've treated you. At the end of the day, them providing for you is doing the minimum for being a parent. You are a human, and more importantly, their child that they are supposed to care for. That is not gaslighting. It's the truth. So tell them.
if i sent this to my mom i feel like i would be grounded from social media until im 18.
Speaking personally, the 'why didn't you..' one couldn't be more true. Not just 'why didn't you achieve x' but also 'why didn't you do x', 'if you had just done x' - the amount of self-blame I now have for everything after hearing those words so much is astounding.
*Hug* I'm sorry this happened to you.
Ever since I was 9 years old,
"You're just like your father"
On my 18th birthday, I was sat down and told all about how HORRIBLE he was.
Years later, I'm still thinking about it..
You're not the only one, my father did somethings and when my mom told me that, makes me fear of that
My mom keeps saying I’m like my dads family. And their horrible and it makes me want to cry 😭
Dawww bb, don’t listen to the fricker who told you that. You’re your own person; you have every right to grow, love yourself, and love other people better than how you had been loved. Hugs to ya
My dad cheated on my mom and left her. Later they got divorced. Sometimes when she's upset cz I didn't get the highest grades she says I'm horrible and ungrateful like my father and don't care about her at all when in reality I try my best to get her praise and do things I don't like cz she wants me to. She's never praised me. My relatives praise me because they like that I'm calm and obedient child but she tells them don't praise her for the bare minimum when she can't even get good grades. She once told me only if I had bigger eyes I'd be pretty and not this weird looking. It hurt since I was like 9 and asked her if I was pretty cz apparently my classmate (bullies) said I wasn't and I wanted truth from my mom
But it's expected since she herself had toxic mom and traumatic childhood that still affects her to the point she got hospitalised and I cried so much. My grandmother used to yell at her a lot and even blamed her for divorce when my dad's the culprit. Mom's always been a good child getting highest grades and friendly but she's still not good enough to my grandmother. I hope I'd be able to break the cycle and won't be like them.
"I'm leaving and never coming back."
Out of all the things mentioned in this list, this one really hits close to the past when my "mother" used that against me because I wouldn't do what she wanted. I am so angry at her. I am so angry of what she did, and I am grieving and sad at the fact that she will just continue to be a narcissistic, abusive, manipulative person. And I am reminded that parents are not supposed to be like her and my "father."
Hey, just know that family is a starting point, it's not a guarantee. I hope you find away out of that/ are out of that situation.

No kidding, my father did this to me so many times and when I was crying he would feel better about himself.
@@triciahenry4674 that's awful. I'm so sorry to hear that. You deserve better!
I can't believe people literally get satisfaction from the fact that they just tore someone apart or hurt them. But then again, people like him DO exist. I hope you can find a way to stay away from him. You do not deserve him. I don't mean it like a condescending way, I mean it like you deserve someone who does not treat you like that.
Mee tooo...My mom do that, but hopefully my father's was always there to help me, but things doesn't go it should. After years, my both mom and dad change, mom was good enough but something was wrong. My mom started to make me feel like my grades is the biggest thing. I mean my both parents did, I am not telling that I am ungrateful for what I have or my parents but the thing is that my both parents are nice but they doesn't care about me that much, as an teenager I am fully depressed, Don't know what to do, where to go..... at last just hoping that I will come out of this depression and also if you are depressed then hoping that you come out of this thing too.
And hope that your parents or your any close one try to understand you.
You left out "I'm not going to waste money on..." buying you detangler, taking you to swim meets, sending you to college, getting a babysitter, buying you dinner when you are hungry, taking you to the emergency room, making your lunch for school every day.
This hit like a full speed train.
I’ve been told these (and more) things by my mother and it hurt to watch this because of how much it brings back the memories. However, I am so glad to know that I am not alone in this, and that no one else is alone either ❤❤❤
If you’re not ready to have a child, don’t put them through hell just because you refused abortion or adoption. You made a choice. Now live with it.
How about don't tell people how to raise their kids and before you can talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk. Raise a kid of your own, see how well you do
@@debeb5148Unless it was unwanted, having a child is a choice. The entire point is that some people aren't okay with raising a child, why are you suddenly asking them to?
Fun fact: Why become first while trying to become the last is way harder smh
But how would anyone know because your the LAST

"What is it that you're waiting for? Will you listen to me if I hit you?"
I was going through a depressive time a few years ago and didn't attend my online school for about a term. I didn't understand why I was acting the way I did, but I had too many worries that I kind of just shut everything around me out. For the record, my parents have never been abusive and still aren't, but the parent who said that to me, has become shorter tempered and been having more arguments. Now, I'm 16 but those words still replay in my head all the time, and I'm always scared that he'd get physical when a conversation gets heated between my family. They're not lying when they say kids will remember everything.
Sorry about my trauma dump ;( *Virtual hug for compensation*
More things that can damage a child:
1.they always ignore you and never listen
2.they shout at you for not doing something their way
3.they tell embarrassing story’s to their friends about you
4.they don’t care how you feel
5.they threaten to hit you or hit you
(Edit: wow thanks for the likes everyone I hope you are having a great day!)
(Edit again: thx for all these likes I know life can be challenging because of ur parents making u have depression or anxiety but remember that u are perfect in ur own way and don’t let ur parents or something else tell u that ur not :D)
ahh the third i relate to, my mom always talks to people about stuff ive done and so on, even when im right there and some of the stuff, i really would want being talked about :/ plus im always scared that if i tell here something important shell just go and tell everyone else, cause both my mom and sister tend to not be able to keep things a secret, at all :(

I'm really sensitive to noises btw
One thing I'd maybe like to add to this: "It's my fault you're like this," "We parented you badly," "We were being too nice/We spoiled you." This indirectly says that the child is bad but also seems to imply that there is no way to change what has passed.
THIS
THIS NEEDS MORE LIKES
YES MY MOM SAYS "where did i go wrong with you"
BYE THIS IS WHAT MY MOM SAID TO ME AND MY BROTHERS-
"Be careful with your words. Once said, they can only be forgiven but never forgotten."
If they're not forgotten then they're not forgiven. Remembering that bad stuff others did to you is called a GRUDGE. That shows you haven't forgiven them yet.
True
I was never asked for forgiveness
Christianity was explained as if you cannot forget, you never truly forgive.
Forgiveness is for you, not for the transgressor.
It releases your own burden of their actions.
I can see how a burden is lifted.

Mom guilt. I know I've said "because I say so" in relation to stuff like chores and I know my mother did to me.
Telling a parent not to compare kids with others is like telling a metal don't sink in water
I told my mum I want to a lawyer. Her words were, "Your grades aren't high enough. You are way too stupid for such a job." I'm now having conversations with my careers advisor at my school and she said, "You can do it, you would be a perfect fit in a law firm."
And at this moment and time, I don't care what my mum has to say about it, I'm making my dreams come true whether she likes it or not.
You will you just gotta keep pushing through, and your mom is only trying to get you to have better grades bc for some reason they prioritize grades over self esteem
I have a similar story, my mom’s against me getting an art degree because “getting a job in art isn’t reliable.” She was really discouraging, and all throughout my life I practiced art and being creative so it’s a passion of mine. I like turning people’s ideas into reality through an art piece, it’s why I never complain about art projects ( and always strive to meet the deadline, cause in real life they prepare you for real art work deadlines.) But now that I’m surrounded by other people who have similar passions they’ve seen my work and are confident and reassuring to me that I can get an illustration degree and go into that field.
I hate how discouraging some people are, because even if it’s for a good reason, it’s not good enough to cement someone down. Cause how will you or anyone know that they can’t do it, if they don’t try.?
Good..and you'll do it too m. You have the smarts, the determination and the desire.. that's why you WILL do it!! Congratulations and God bless you!!

Yeah you said so… but I don’t feel comfortable with your rules….
“YOU PROMIsED….”

Some people actually deal with this…. Regularly. Please be careful of what you say parents
My parents are always telling me I don't have to be perfect but I still feel like I do
Same...
"What are people going to say?" hits the hardest. I'm pretty confident a massive part of my lack of self-esteem and absolute fear of being and expressing my real self freely was caused by my mother constantly repeating this over and over to me. Ever since I was a teen I feel like I stopped living to conform to this stupid threat. I ended up being the pale shadow of my real self just because I hide as much of me as I can, because I'm absolutely terrified of being judged in any way. Both by her and by people outside. Suddenly all of the things I liked made me 'childish', 'stupid' or 'they'll think you have an uncaring mother!'. Good job mom, this is how you created the gray, apathetic, dull me you despise so much. You didn't treasure the colorful, confident, happy kid you once had and insisted for her to turn into this. Now don't complain if I barely exist.
I'm sorry you had to hear that. I don't really know what to say, but... I hope things get better, and that one day you can find pieces of that happy child inside you.
same, my mom doesn't say things, she's kinda nice. But in 5th grade I felt very insecure about my looks, actions, and my ODD. It really hurt when kids would laugh when I cried because I couldn't control it, back then Counselors were there and helped my problems but I'm still very insecure about my weight all the time, it's like everything I do makes me not fit in.
came out as lgbtq+ last year, my mom said it was just hte internet influencing me, and that it was only for attention and a trend, still hurts to this day
"I wish you were more like..."
I remember a story of my mother. She said that she has a friend who encourages her son to be more like me. The son of my mom's friend replied with: I don't care about grades. When I heard that story, I was not happy because I am a friend of the son of my mom's friend and he is honestly a nice person to be around with. Even though I was used as an example, I felt bad because that kid did not need to change anything about him.
This is what my parents used to tell me too. I have siblings and i'm the middle child, and i've often heard that the middle child is always the weirdest of the brothers and sisters. I am also often compared to my brother and sister. I feel annoyed when that sentence comes out again. I just ignore it because i like being myself
"Aint nothing hurt but your feelings."
"Because i said so."
"Im the adult, you're the child"
I accidentally slammed the heavy metal car door on my brother’s hand when I was younger and I know I could have broken his hand and I felt so guilty. My father made it so much worse for me just by saying this one sentence: “What the hell is wrong with you?” As if the torrent of tears already running down my cheeks wasn’t enough…he never apologised, but I understood that day that he never meant for those words to hurt me. To be fair, he was also having a really stressful day😅 I recovered from the hurt around 1-2 weeks later and I’m so glad that I focused on the fact that he never meant it because it helped me move past the fact he even said those words to me.❤My admiration goes out to those who experienced so much worse! I was lucky enough to have those loving parents that fortunately didn’t stay mad for long and I know that are others out there who don’t have those kind of parents, hugs for everyone who’s been hurt deeply by a sentence or word their parents have said to them before!🎉✨💛
#9: "Oh, he/she probably just has a crush on you!"
Teaching your child that "oh, if they are bullying you they probably have a crush on you!" Is basically telling them that abusive relationships are normal. My mom told this to me when I was 10 years old. I just got out an abusive relationship a month or two ago.. at first, I thought it was healthy. But, as time went on, I realized that it was definitely not. If you make a part two, can you please add this? It would make my day and it will spread the word.
It is so toxic and wrong that society teaches little kids that when a person likes you they pick on/bully you. That teaches them that people hurt those they love and should they enter an abusive relationship, they are going to stay in that situation because they were taught “when someone bullies/harasses you they means they like you!”

Ok but, WHAT KINDS OF FATHER OR MOTHER SAYS THAT TO CHILDREN
Kids if you reading this remember that when someone bullies you, you talk to your guardian or the principal
Parents always ask us to be grateful for them but sometimes I feel that they should realise that they are grateful to have us too.
Absolutely right...😢
Something i learned is often mothers do this listen, interupt, advice, leave. As soon as they hear something they dont like our words freeze and act as if we weren’t just talking. My family is my friends. They listen then give advice then listen.
Why should they be grateful to have us? We just bog their lives down by wasting their time, money, and energy.
"I wish you we're more like.." hit me like a truck... I've never realized i feel so bad about myself and my self-consciousness is just questioning everything i did as a kid. Even though I don't remember much of my childhood, i still remember these hard hittting words in my brain.
I also remember that sometimes, my mom is gonna say "why didn't you do this, why didn't you do it like this" I cried even as a teenager today i can only cry quietly or my mom will accuse me of trying to be the victim...
Yeah, I am still a kid, and I am constantly being emotionally abused and my parents are super strict, I can’t even touch the walls, they’ll stain them or something. I hate it, and suffer from depression and am suicidal, I managed to get therapy and that hasn’t helped, I really hope these videos can help other parents.

@@cv1148 I must agree. In some cases people are not able to prevent getting pregnant due to some mistake, or beliefs, or other things
But if there is some way to prevent the unwanted pregnancy in the first place, such as protection or even abstinance, I think that is better than having to bring someone unwanted into the world to suffer
(Just to cclarify, just because they are unwanted by the parent at first doesn't mean no one will want them, nor does it mean the parent won't change their mind. But well, they are gonna get pretty mentally hurt and feel really worthless if their own parents are not invested in them. So its better not to subject someone to this situation.)

When I was about 7 or 8, my so called father Herb Superb was always hollering about the way he expected me to work around the house. "Instant happy, instant happy, play play play, you don't want to do any work around here. I hope you never have to do something, you don't want to do it." For all of my life, I have had difficulty enjoying life, and have forced myself to do any number of unpleasant things I didn't want to do. Even when I'm aware of what Herb Superb said to me.
Number 8 hits home. Mom told me we aren’t meant to live together. But the alternative was my alcoholic father who I carried & cleaned up from when I was strong enough, until I was 25. I am autistic as well, the thought of being alone somewhere else is still something I deal with today.
Oh, & she told me she wished she’d gotten an abortion around the holidays when I was 5. Apparently she had one a few years before I was born. I still wonder how my childhood could’ve been different with an older sibling in my corner. Or anyone. Everyone knew but did nothing.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. Reading these just makes me weep inside. I'm so hurt very deep inside too. You're not alone. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was an abusive bully with the ability to cut to my soul with her destructive words. I just feel so sad reading this. I want to say to you that I love you and I don't even know who you are.
"Be careful with you're words"
"They can only be forgiven but never forgotten"
I fell this...
it's hard to be the perfect person that they want you to be, love you're kid's the way they are......
My parents were never there for me except when I was a kid. I had to do everything for myself. I was also taught that school was a gateway for big apportunities and could change your life. They always told me grades were more important.but with that I instantly never felt good enough. Or if they were there for me anymore
When you're at your parents' house you can't get the space you need...... Every child or person needs time to be alone......
(I'm not saying all parents)🙂
I once shouted on my dad cause he was saying that I am stupid and I know nothing without even listening to me and then he sad "this kid doesn't have any manner it's all because you (mom) didn't teach her manners"
And then my mom pushed all the blame on me that I ruined my day
I don’t think my parents care though.
And here we have my parents, after one says extremely hurtful things, the other one comes and tells me to "forgive and forget" and "now we're done with this" as if them telling me to forget and move on means I'll magically forget everything they did. Nah, I just learned to stay silent about it as talking about it clearly wasn't an option.
There's a thing that mostly my parents say to me whenever I'm crying : "You have nothing to cry for" . And it hurts hearing that from them after telling them not to.
my mom says the same thing to me
Hey, I hope you know you have every right to cry if you're upset and its okay to.
It does hurt when your parents invalidate your feelings me personally my dad says “stop crying it’s no big deal.” And when he says that it just makes me cry more no matter how hard I try to stop crying
My dad said that to me today, but guess who can turn off and in their emotions now? 😃
my parents always say that to me when i cry
"i wish you were not my son put it in your mind and heart i don't care" i cried 2 hours straight literally broke my heart and it made me realize that my mom dosent want me and i remember it till today
my mom always say something similar to 'im gonna leavre and never come back' .
she always says 'if im not here (or, 'if i leave') whos gonna be there to tell you what to do?' i feell like im not responsible.
she also kept comparing to my friends since im so skinny and i sometimes dont wanna wear a certain clothe because its uncomfy(leggings.) telling me that my friends look better than me. she also says 'you can do better' i want to be better. i cant be better. i tried to be better
I feel like the children are watching this instead of the parents.
What you think about yourself is all that matters. No matter what your parents do or tell you, remember to love yourself.

I'm a parent PLUS a victim of child abuse, so this touched A LOT harder then most might understand. There was times where I wanted to say "What will people think!?" But before I even started acting like my adopted mom, I shake my head and say "So what people think?....." and tell them how awesome, beautiful/handsome, positive, independent, amazing children they are! Pointing out the positive challenges that they themselves over come, even thou they saw a lot of horrible negative things from my ex husband and I. Them, themselves try to be my little heros. But I stand up and them know "Its ok kiddos, I ain't going to have him hurt you...." which they did explain when they got older that it hurt them not knowing what to do to help. I thanked them for trying but explained "There was nothing you could've done immediately, he could've come to you and with his hateful words. Even try to beat you to be scared to get help from the police or anything, it was best in my mind to keep you guys safe to make sure you where somewhere I can trust to go away for months on end. That way you guys didnt get hurt nor afraid to be in the house, and I was making a plan to safely get us somewhere safe permanently." Sadly back then I didnt have ANY help from my adopted family who was near by, my adopted dad was trying his best to do what he could do. Taking the kids to his place if big enough in Hawaii, or even sending money and food, clothes whatever needed to be done if they need it. I sacrificed a lot for them because the love and joy I bring to them was endless, so why put them threw hell when they dont need it? I promised myself I WOULDN'T for any reason follow my adopted mom's footsteps, and cut off the negative view point to my kids and made myself a shield for them. Yes I did come home with bruises, cuts and even wounds. But I know my kids where safe everytime, and my friends as much as they could help me a lot for them. Now I'm a grandma myself, and they have so much love. Even when I'm not psychically there, I try to keep up with their lives as much as they gave love to me. 💖

Omg are you okay?!
Watching this video made me realize how much of the things my mom did and said to me weren't normal, what saddens me is that I slowly started to realize that I actually took her word. Some children grew up in a household where they're constantly pressured and beaten to the point it'll just seem normal to them, but it's not. I was born with a disability that affected the functionality of my left side, I remember when I was just 13 years old my mom kicked me out for reasons I no longer remember but it was about my grades. A 13 year old with a disability was kicked out by their own mother just because of some grade. Messed me up for a long time.
I hope that other children or teenagers that we're treated badly by their parents won't change for the worse because of what their parents did to them. Parents are the people who will support and comfort their children not the cause of pain for their children
i cannot fathom, how much "what are people going to say" hit me, i actually cried
Two statements that my parents said to me that have stuck with me:
1) when I expressed that I was no longer apart of their religion “I thought we raised you better than that.”
2) When graduating with my bachelor’s degree “we never thought you’d get this far!” (I have a doctorate now)

I’ve seen that when a lot of kids ask "why?" The parent will surely say "Because I said so" I’m just glad to know it’s not good to say that to a child so I can be ready for when I get one.
My mom says it all the time!
I am highly against that authoritarian nature. Parents that do that don't care about their children, but about their power over their kids. They care more about complete obedience and respect rather than trying to help their child grow.
Me over here having seen my parents do all but one of these things. They say now that I’m older that they didn’t even do these things as I continue to watch to do them. It really hurts and makes me just want a way out. It’s really sad how kids are raised and then expected to not talk about the shit they went through because it’s weak. To anyone who has struggled with this stuff know you aren’t alone and I’m right here beside you, you are loved and worth everything the world can offer you. Never give up on what you want to accomplish and don’t compromise yourself for others, you are perfect just the way you are
Know wonder my parents let us do our own thing, no structure. Brings back so many bad memories. I felt so trapped within my family, no escape.

Wow. I initially watched this from the perspective of a parent wanting to avoid saying these things to my child. I discovered that I’ve heard almost every single one of these from my parents. It’s no wonder I developed so many mental health issues and self esteem issues. I’m healing though and I will be a better mother to my child.
