Glad to help you find the video :) I've really enjoyed listening to your streams and your coverage of Diane while I work so it feels good to give back. And of course, big ups to our homie Diane for producing this banger of a video in the first place.
Bro I don't even know this lady or what she did, this video is my first exposure to this situation and I'm about 30 seconds in...this comment already tells me everything I need to know about the woman LOL. RIP her daughter though. Edit: Even better, the daughter's alive but the relationship is in the ground at least.
I will be this daughter's mother in a heartbeat. This poor woman had to endure so much and at such a young age, decided to break away and live her life. Go ahead daughter! Be your best! Never talk to your birth mother again...she is a lunatic - stop and do not let her hurt you one more second of one more day.
Excuse me. I fucking care. I watched a video of a guy touring a death camp in Poland and it was so much more viscerally horrifying than I thought. How could anyone not care about people tortured, starved and murdered!? PS some were political dissidents???
@@joannegregory3024 BELIEVE it.. she's MAGA. and the only time they even talk about the Holocaust is to try to paint themselves as being persecuted and victimized like the Jews (and others ) were. It's the Nazis claiming THEY were the ones persecuted. It's White Privilege to the MAXXX. She says that the Holocaust doesn't matter, but THEN uses it an example to make HER appear to be the victim!!!!
This woman is a BLESSING. If not for her videos, there wouldn't be discourse on her wild ideas and horrific legacy. She unites people on both sides, but as a daughter who survived a similar mother, it's deeper... While this woman is the face of many parenting evils, she simultaneously outs herself WHILE lifting the burden of isolation off of us kids. Thank you Diane for your lack of self awareness, your big mouth, and your capability of uniting abused children with your ignorance.
I like your thankful viewpoint. Let's add onto that a round of applause for Max! As he himself pointed out, he had to listen to her MANY many times. Thank you for your service, bravo soldado Mexicano!
Such a good point! Been no contact with my "mom", for over a decade and I Never Knew I Could actually be this happy! When I met my husband,now been married for 22yrs, "she" hated him because he made me realize that my mom was toxic and a*used me since I was a child.. Even my husbands mother, has been more of a mother to me,then my own.. I love my mother in-law! She's taken me in with open arms and treats me like her own . I thought as a kid, that we should feel this bad, and that parents are bullies towards us,and fat shames us, because they try to help us . well, it wasn't.. When my husband complimented me, I felt awkward because I had always been screamed at or shamed for my looks . I talked to my therapist,and she said that I've finally felt real love, and hadn't when I was a child, so I wasn't used to it,and it amazed me.. I never knew how badly she messed me up, before I met my husband.. He taught me how to love&be loved.. When we had our kids, I did everything I can/could, to be the best mom to them.. And now, my oldest is 21, and he still calls me several times a day, and comes home many times a week only to spend time with us and his little siblings.. my youngest, still calls me the most beautiful woman in the world . He's 13!soon 14! My daughter is the absolute best too..I'm so dang proud, that I cut the cord,of the a*use I had to go through.. I was so afraid of being a mother, that I told my husband that I don't want kids, so that I don't ruin them ,like my mom did me.. he said, that I'll be a great mom,and still says that I'm the best mom ever... It brings me peace to know that my husband loves me,and truly thinks I'm a good mom,and that my kids love me so much!
Same Babygirl! Same! I’ve had the same as far as going no contact with my jealous, evil, abusive, violent mother and this continues to validate my soul. God bless you fellow sister in trauma. We’re fighting one day at a time and refusing to raise ours the same!
What she actually means is for her tribe to be Gestapos, Kappos and SS agents. Looking out for each other means doxing and harassing each others estranged children... you can see what she's doing. She's building her army/hive/tribe. And for her to say "let it go".. Please.. she's NOT Elsa... she's Eva Braun and won't let it go. She's only getting started. I fear for her daughters. Ironic for the lady who says "the holocaust doesn't matter' to employ the tactics and propaganda of the malefactors and perpetrators of the most horrific event in history.. which began by demonizing and dehumanizing one "undesirable" or "enemy" via propaganda, gaslighting, public speeches, etc. to rile up the populace to then strip those people of their rights, then their humanity and then their very existence.
Remember, the letter from the adult child was claimed to be "90% about politics" from Diane. I wonder if this video shows us what some of those "politics" were...
Diane is obviously a Trump supporter and right wing. It's why her own daughter cut her out of her life. Diane treats different politics as liking different pizza toppings.
But she's 'not that political' don't you remember? It couldn't possibly be her personal views and (loudly voiced) opinions that land her in a particular political category, nope. No way.
ikr? She's several different flavors of 'phobic' all mixed together in the nastiest 'cishet white Christian mommy who didn't wanna be one and has decided to make it everyone else's problem instead of fighting the patriarchy' casserole. No, you don't used canned green beans in your casserole. Or canned tomatoes. Damn shit is inedible. Canned corn, canned chicken, cream of mushroom soup, and covered with bread crumbs. Add peppercorn like a cultured bitch. Bland-ass cooks like Diane make white bitches like me seem inferior by way of Pillsbury Dough Boy complexion. She has no business in a kitchen or bearing my skin tone. I refuse to claim her. So does her daughter, hence the no-contact.
I do a test called the "Random Person Test" if you wouldn't accept the behaviour your parents exhibited toward you from a random person on the street, then the behaviour is unacceptable.
I have a similar “test.” I think we should treat family members at least as well as our co-workers. As a bare minimum, just say “hello, how’s it going?” “How was your day?” “Any plans for the weekend?” If you can’t even treat family as well as co-workers there is a problem and the relationship needs work.
@@aliciamerline4787 That's a great way to preserve your own sanity without anyone knowing you've basically cut them out of your life. I do it with some people, too. It can save us from a lot of unneeded drama. Lol
@raven4090 I wholeheartedly support you! My younger sister lived off of my parents until she found someone to marry her. Mom and her were co-dependent and really enjoyed ripping me apart every change they got When my mother passed away, she tried to move down to Texas with me. No thank you! She was 44 years old and still could not support herself!!! She has no children-get and keep a job!! Actually since I stopped talking with her, I am feeling much better about myself, as this lil loser held everyone up to a standard that she had no desire or ability to provide for herself. Good riddence!
People like her say, “Well, I just can’t say things anymore,” but the thing is, sure you can. What you don’t seem to like is OTHER PEOPLE using THEIR free speech to criticize YOU.
Absolutely this. The “good old days” they refer to are the times when people either openly agreed with them or were too intimidated by the first group to speak up against it.
25:43 Her cluelessness is staggering. She blames social media for modern problems while simultaneously seeding her TH-cam videos with every Conservative buzzword imaginable!
@@drewgoin8849 in her head she’s not repeating buzzwords and promoting straw men, she’s just “telling it like it is.” Which is an interesting sleight of hand that parents like her often use without realising it.
@@LaMorenitaDivina My malignant narcissistic mother (thankfully dead now) LOVED to use the "telling it like it is" or "I'm just telling the truth". So I started to tell her like it is and telling her the truth. She did not like it. 😂
Lmal narcissist are complete liars and hypocritical. They do nothing and people randomly accuse them of things then when you let them just talk..... they reveal themselves
51:20 I hate hate HATE when parents use the "Life is a gift." line when speaking about their kids, because they use it like they're owed something. Yes. Life is like a gift. It is something given with no expectation of return and can be used however you like. These parents feel OWED by their kids. "Life is a gift, and I gave birth to you, so you owe us." Nuh uh bestie thats not how that works. That's not a gift that's a LOAN.
It's the inability to comprehend doing something nice for someone else just because you want to. Love is transactional for her. She isn't going to do anything for anyone else unless she thinks she's getting a benefit out of it. And she is convinced everyone else works like this because she cannot comprehend alternate perspectives.
My common response to my mother when she said that was “I’d be relieved to return the gift”. She still doesn’t understand why I cut her off and moved to the other side of the planet. 🤦🏻♀️
@@jennanail You tell a narcissist, in concise detail, why you're cutting them out of your life and they till will make up their own reasons. My mother would do that to me all the time, every time actually, when I'd tell her to stop doing something in particular because it's hurtful. She just couldn't stop. And it was easy stuff. Well, easy to non-narcissists.
Diane's true colors were very apparent from her first video. The only people who ever found her sympathetic are other "estranged" parents whose children "ditched" them for "no reason."
I'm 41 and have gone no contact with my parents and my little sister. My parents were physically and emotionally abusive growing up, gave up their parental rights to me on my 16th birthday and I was sent to a group home. When I developed a drug problem after my first child was born, I let my son stay with my parents so I could go to rehab. When I got out of rehab, my parents kidnapped him and told authorities I abandoned him. I had to play nice with them for 13 years (they sued me for custody and won) so that I would have access to my son. But when he turned 18 and moved out of their house, I was free to say to them everything I had been holding back. My mom even told my son that the reason she got custody of him was because I tried to sell him for drugs. My sister has turned into the golden child and they have teamed up against me. My sister tried to get me to send my other 3 kids up to live with her until I could get things figured out here (waiting on a disability determination and going to marriage counseling with my husband). I politely declined (because I was not about to let them do it to me again) and then she went on the offense, texting my 12 year old daughter that I'm abusive and dangerous and she needs to get away from me, texting my husband a made up story about how I had a secret online relationship and sending the Department of Children and Families to my house. I blocked my sister on everything (my parents don't do social media so I just blocked their numbers). Ever since I was little, I just wanted someone to love me and accept me. That has gotten me into more trouble in my life than I care to admit. And it is hard cutting off family (my husband had to go no contact with his parents because they wouldn't stop verbally abusing me and degrading me to my kids). This will be the first Christmas we will be celebrating without parents (my son and his family will be joining us, and I'm very excited), and it's a hard thought to have. But I'm in therapy (and so are my underaged kids), and I'm learning to be ok with myself. I'm also learning how not to repeat my parents mistakes and be a better parent myself.
Wow. What a truly remarkable turn around for you. Bless you and your actual family 💜💜💜 I’m so happy for you all to have freedom from that hell of a life. No one deserves to endure that
Bless you. You’ve been through so much and come out the other side. Happy for you. I wish you a wonderful Christmas. You can now set the standard for being the kind of grandparent your own kids should have had, establish new family traditions ( or not), and just enjoy your own nuclear family. At this age, you get a whole new fresh start in life. I know you’re up to it! 👍🎄🎄🎄
Hey, Phoenix. Your story really touched my heart. I'm so, so sorry that you didn't get the love you deserve from your family. But you are so strong! Good for you for working on yourself & creating a better life for your children! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
I am a 56 year old white woman and a mother. I am from the same demographic as Diane. She repulses and fascinates me at the same time. That is the reason why I am commenting here, the algorithm feeds me vids about this hideous woman, she is my dark mirrior. I would LOVE to converse with her. She gets to hide behind the idea that people in her demographic would agree with her, but not all middle aged white women have bad relationships with our kids. So I am wondering how she would take it if she found out that some of us have wonderful close and connected relationships with our adult children? I would bet my last dollar that she would find a way to discount what I had to say to her, which is basically that she needs to be responsible for her own relationships and stop blaming everyone else for her parental failures. Sure, parenting is hard, but it is not really as hard as she is making out. The number one key to good familial relationships? Respect. She doesn't respect her kids. You have to give respect to your kids before they will respect you. Especially in modern society.
She would be very happy to take your money so you could tell her how I unevolved & sick she is. She does this whole dog & pony show to pad her checkbook. She will be leaving that person who dresses up as a man in some of her scenes & will be needing the cash to get the hell rid of him.
Another 56-year-old white woman here who has a mutually respectful and rewarding relationship with both her husband and adult son. And who is also estranged from my parents.
@@emcooper3031 I am sorry you are estranged from your parents. My father passed when I was 13 and all I had left was my mom. We were very close until I lost her a few years ago. I would feel sorry for myself, that I lost my father so young, but I have known too many people that didn't have a good father like I did. I may have lost him early, but I was lucky to have had him at all.
LOL can we start a "me too" movement here - honestly, I can't believe that someone our age can actually put this nonsense out there - and with a total lack of shame for it. And heck no, not one single thing she says is anything I agree with - she's a nasty horrible person - and I am 100% behind her kid for leaving her - I would too!
@@rsh793 honestly, as a young person estranged from my mother, who is of similar age to you two wonderful ladies, reading these comments has been so healing due to her abuse, I came to believe her insistence that it was "normal" and that everyone (especially those of her generation) would agree so a me-too movement of this kind would be awesome to see
I watched "Live Abuse Free"s reaction to this and every time i didn't think my jaw could drop anymore, I became a python just unhinging my entire jawbone. Diane really thought a lot of people would applaud her ignorant, racist, bigoted thoughts but obviously not since she deleted it.
Narcissist completly lack self awareness. If you disagree with her and hold her accountable you're a troll. If you agree with her however then you're wonderful. Just like a narc
@@VibinWithRunnTheSnowman Correct. Because Narcissists also lack empathy they cannot understand that people will have a negative reaction to their actions, views or behaviour. Some of them are genuinely bewildered when people disagree or think less of them.
The UCLA doctor wasn’t angry about DEI hires. He was definitely a jerk but was raging about students and residents no longer working unlimited hours after the work week was limited to 80 hours. He thought students were not longer smart enough because they were allowed to sleep. This happened after studies showed increased healthcare errors when doctors worked more than 80 hour weeks or 36 hour shifts.
This is, unfortunately, still a common POV among older physicians. Never mind all we know about the importance of sleep for memory formation and cognition. My response when I hear this? “Those trash expectations were set over 150 years ago by a man who was a literal cocaine addict. We know better now.”
Yeah... stalking one of her daughters on TikTok. If a man did that, he'd immediately be the bad guy....but she knowingly breaks these boundaries. She doesn't deserve her daughters. She deserves to be by herself.
Her referring to the eatranged children who commented as "angry" is rich, considering she's angry enough that her daughter is estranged from her that she has made multiple youtube series about it.
People like her will weaponize anger when it’s actually a perfectly sane and reasonable reaction to their behavior. We SHOULD be angry at your disgusting views and actions, Diane.
I think her issue with the concept of therapy is that she takes offense at the idea that children like her daughter end up needing life-long therapy because it indicates her failure or culpability as a parent. Therapy isn't designed to keep patients hooked on treatment or make adult children choose estrangement when it isn't necessary for their well-being. Childhood trauma often has life-long consequences and requires many years of therapy to overcome. And then there's also the obvious reasons therapy doesn't work for Diane: she is a narcissist know-it-all, so she will never admit fault and instead blame her estrangement issues on others (blame politics, social media, third party involvement like therapy for why her daughter has chosen estrangement). And this deleted video really highlights all the "political" stances Diane has taken that alienated her kids in the first place (hating on people of color/DEI, insulting Jews by downplaying the Holocaust, being transphobic). These are some of the most common bigoted right wing ideologies that lead to estrangement these days. It's hilarious she punches down at all of these minority groups and then has the audacity to act like she's the victim because her adult children aren't tolerating her bigotry anymore.
They act like therapy is our heroin 😂 what part of paying out of pocket for someone to help you revisit past trauma and reparent yourself over years is the drug-like ecstasy they speak of?? having attention from another human without having to trauma dump on your close friends and partner? How dare we 😅
She is not offended that her daughter needs therapy because of her. She is offended that her daughter would turn to someone other than her for help or advice. She talks about therapy as if people are making their therapists a close friend or family member they entrust their entire lives to. This isn't the case (or shouldn't be). She doesn't understand that therapy offers a neutral space where people can learn about themselves. Good therapists tell people how to work on themselves even if some of their issues stem from others abusing them or taking advantage of them. You can't fix other people.
@@bschne Right??? Yeah paying someone to rip open old mental wounds and make them bleed all over again is a REALLY good time...not. My dad is unfortunately a LOT like Diane. A racist, misogynistic, white Boomer who is NEVER wrong, and even if he IS (with proof) he's not really. Nothing is ever his fault, and his is always the most important and ONLY opinion allowed in the room. It's suffocating and exhausting to be around him. So I decided that I no longer wanted that energy in my life. I went no contact in May after giving him multiple chances to understand my feelings, how his actions and words affected me and my daughter, and he just doubled down basically telling me to get over it. So I got over it, by, as Diane put it, 'dumping him'.
@@melissas4874I told my therapists this recently, in hopes in might help them, and hope I can post it on the wall of my office someday when I am a therapist (my life goal beyond having kids): The Secular Serenity Prayer: I cannot control How I feel How others behave The laws of physics I CAN control Some of what I think A lot of what I do That is all. ❤
She thinks her daughter doesn't want to be around her because she voted for Trump. No, her daughter doesn't want to be around her because she subscribes to the same hateful ideologies and pushes the same hateful rhetoric. I wouldn't want that in my world either.
I've seen alot more leftists that are intolerant and hateful than normal or right wing people, also I do not subscribe to the morons that call themselves neonazis and skinheads...
I think people are taking what she said wrong. It seems they are making her into a denier here, but she isn't doing that. She is equating her own issues with the holocaust. She is saying that nobody cares about her issues, but they should because it is comparable (in her mind).
She's a lazy Qanon "intellectual." Just a bunch of garbage and nonsense cuz she actually hates change and young people. She's a miserable disingenuous Cee yoU Next Tuesday with a racist homophobic heart made of chicken gizzards. It's just a plus how she berates young people for being on their phones all the time when all the BS she believes comes from being online too much and not knowing anything about the internet. And just BTW, cuz I so hope that Diane reads all the comments on these reaction videos, I am probably the same age as her and loathe her w the strength of a thousand suns. She is 100% part of the problem and no percent part of the solution; she's just existing to make the world a worse place for everyone.
Internet: "These behaviors are not normal or healthy. You shouldn't have to put up with them." Person: "Wow my parents do that to me and refuse to stop. Maybe I should stop talking to them because it causes so much stress in my life." Diane: "Social contagion!!!!!"
Diane doesn't seem to realize that speech might be free, but opinions you have to pay for. If I don't like something, I take away its only power: my attention. No wonder her kids walked away.
Homegirl really used the series that had the first interracial kiss on national TV and the first black woman character who wasn't a maid but was a woman in a position of authority to bitch about DEI lmao
Diane: "Life is a gift. You get to be here, create dreams, and pursue them." Ironically enough, I probably would not be here now, if I had not cut my family off years ago. And it was only years after I did so, that I reached a point I finally could start pursuing my dreams.
Not to mention Diane CONSTANTLY shits all over her daughter's dreams, by calling the daughter's Tik Tok 'exotic cosplay that is unsettling and hard to digest'. What she means is 'pursue the dreams that *I* say you can have'.
The abuse and trauma my mother inflicted on me is no gift. The gift came after her death a year ago. Now I can finally heal my trauma without being constantly retraumatized.
@@-norsecode- Stalking her daughter's tik tok is so gross. Even when people tell her that it's breaking her daughter's boundaries, she gets smug and is like 'oh but it's public' which is beside the freaking point. This is just another way for her to show her daughter that 'you can't truly be rid of me no matter how many boundaries you set'. It's about control, not concern for her daughter's well-being.
I am the Gen X parent of a millennial and two Gen Zers. Being a parent did not bring me to my knees every day. That’s absurd. Being a mom has been the highlight of my life. I Love my children and I let them be who they want to be. Diane is a psycho
Diane should have never been a parent. It seems like a way for her to feel good about herself, to have children means she has to be loved, OR ELSE! She's a weird bish.
I know all about feeling guilty for going no contact with a parent. For years I imagined my father being tortured by the memories of what he did and his despair at not being able to go back. So, after 7 years of no contact while I completed THERAPY I decided to meet up with him for coffee. I only wanted to know one thing: Did he regret it? I didn’t need him to take responsibility, apologise or ask for forgiveness. I set the bar pretty low. I didn’t refer to any specific events. I told him I was frightened of him as a kid, that his actions psychologically damaged me and I said I was still angry with him about it. It was the most empowering moment of my life. He denied anything bad had ever happened. I then referred to particular instances of abuse and cruelty. He denied them all. I have a psychotic illness due to the abuse (as does my brother) and my father deliberately gaslit me to try to convince me that it was another “false memory” or delusion, and I must not be quite well. I stood my ground. I looked him straight in the eye. When I’d had enough of his BS, I switched back to chatting about everyday things, jokes, and my kids. I put on the best mask you could ever imagine. It was the one I used my whole life - laugh and smile with “real” sparkling eyes to hide the stress and/or misery. But I wasn’t stressed or miserable. I was absolutely fucking furious. I didn’t let him know that though. I kept my cool because I’d planned that, no matter what happened, we would part on what HE thought was “good terms”. He said he’d let me know when he was coming up to my part of the country. I said “sure”. I hugged him and watched him walk away. Over the next few days I told all the important members of my family that they were never to mention his name to me again - not even when he dies. He will find out that I’ve made the trial estrangement a permanent one in the fullness of time. That was two weeks ago and I’m sweet. I spent a few days feeling pretty disregulated but came right. When I think back on it I smile because I’m so unbelievably proud of myself. I rocked that performance. I faced the man I had been terrified of my entire life (I’m now 55) and told him straight. I had all the power, but I also had all the dignity. Two things I never even had a drop of as a child. My response to Dianne’s encouragement to forgive our abusive parents: “Get fucked!”
@ I totally agree, and you don’t have to. I tried to forgive my father many times before I had therapy, when I didn’t truly understand what I was forgiving him for. Each time I’d later have another psychotic episode where the rage resurfaced and would realise it hadn’t worked. I thought I’d be able to forgive him at some stage as a result of my therapy, but my therapy made me realise that I couldn’t and shouldn’t and that was completely okay. I had a planned answer if my father said he did regret what he had done: “I have some compassion for that.” It was all I was prepared to give him. Obviously I have no compassion for a man who won’t even admit what he did. Some people have said that he’s probably blocked it from his memory because he can’t live with himself. I don’t believe it. And even if he has, I don’t give a fuck because it means he hasn’t suffered all these years like my brother and I have. I asked my deceased mother to haunt his dreams. If she’s able to, I’m sure she will. She was his partner in crime but spent many years after we grew up miserable and ashamed of herself - bitterly regretting it. She asked my brother to forgive her shortly before she died and he refused. I wasn’t there. I forgave her 23 years after her death because she had admitted what she did and was clearly very upset about it. I didn’t want to speak ill of her anymore. I won’t be speaking ill of my father anymore either, because I won’t be speaking of him at all.
This woman's ignorance, arrogance, racism, and anger are simply breathtaking. The fact that she proudly parades it all in front of the world is, in my opinion, a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
this woman also debunkes the unchallenged norm about smiling . her constant smile gives me nightmares. maybe she should admit to herself that she never wanted children and hated being a mum. she never talked about the joy of being a mum or what her daughters gave her.
She admitted in one of her new videos that basically smiling is how you deal with difficulty not actually facing the problem and discussing it. Nope if you smile it means you solved the problem
My Father died years ago. I found out about it from a Facebook message, and I grieved... I didn't grieve him; I grieved the man he could have been. The Dad I could have had...But I never grieved him. He hurt me both physically and... the other bad way. I will never grieve him, and I will never forget... or forgive.
Everything she says is partially describing herself. Like talking about being closed off to other points of view while refusing to completely read her daughter's letter. haha
Listen, Diane - my husband went no contact the minute he could because his "egg donor" - (his words) was a malignant narcissist. This happened in the 90s, way before the social media culture or even the internet - no one talked about it back then!
Therapy industrial complex 😅😅 why would so many people from that generation be feeling the need for therapy? Could it be because their parents have been the cause of so many of their issues, left them with trauma, abuse, or neglected their emotional and mental wellbeing in some way? Hmm
Could it be that every generation has needed therapy but in the past it was very socially frowned upon and difficult to attain so very few people did it? Leading to generation after generation of trauma? Cycles which we are trying to finally break?
Diane is big mad that her daughters want to heal. That's deeply weird and disturbing to not want your children to feel good about themselves and heal from any trauma they've endured in life (not just from her).
@@screaminmeani Their generation did it... because that is just what you were supposed to do. Get married, have kids. However, not everyone is cut out to be a sound parent. Some of those women didn't even like children, but had them... because that was what was expected. Thank goodness these days people are aware that they can lead there lives in whichever way they want.
Kinda triggered by her blaming social media, counseling, etc. My husband was no contact with his mother for 2 long periods until the end of his life (he was 65 and it was 10 years ago). He had no social media or counseling to influence him, just a mother who was thoughtless and could not understand when he was hurt. I believe that the periods when he was no contact were the most peaceful in our house in the whole of our 32 years together. The second time he walked away, she called me and left voicemails expecting me to take her side and get him to change his mind. SMH.
Whenever someone says "honor thy father and mother" just respond "parents, be not a burden unto your children". "Every word is beneficial, for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight" 😉😂
Have we considered that kids are spending more time online because of factors like defunding schools which lead to after school programs being cut , the defunding of public parks/ park services causing less parks for kids, a child care crisis meaning kids are often staying home alone more, a lack of kid friendly places because of karens complaining of kids breathing while shopping, book bans in multiple states that are so extreme kids can't even be in the library as they might read captain underpants which is deemed adult content, and many other social factors that have been targeted by groups that quote a certain mustache man in the 1940's and/or elected officals. That totally isn't the cause of children being online more /s
Personally, I'm convinced that she started her channel when she realized the NC was going to last, and these videos are her alternate way of extracting attention "from" her daughter. Direct contact wasn't going to happen, so running to the internet to talk about her estrangement and play victim to an even bigger audience-and maybe hopefully embarrass the daughter if she saw the videos-is her way of getting narc supply by proxy.
There could've been hope if she was a young parent,in her 30s, and the daughters were still kids.... There was even hope if she were in her early 40s. Now? Diane is old and her daughters are in her early 30s. It's too late and she can't make up for lost time.
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, but when you pointed out how many times you had to listen to her- hit me right in the feels. You got my like and subscription. I am so very sorry you endured… that, but appreciate you putting it up. The monsters are always much scarier in the dark- shine a light on them and you see a bully, nothing more.
the far right has been using the tactic of finding what they’re guilty of / being accused of, and then turning it 180 and accusing the other side of it
the story about the med student who "berated" her professor reminds me of something that happened to me in my first semester of uni a few years ago. i had to present a homework problem to my class and the professor asked me a question i didn't understand immediately and when i asked him to rephrase it he started yelling it at me in different languages and i started crying. idk what happened in the operating room that day but in my experience there are professors who enjoy flexing their power over students and don't like getting pushback
I have gone no contact with my father 2yrs ago and i have said time and time again, all i wanted was an apology. For him to acknowledge the hurt he's put me through but instead of that, he tried to bribe me with gifts. All this to say that his ego is more important to him than our relationship. Also to the point that Diane said when our parents are dead, they're gone forever. The same can also be said for the child. I've seen too often children who pass before their parents. My own father said to my face that i would probably die before him. So why should the responsibility of "mending" the relationship only fall on the child?
Max, it took me 3 tries to get through this video because it was so painful watching her do things like compare children leaving their abusive parents (guided by their therapists and community) to people following Hitler! It made me so angry that I had a really hard time listening to those words. What a hateful person. I truly hope her daughters are happy now and her wonderful lives. I hope Diane rots from the inside out.
Just like a narcissist she jabs 24/7 then hides behind plausible deniability. She swore she wasny very political and opioniated and SHOCKER she 100% lied. Her recent videos is the typical narcissist of "I'm great because I exist, I did nothing and was a great mom, smiling is how you deal with life compared to actually facing reality nope just smile that means you're happy. She talked bad against therapist then became a therapist because only SHE knows what's really going on. And of course her conclusions is she did nothing wrong.
I know this was another video that covered this, but one of my least favorite things she did was speculate about withholding a candy bar or not letting Haley go to a birthday party once. So disingenuous when you literally have a letter from your kid explaining in detail what you did, and it’s a deliberate attempt to trivialize the actual reasons. You know good and well your child did not go no contact because you didn’t give her a Twix in 2001.
@@chocolatemomof4😂 Right?! *Haley pours her heart out in an extremely detailed letter* Diane: “It’s definitely the Hershey bar I withheld 24 years ago”
"withholding a candy bar or not letting Haley go to a birthday party" I wonder what actually happened. She makes it sound silly, but if she refused to let her child go to a birthday party for a bullshit reasons, I can understand why the child would mention it in her letter, AMONG OTHER THINGS. It's often a lot of things combined that cause an estrangement.
39:50 Every time some Americans like her compare their life now to something that was happening during Hitler or Stalin regime, and thinking they are going through similar experience, I just want to scream.
It's also often the most privileged people making that claim. Like, maybe I could understand a migrant in a detention camp or a native making that argument, but a WASP Middle-class American? Nah
Unfortunately, these are the same people who are voting for leaders who would try to create this kind of regime here. It's like a form of self-fulfilling prophecy.
I can imagine a lot of us getting too nervous to point out an artery during a heart surgery as STUDENTS. Not all doctors are good teachers, if your students don't learn maybe the teacher is at fault.
"On going talk therapy that goes no where" well Diane it wont work for you because talk therapy is usually paired with self reflection and that is impossible for you.
It's the cruelty of her sarcasm that hurts. I think that if I were her child, I'd go into a panic when I heard her say "APPARENTLY, therapy is the anser to EVERYTHING." That kind of treatment and attitude killed the relationship. It's so incredibly disrespectful. My sense is that if you pointed that out to her she'd wave her hand and say "Oh? Do you need to go to THERAPY to deal with that?"
I'd say favoritism can also be gendered. My parents and my friend's parent's wanted males to carry on the legacy and really crapped on their daughters. But this happens too with families who say really wanted a daughter.
I don't even think that my parents wanted a boy at first...or even wanted kids at all. I was probably an accident. They planned for the youngest child. More reasons for me to pull away that helping hand now that they're old.
I want to point out that this article regarding this medical intern she mentions is from a far-right publisher. No other information exists about this incident. Anywhere 🤦♀️
I'm curious how many hours her kids were parked in front of the TV? Gen-X heard this same crap about alllllll the television, "devil's music" , and violent video games. We seem to be doing ok despite all of that.
As a nurse of over 35 years with much of that time spent working in 2 different teaching hospitals, I can reply to the medical school student comments with some authority. Medical students have a A LOT of training ahead of them before they get into an OR. I don’t know of a single medical student who was able to look down into the open gut of a living human for the first time and identify a great vessel. The first time I, as a nursing student, looked down into an open gut, I didn’t recognize anything but the kidney that was about to be removed, the one with the kiwi sized tumor on it. A medical student has a bachelor’s degree in something prior to starting medical school. Then they go thru 4 years of medical school. Then they have 3-5 years of residency followed by a surgical specific fellowship for their specialty. Like I said, a lot of training before they are actually doing that heart surgery. And, all along the way, they have other doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff doing their part in helping make that medical student into the excellent surgeon who can do that open heart surgery.
The internet finding Diane has been cathartic, its help me see just how many people who probably think my estranged mother is insane since she's a carbon copy of Diane. Sometimes one of the worst parts of having a parent like this is that people around them tolerate them or even praise them while you loose your mind feeling like you're the only person who sees it. My sincerest apologies to whoever has to deal with Diane in real life.
Therapy is on a high, because our modern life rips ancient living stuctures and our souls apart. There is a reason for the saying "you need a village to raise a child" because it is true. There was no reason for the individual to "seek help of an industrial complex" when they could seek out "therapeutic" help by one of the many others who helped raising them and weren't helplessly dependend of the mercy of one nutjob of a mother... . They causes for our lives and souls are as ripped apart as our society are the egothistical few people who industrialised our lives. That is known for generations now, for God's sake...
No one thinks parents are disposable. Does Diane think we’re out trying to get people with cool parents to stop talking to them? I’m happy for those people and a little jealous tbh. No one thinks being estranged/low contact is cool or fun.
I think Diane resents therapists because she thinks it's her right as a parent to know every thought and feeling their child has because she knows that you need that information for manipulation
Which is exactly why right wing people are trying to put “pronoun rules” into schools so the school will have to expose the children if they want to use different names or pronouns in classrooms
I know this is not the major point of this video, but honestly I just love your speaking voice. You are so calm and pleasant and I kinda get ASMR from you ❤
This woman is WILD! And she was so proud of her “connections” throughout this video. And why is her cancel culture clips all bullying?!? I’m all for canceling the bullies 🤷🏻♀️
This woman’s escapee daughter did herself a massive favour, and well done her for choosing herself and sanity despite no doubt such relentless gaslighting throughout her life. And she also helped the rest of the world by giving us all such an obvious living illustration of narcissistic parenting
Another thing, narcissistic parents will pit the siblings against each other, and bc of this, it’s harder for the children to understand that their parent is the one that is the source of the conflict. My mother pit me and my brother against each other. I was the scape goat. I was the oldest, and a failure to my parents. I ended up so mentally ill that I had to go inpatient for months as a teen. I developed anorexia and ocd and hated my brother because he could do no wrong. I was never enough. Even if my grades were perfect and I never acted out,My mom even said she loved him “differently” bc she doesn’t understand me as well. I struggled to understand that it wasn’t his fault my parents like him more. If he got a bad grade it wasn’t a big deal; but my parents told me I wasn’t good at school and wouldn’t be able to go to state schools despite my 3.7 gpa. They never went to my soccer games and they went to Denmark to let my brother play soccer in a program. I was basically a third parent. Even now, my parents act as if I am not an adult bc I am unable to work or attend school. I got long covid and bc of this ME/CFS. I also have autism (amd so many other conditions)and mental health so bad I’m moving to a home. I have daily panic attacks and can’t leave my house. My parents treat my brother like an adult. But I’m just a child to them. I often wonder if they refuse to take any responsibility bc if they did, they’d have to acknowledge that the abuse was so bad, it literally crippled me. Sorry if this was long and rambley. It is hard to be a disabled adult when you have parents who are so abusive, they literally broke my brain. I will never be enough and that’s okay. I’m enough for me.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. And long covid Sucks! But I see you are moving to a home. Don't look at like it's a bad thing, you're getting away. This is imo ofc. Next step tell your doctor about your anxiety and maybe try meds if you're already on some you might need new ones. Here's what I do I repeat in my mind over and over what I need and the minute the doctor says how are you I just blurt it out. Or I use note pad on my phone and just hand it to them. If your parents told you anxiety and MH is "all in your head or just think positive" They're Wrong. You do matter and your feelings are valid. I'm a community psych nurse and the only reason I'm telling you that is so this part will make sense. The best thing happened today. One of my favorite patients who hasn't left his house Since the Pandemic was suddenly not home which freaked me out. He messaged me today and said he went to visit his sister. He left the House! Then he asked if I'd be upset if he said he didn't need me to bring his meds to him anymore because he wants to come in and pick them up. This was a guy who got jittery standing in the doorway because it was almost outside. I'm so happy for him now. Does he still have anxiety, probably but not crippling. You can do it too. Small steps. You got this. 🫶🏼
Glad to help you find the video :)
I've really enjoyed listening to your streams and your coverage of Diane while I work so it feels good to give back.
And of course, big ups to our homie Diane for producing this banger of a video in the first place.
Thank you again for the video !
@@Maximmmino No problem man! always willing to help out a fellow fan of Diane lol
Dude brace yourself, Diane is incredibly litigious. Nearly had the "Societal Narcissism" by Ollie Mathews banned for copywrite
Haha shout out to Diane
@@Maximmmino It's perhaps for the best that we can't read her goddamned comment section! At least, God isn't a complete sociopath!
Diane continues to show the world why her daughter made the choice she did.
We did not even need the daughter's side she given us the reason
Bro I don't even know this lady or what she did, this video is my first exposure to this situation and I'm about 30 seconds in...this comment already tells me everything I need to know about the woman LOL. RIP her daughter though. Edit: Even better, the daughter's alive but the relationship is in the ground at least.
I hate this woman.
I will be this daughter's mother in a heartbeat. This poor woman had to endure so much and at such a young age, decided to break away and live her life. Go ahead daughter! Be your best! Never talk to your birth mother again...she is a lunatic - stop and do not let her hurt you one more second of one more day.
"My daughter went no-contact with me over politics and i am not even that political". Makes a whole video with culture wars politics talking points.
Diane: I'm not even political
Also Diane: btw here's why no does not should give a FXCK about the HOLOCAUST
Exactly!!! Ironic, ain't it??? Her math is meth'ing.
She’s not ok with her lgbt daughter. Cause she’s Republican. That’s the whole story she’s just too scared to say it
Her complaining about the online outrage cycle and then regurgitating culture war propaganda in the very next breath is insanely ironic.
Excellent point - it was pretty clear what her leanings were even in that first video, too
"Nobody cares about the holocaust"
THIS IS WHY YOUR DAUGHTER DON'T TALK TO YOU DIANE!!!!!
And why most people on the internet think she's quite right to not speak to her!
I cant believe she actually said that 🫤
She's WAY too comfortable broadcasting these malicious opinions.
Excuse me. I fucking care. I watched a video of a guy touring a death camp in Poland and it was so much more viscerally horrifying than I thought. How could anyone not care about people tortured, starved and murdered!? PS some were political dissidents???
@@joannegregory3024 BELIEVE it.. she's MAGA. and the only time they even talk about the Holocaust is to try to paint themselves as being persecuted and victimized like the Jews (and others ) were. It's the Nazis claiming THEY were the ones persecuted. It's White Privilege to the MAXXX. She says that the Holocaust doesn't matter, but THEN uses it an example to make HER appear to be the victim!!!!
At this point we all want to go no contact with her and we've never known her 😂😂
😂
LOL this!
This sent me 😂
😂😂😂😂
Yes! 😂😂
If she felt comfortable enough to post that online, just imagine what she's like in private...
This!!!!
Do I have to?
yeah this is her "tame" side probably yikes.
Nightmare fuel
9000% worse.
This woman is a BLESSING. If not for her videos, there wouldn't be discourse on her wild ideas and horrific legacy. She unites people on both sides, but as a daughter who survived a similar mother, it's deeper... While this woman is the face of many parenting evils, she simultaneously outs herself WHILE lifting the burden of isolation off of us kids. Thank you Diane for your lack of self awareness, your big mouth, and your capability of uniting abused children with your ignorance.
I like your thankful viewpoint. Let's add onto that a round of applause for Max! As he himself pointed out, he had to listen to her MANY many times. Thank you for your service, bravo soldado Mexicano!
Yep. The people I never told because it was so UNBELIEVABLE!
Such a good point! Been no contact with my "mom", for over a decade and I Never Knew I Could actually be this happy! When I met my husband,now been married for 22yrs, "she" hated him because he made me realize that my mom was toxic and a*used me since I was a child.. Even my husbands mother, has been more of a mother to me,then my own.. I love my mother in-law! She's taken me in with open arms and treats me like her own . I thought as a kid, that we should feel this bad, and that parents are bullies towards us,and fat shames us, because they try to help us . well, it wasn't.. When my husband complimented me, I felt awkward because I had always been screamed at or shamed for my looks . I talked to my therapist,and she said that I've finally felt real love, and hadn't when I was a child, so I wasn't used to it,and it amazed me.. I never knew how badly she messed me up, before I met my husband.. He taught me how to love&be loved.. When we had our kids, I did everything I can/could, to be the best mom to them.. And now, my oldest is 21, and he still calls me several times a day, and comes home many times a week only to spend time with us and his little siblings.. my youngest, still calls me the most beautiful woman in the world . He's 13!soon 14! My daughter is the absolute best too..I'm so dang proud, that I cut the cord,of the a*use I had to go through.. I was so afraid of being a mother, that I told my husband that I don't want kids, so that I don't ruin them ,like my mom did me.. he said, that I'll be a great mom,and still says that I'm the best mom ever... It brings me peace to know that my husband loves me,and truly thinks I'm a good mom,and that my kids love me so much!
Add "annoying smug smile" to your list.
Same Babygirl! Same! I’ve had the same as far as going no contact with my jealous, evil, abusive, violent mother and this continues to validate my soul. God bless you fellow sister in trauma. We’re fighting one day at a time and refusing to raise ours the same!
“Look out for each other,” - a woman who has never looked out for anyone other than herself
How insane! And she is completely unaware of it too! Imagine a person who abandons their autistic child,give other people advice.
When she says look out for each other, she really means look out for her best interests no matter what it does to you
She's looking out for who to blame
What she actually means is for her tribe to be Gestapos, Kappos and SS agents. Looking out for each other means doxing and harassing each others estranged children... you can see what she's doing. She's building her army/hive/tribe. And for her to say "let it go".. Please.. she's NOT Elsa... she's Eva Braun and won't let it go. She's only getting started. I fear for her daughters. Ironic for the lady who says "the holocaust doesn't matter' to employ the tactics and propaganda of the malefactors and perpetrators of the most horrific event in history.. which began by demonizing and dehumanizing one "undesirable" or "enemy" via propaganda, gaslighting, public speeches, etc. to rile up the populace to then strip those people of their rights, then their humanity and then their very existence.
I love how the Narcissist actually out themselves all the time and warns you against them. Our problem is we just didn't know how to listen!! P
Remember, the letter from the adult child was claimed to be "90% about politics" from Diane. I wonder if this video shows us what some of those "politics" were...
I can tell she watches FOX “news” from morning til night. Brainwashed….and it fit her persecution fantasy.
And remember, she followed up with “and I’m not political AT ALL”
Ahhhh…yeah you are Diane and your political views are insane.
Diane is obviously a Trump supporter and right wing. It's why her own daughter cut her out of her life. Diane treats different politics as liking different pizza toppings.
They always gloss over the issues.
But she's 'not that political' don't you remember? It couldn't possibly be her personal views and (loudly voiced) opinions that land her in a particular political category, nope. No way.
I already figured Diane was your classic “sorry for being politically incorrect! 🤪” type of casual racist, but I was NOT prepared for this. Holy jesus
ikr? She's several different flavors of 'phobic' all mixed together in the nastiest 'cishet white Christian mommy who didn't wanna be one and has decided to make it everyone else's problem instead of fighting the patriarchy' casserole. No, you don't used canned green beans in your casserole. Or canned tomatoes. Damn shit is inedible. Canned corn, canned chicken, cream of mushroom soup, and covered with bread crumbs. Add peppercorn like a cultured bitch. Bland-ass cooks like Diane make white bitches like me seem inferior by way of Pillsbury Dough Boy complexion. She has no business in a kitchen or bearing my skin tone. I refuse to claim her. So does her daughter, hence the no-contact.
You are kind for that 'casual'😮
I do a test called the "Random Person Test" if you wouldn't accept the behaviour your parents exhibited toward you from a random person on the street, then the behaviour is unacceptable.
I used that concept to explain to people why I quit talking to my sister.
I have a similar “test.” I think we should treat family members at least as well as our co-workers. As a bare minimum, just say “hello, how’s it going?” “How was your day?” “Any plans for the weekend?” If you can’t even treat family as well as co-workers there is a problem and the relationship needs work.
Ummm yeah that's kinda bull💩
@@aliciamerline4787 That's a great way to preserve your own sanity without anyone knowing you've basically cut them out of your life. I do it with some people, too. It can save us from a lot of unneeded drama. Lol
@raven4090 I wholeheartedly support you! My younger sister lived off of my parents until she found someone to marry her. Mom and her were co-dependent and really enjoyed ripping me apart every change they got
When my mother passed away, she tried to move down to Texas with me. No thank you! She was 44 years old and still could not support herself!!! She has no children-get and keep a job!!
Actually since I stopped talking with her, I am feeling much better about myself, as this lil loser held everyone up to a standard that she had no desire or ability to provide for herself.
Good riddence!
Diane, there’s a reason why you no longer have anyone left to lecture. Please take the note.
People like her say, “Well, I just can’t say things anymore,” but the thing is, sure you can. What you don’t seem to like is OTHER PEOPLE using THEIR free speech to criticize YOU.
Absolutely this. The “good old days” they refer to are the times when people either openly agreed with them or were too intimidated by the first group to speak up against it.
25:43 Her cluelessness is staggering. She blames social media for modern problems while simultaneously seeding her TH-cam videos with every Conservative buzzword imaginable!
@@drewgoin8849 in her head she’s not repeating buzzwords and promoting straw men, she’s just “telling it like it is.” Which is an interesting sleight of hand that parents like her often use without realising it.
@@LaMorenitaDivina My malignant narcissistic mother (thankfully dead now) LOVED to use the "telling it like it is" or "I'm just telling the truth". So I started to tell her like it is and telling her the truth. She did not like it. 😂

“ShE mUsT’vE bEeN tAlKiNg AbOuT mY hUsBaNd, bEcAuSe I’m NoT pOLiTiCaL……”
Lmal narcissist are complete liars and hypocritical. They do nothing and people randomly accuse them of things then when you let them just talk..... they reveal themselves
"proceeds to say awful political things"
... 'LifEstyLes!' while there's a rainbow flag in the background. Yeah, Diane ...
I am not political! DEI, Race, Trans, Univerity is bad, No Jews please.
We'd all be happier if she accepted her toxic world view and migrated to Truth Social.
51:20 I hate hate HATE when parents use the "Life is a gift." line when speaking about their kids, because they use it like they're owed something. Yes. Life is like a gift. It is something given with no expectation of return and can be used however you like. These parents feel OWED by their kids. "Life is a gift, and I gave birth to you, so you owe us." Nuh uh bestie thats not how that works. That's not a gift that's a LOAN.
It's the inability to comprehend doing something nice for someone else just because you want to. Love is transactional for her. She isn't going to do anything for anyone else unless she thinks she's getting a benefit out of it. And she is convinced everyone else works like this because she cannot comprehend alternate perspectives.
PREACH
My common response to my mother when she said that was “I’d be relieved to return the gift”. She still doesn’t understand why I cut her off and moved to the other side of the planet. 🤦🏻♀️
@@jennanail You tell a narcissist, in concise detail, why you're cutting them out of your life and they till will make up their own reasons. My mother would do that to me all the time, every time actually, when I'd tell her to stop doing something in particular because it's hurtful. She just couldn't stop. And it was easy stuff. Well, easy to non-narcissists.
@@jennanail When my mom told me, "I could have aborted you." Umm, mom....that's not the flex you think it is. I wouldn't have known 🤣
She made the video to rile up her daughter, and made the whole internet pissed instead😂
This is a gift to her daughter
This woman is validating her daughter’s decision with every sentence she posts.
This is why it's important to allow a narcissist to keep talking. They'll show their true colors eventually.
Getting completely out is an even better plan, in my opinion.
Yeah narcissist lie constantly but you'll see they will say hypocritical things and keep coming back to what they REALLY feel
Diane's true colors were very apparent from her first video. The only people who ever found her sympathetic are other "estranged" parents whose children "ditched" them for "no reason."
I'm 41 and have gone no contact with my parents and my little sister. My parents were physically and emotionally abusive growing up, gave up their parental rights to me on my 16th birthday and I was sent to a group home. When I developed a drug problem after my first child was born, I let my son stay with my parents so I could go to rehab. When I got out of rehab, my parents kidnapped him and told authorities I abandoned him. I had to play nice with them for 13 years (they sued me for custody and won) so that I would have access to my son. But when he turned 18 and moved out of their house, I was free to say to them everything I had been holding back. My mom even told my son that the reason she got custody of him was because I tried to sell him for drugs. My sister has turned into the golden child and they have teamed up against me.
My sister tried to get me to send my other 3 kids up to live with her until I could get things figured out here (waiting on a disability determination and going to marriage counseling with my husband). I politely declined (because I was not about to let them do it to me again) and then she went on the offense, texting my 12 year old daughter that I'm abusive and dangerous and she needs to get away from me, texting my husband a made up story about how I had a secret online relationship and sending the Department of Children and Families to my house.
I blocked my sister on everything (my parents don't do social media so I just blocked their numbers).
Ever since I was little, I just wanted someone to love me and accept me. That has gotten me into more trouble in my life than I care to admit.
And it is hard cutting off family (my husband had to go no contact with his parents because they wouldn't stop verbally abusing me and degrading me to my kids). This will be the first Christmas we will be celebrating without parents (my son and his family will be joining us, and I'm very excited), and it's a hard thought to have.
But I'm in therapy (and so are my underaged kids), and I'm learning to be ok with myself. I'm also learning how not to repeat my parents mistakes and be a better parent myself.
You are doing great. I'm happy to know that you have your own family that you can count on. 😊
You have all the love you and your husband need. Leave the toxicity behind and watch yourselves thrive
Wow. What a truly remarkable turn around for you. Bless you and your actual family 💜💜💜 I’m so happy for you all to have freedom from that hell of a life. No one deserves to endure that
Bless you. You’ve been through so much and come out the other side. Happy for you. I wish you a wonderful Christmas. You can now set the standard for being the kind of grandparent your own kids should have had, establish new family traditions ( or not), and just enjoy your own nuclear family. At this age, you get a whole new fresh start in life. I know you’re up to it! 👍🎄🎄🎄
Hey, Phoenix. Your story really touched my heart. I'm so, so sorry that you didn't get the love you deserve from your family. But you are so strong! Good for you for working on yourself & creating a better life for your children! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
I am a 56 year old white woman and a mother. I am from the same demographic as Diane. She repulses and fascinates me at the same time. That is the reason why I am commenting here, the algorithm feeds me vids about this hideous woman, she is my dark mirrior. I would LOVE to converse with her. She gets to hide behind the idea that people in her demographic would agree with her, but not all middle aged white women have bad relationships with our kids. So I am wondering how she would take it if she found out that some of us have wonderful close and connected relationships with our adult children? I would bet my last dollar that she would find a way to discount what I had to say to her, which is basically that she needs to be responsible for her own relationships and stop blaming everyone else for her parental failures. Sure, parenting is hard, but it is not really as hard as she is making out. The number one key to good familial relationships? Respect. She doesn't respect her kids. You have to give respect to your kids before they will respect you. Especially in modern society.
She would be very happy to take your money so you could tell her how I unevolved & sick she is. She does this whole dog & pony show to pad her checkbook. She will be leaving that person who dresses up as a man in some of her scenes & will be needing the cash to get the hell rid of him.
Another 56-year-old white woman here who has a mutually respectful and rewarding relationship with both her husband and adult son. And who is also estranged from my parents.
@@emcooper3031 I am sorry you are estranged from your parents. My father passed when I was 13 and all I had left was my mom. We were very close until I lost her a few years ago. I would feel sorry for myself, that I lost my father so young, but I have known too many people that didn't have a good father like I did. I may have lost him early, but I was lucky to have had him at all.
LOL can we start a "me too" movement here - honestly, I can't believe that someone our age can actually put this nonsense out there - and with a total lack of shame for it.
And heck no, not one single thing she says is anything I agree with - she's a nasty horrible person - and I am 100% behind her kid for leaving her - I would too!
@@rsh793 honestly, as a young person estranged from my mother, who is of similar age to you two wonderful ladies, reading these comments has been so healing
due to her abuse, I came to believe her insistence that it was "normal" and that everyone (especially those of her generation) would agree
so a me-too movement of this kind would be awesome to see
I watched "Live Abuse Free"s reaction to this and every time i didn't think my jaw could drop anymore, I became a python just unhinging my entire jawbone. Diane really thought a lot of people would applaud her ignorant, racist, bigoted thoughts but obviously not since she deleted it.
Same reaction here too.
She genuinely sees nothing wrong with her views.
Did she do this new deleted video?! Her reactions to Dianne are always so validating and cathartic.
Narcissist completly lack self awareness. If you disagree with her and hold her accountable you're a troll. If you agree with her however then you're wonderful. Just like a narc
Yes she did @@whims6278
@@VibinWithRunnTheSnowman Correct. Because Narcissists also lack empathy they cannot understand that people will have a negative reaction to their actions, views or behaviour.
Some of them are genuinely bewildered when people disagree or think less of them.
The UCLA doctor wasn’t angry about DEI hires. He was definitely a jerk but was raging about students and residents no longer working unlimited hours after the work week was limited to 80 hours. He thought students were not longer smart enough because they were allowed to sleep. This happened after studies showed increased healthcare errors when doctors worked more than 80 hour weeks or 36 hour shifts.
Thanks for the info!
This is, unfortunately, still a common POV among older physicians. Never mind all we know about the importance of sleep for memory formation and cognition.

No wonder two daughters and some other people in her life have gone no contact. She's insufferable.
Her daughter shaved her head bald and lives in the woods with a cult and pushes the trans bs. So as far as I’m concerned the daughter not any better
Diane is blasting and blaming social media - while ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!! 🤔
And throwing every Conservative buzzword into her videos.
Yeah... stalking one of her daughters on TikTok.
If a man did that, he'd immediately be the bad guy....but she knowingly breaks these boundaries.
She doesn't deserve her daughters. She deserves to be by herself.
Her referring to the eatranged children who commented as "angry" is rich, considering she's angry enough that her daughter is estranged from her that she has made multiple youtube series about it.
People like her will weaponize anger when it’s actually a perfectly sane and reasonable reaction to their behavior. We SHOULD be angry at your disgusting views and actions, Diane.
Right!
She lost control and it pisses her off, 😂!!!
I think her issue with the concept of therapy is that she takes offense at the idea that children like her daughter end up needing life-long therapy because it indicates her failure or culpability as a parent. Therapy isn't designed to keep patients hooked on treatment or make adult children choose estrangement when it isn't necessary for their well-being. Childhood trauma often has life-long consequences and requires many years of therapy to overcome. And then there's also the obvious reasons therapy doesn't work for Diane: she is a narcissist know-it-all, so she will never admit fault and instead blame her estrangement issues on others (blame politics, social media, third party involvement like therapy for why her daughter has chosen estrangement).
And this deleted video really highlights all the "political" stances Diane has taken that alienated her kids in the first place (hating on people of color/DEI, insulting Jews by downplaying the Holocaust, being transphobic). These are some of the most common bigoted right wing ideologies that lead to estrangement these days. It's hilarious she punches down at all of these minority groups and then has the audacity to act like she's the victim because her adult children aren't tolerating her bigotry anymore.
They act like therapy is our heroin 😂 what part of paying out of pocket for someone to help you revisit past trauma and reparent yourself over years is the drug-like ecstasy they speak of?? having attention from another human without having to trauma dump on your close friends and partner? How dare we 😅
She is not offended that her daughter needs therapy because of her. She is offended that her daughter would turn to someone other than her for help or advice. She talks about therapy as if people are making their therapists a close friend or family member they entrust their entire lives to. This isn't the case (or shouldn't be). She doesn't understand that therapy offers a neutral space where people can learn about themselves. Good therapists tell people how to work on themselves even if some of their issues stem from others abusing them or taking advantage of them. You can't fix other people.
@@bschne Right???
Yeah paying someone to rip open old mental wounds and make them bleed all over again is a REALLY good time...not.
My dad is unfortunately a LOT like Diane. A racist, misogynistic, white Boomer who is NEVER wrong, and even if he IS (with proof) he's not really. Nothing is ever his fault, and his is always the most important and ONLY opinion allowed in the room. It's suffocating and exhausting to be around him. So I decided that I no longer wanted that energy in my life.
I went no contact in May after giving him multiple chances to understand my feelings, how his actions and words affected me and my daughter, and he just doubled down basically telling me to get over it. So I got over it, by, as Diane put it, 'dumping him'.
@@melissas4874I told my therapists this recently, in hopes in might help them, and hope I can post it on the wall of my office someday when I am a therapist (my life goal beyond having kids):
The Secular Serenity Prayer:
I cannot control
How I feel
How others behave

I CAN control
Some of what I think
A lot of what I do
That is all. ❤
“She looks like she laughs at orphans” too true 😂😂😂
I literally laughed out loud at "she looks like she laughs at orphans"
Considering she thinks she has it worse than holocaust victims, she more likely than not thinks she has it worse than orphans too
She thinks her daughter doesn't want to be around her because she voted for Trump. No, her daughter doesn't want to be around her because she subscribes to the same hateful ideologies and pushes the same hateful rhetoric. I wouldn't want that in my world either.
No. She doesn’t really buy into the politics excuse. It’s just a lie that loads of these terrible parents reach for because the low IQs will buy it.
I've seen alot more leftists that are intolerant and hateful than normal or right wing people, also I do not subscribe to the morons that call themselves neonazis and skinheads...
Bro, I wanna be estranged from her and I've seen her ONCE
Word
jesus christ that opening. i saw bits and pieces of this video but i had no clue how racist it actually was
I think people are taking what she said wrong. It seems they are making her into a denier here, but she isn't doing that. She is equating her own issues with the holocaust. She is saying that nobody cares about her issues, but they should because it is comparable (in her mind).
@@melissas4874wait!? What
That's just as bad, let's be honest here. @@melissas4874
people like diane who are obsessed with the idea that everything they don’t understand comes down to “social contagion” irk me so very much
She's a lazy Qanon "intellectual." Just a bunch of garbage and nonsense cuz she actually hates change and young people. She's a miserable disingenuous Cee yoU Next Tuesday with a racist homophobic heart made of chicken gizzards.
It's just a plus how she berates young people for being on their phones all the time when all the BS she believes comes from being online too much and not knowing anything about the internet.
And just BTW, cuz I so hope that Diane reads all the comments on these reaction videos, I am probably the same age as her and loathe her w the strength of a thousand suns. She is 100% part of the problem and no percent part of the solution; she's just existing to make the world a worse place for everyone.
Internet: "These behaviors are not normal or healthy. You shouldn't have to put up with them."
Person: "Wow my parents do that to me and refuse to stop. Maybe I should stop talking to them because it causes so much stress in my life."
Diane: "Social contagion!!!!!"
Diane doesn't seem to realize that speech might be free, but opinions you have to pay for. If I don't like something, I take away its only power: my attention. No wonder her kids walked away.
The Bible also says "Fathers, do not provoke anger in your children", but unsurprisingly, she is ignorant of this.
She says "therapy industrial complex" then later "why don't we trust our mental health professionals" ma'am what the actual fuck
Didn’t catch that. But huh?
You know the cognitive dissonance is wildly out of control with the magats
the star trek clips are wild considering how progressive that entire universe has been since the very beginning
Diane the poser
Homegirl really used the series that had the first interracial kiss on national TV and the first black woman character who wasn't a maid but was a woman in a position of authority to bitch about DEI lmao
Diane: "Life is a gift. You get to be here, create dreams, and pursue them."
Ironically enough, I probably would not be here now, if I had not cut my family off years ago. And it was only years after I did so, that I reached a point I finally could start pursuing my dreams.
When will they realize this "gift" is like giving someone a sick puppy. A boatload of responsibility I didn't ask for, but I should be grateful?
Not to mention Diane CONSTANTLY shits all over her daughter's dreams, by calling the daughter's Tik Tok 'exotic cosplay that is unsettling and hard to digest'.
What she means is 'pursue the dreams that *I* say you can have'.
The abuse and trauma my mother inflicted on me is no gift. The gift came after her death a year ago. Now I can finally heal my trauma without being constantly retraumatized.
@@chitheinsanechibi As if she is forced to watch her daughter's tik toks.
@@-norsecode- Stalking her daughter's tik tok is so gross. Even when people tell her that it's breaking her daughter's boundaries, she gets smug and is like 'oh but it's public' which is beside the freaking point.
This is just another way for her to show her daughter that 'you can't truly be rid of me no matter how many boundaries you set'. It's about control, not concern for her daughter's well-being.
I don't even need to know how her daughter's life with her was like to know why she went NC.
This video is more than enough to know why.
True. I feel sad that her daughter was subjected to such a hate-filled parent.
When the rage-baiter dirty deletes because even by their public's standards they went too far
Love how she can’t help but keep showing why her kid wants nothing to do with her
I am the Gen X parent of a millennial and two Gen Zers. Being a parent did not bring me to my knees every day. That’s absurd. Being a mom has been the highlight of my life. I Love my children and I let them be who they want to be.
Diane is a psycho
Diane should have never been a parent. It seems like a way for her to feel good about herself, to have children means she has to be loved, OR ELSE! She's a weird bish.
I know all about feeling guilty for going no contact with a parent. For years I imagined my father being tortured by the memories of what he did and his despair at not being able to go back.
So, after 7 years of no contact while I completed THERAPY I decided to meet up with him for coffee. I only wanted to know one thing: Did he regret it? I didn’t need him to take responsibility, apologise or ask for forgiveness. I set the bar pretty low.
I didn’t refer to any specific events. I told him I was frightened of him as a kid, that his actions psychologically damaged me and I said I was still angry with him about it. It was the most empowering moment of my life.
He denied anything bad had ever happened. I then referred to particular instances of abuse and cruelty. He denied them all. I have a psychotic illness due to the abuse (as does my brother) and my father deliberately gaslit me to try to convince me that it was another “false memory” or delusion, and I must not be quite well.
I stood my ground. I looked him straight in the eye. When I’d had enough of his BS, I switched back to chatting about everyday things, jokes, and my kids. I put on the best mask you could ever imagine. It was the one I used my whole life - laugh and smile with “real” sparkling eyes to hide the stress and/or misery. But I wasn’t stressed or miserable. I was absolutely fucking furious. I didn’t let him know that though. I kept my cool because I’d planned that, no matter what happened, we would part on what HE thought was “good terms”.
He said he’d let me know when he was coming up to my part of the country. I said “sure”. I hugged him and watched him walk away.
Over the next few days I told all the important members of my family that they were never to mention his name to me again - not even when he dies. He will find out that I’ve made the trial estrangement a permanent one in the fullness of time.
That was two weeks ago and I’m sweet. I spent a few days feeling pretty disregulated but came right. When I think back on it I smile because I’m so unbelievably proud of myself. I rocked that performance. I faced the man I had been terrified of my entire life (I’m now 55) and told him straight. I had all the power, but I also had all the dignity. Two things I never even had a drop of as a child.
My response to Dianne’s encouragement to forgive our abusive parents: “Get fucked!”
I will NEVER forgive! Some things are unforgivable!!
@ I totally agree, and you don’t have to. I tried to forgive my father many times before I had therapy, when I didn’t truly understand what I was forgiving him for. Each time I’d later have another psychotic episode where the rage resurfaced and would realise it hadn’t worked.
I thought I’d be able to forgive him at some stage as a result of my therapy, but my therapy made me realise that I couldn’t and shouldn’t and that was completely okay.
I had a planned answer if my father said he did regret what he had done: “I have some compassion for that.” It was all I was prepared to give him. Obviously I have no compassion for a man who won’t even admit what he did. Some people have said that he’s probably blocked it from his memory because he can’t live with himself. I don’t believe it. And even if he has, I don’t give a fuck because it means he hasn’t suffered all these years like my brother and I have.
I asked my deceased mother to haunt his dreams. If she’s able to, I’m sure she will. She was his partner in crime but spent many years after we grew up miserable and ashamed of herself - bitterly regretting it. She asked my brother to forgive her shortly before she died and he refused. I wasn’t there. I forgave her 23 years after her death because she had admitted what she did and was clearly very upset about it. I didn’t want to speak ill of her anymore.
I won’t be speaking ill of my father anymore either, because I won’t be speaking of him at all.
You are a brave person and the story you shared is so inspiring!
This woman's ignorance, arrogance, racism, and anger are simply breathtaking. The fact that she proudly parades it all in front of the world is, in my opinion, a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
So you battle your kids every day? Weird. You choose your battles, Diane.
this woman also debunkes the unchallenged norm about smiling . her constant smile gives me nightmares. maybe she should admit to herself that she never wanted children and hated being a mum. she never talked about the joy of being a mum or what her daughters gave her.
She admitted in one of her new videos that basically smiling is how you deal with difficulty not actually facing the problem and discussing it. Nope if you smile it means you solved the problem
My Father died years ago. I found out about it from a Facebook message, and I grieved... I didn't grieve him; I grieved the man he could have been. The Dad I could have had...But I never grieved him. He hurt me both physically and... the other bad way. I will never grieve him, and I will never forget... or forgive.
If you forgive, it will be for you.
This should be taught in school to protect children from narcissists and other mentally deranged people like Diane.
Everything she says is partially describing herself. Like talking about being closed off to other points of view while refusing to completely read her daughter's letter. haha
How about when she talks about being estranged from parents? Because somehow, Diane's daughters didn't know her father 🤔
Listen, it's easier to make an entire youtube series and try to profit off of other immature parents "than it is to do the inner work." 😂
Narcissistic projection and cherry picking. She doesn't use logic or self reflection.
Listen, Diane - my husband went no contact the minute he could because his "egg donor" - (his words) was a malignant narcissist. This happened in the 90s, way before the social media culture or even the internet - no one talked about it back then!
Yup. I did the same in-the 90s, for similar reasons. Diane likes to throw all sorts of blame in the wrong directions.
She is trying to discredit our experiences, as if we are just following trends on the internet, and to claim victimhood.
Therapy industrial complex 😅😅 why would so many people from that generation be feeling the need for therapy? Could it be because their parents have been the cause of so many of their issues, left them with trauma, abuse, or neglected their emotional and mental wellbeing in some way? Hmm
❤❤❤❤😂lol sob. Exactly. Also why some of us don't have kids.
Could it be that every generation has needed therapy but in the past it was very socially frowned upon and difficult to attain so very few people did it? Leading to generation after generation of trauma? Cycles which we are trying to finally break?
Diane is big mad that her daughters want to heal. That's deeply weird and disturbing to not want your children to feel good about themselves and heal from any trauma they've endured in life (not just from her).
@@FrogsForBreakfast YESSSSS
@@screaminmeani Their generation did it... because that is just what you were supposed to do. Get married, have kids. However, not everyone is cut out to be a sound parent. Some of those women didn't even like children, but had them... because that was what was expected. Thank goodness these days people are aware that they can lead there lives in whichever way they want.
Kinda triggered by her blaming social media, counseling, etc. My husband was no contact with his mother for 2 long periods until the end of his life (he was 65 and it was 10 years ago). He had no social media or counseling to influence him, just a mother who was thoughtless and could not understand when he was hurt. I believe that the periods when he was no contact were the most peaceful in our house in the whole of our 32 years together. The second time he walked away, she called me and left voicemails expecting me to take her side and get him to change his mind. SMH.
Good Wife.
Whenever someone says "honor thy father and mother" just respond "parents, be not a burden unto your children".
"Every word is beneficial, for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight" 😉😂
Why does she always feel like she’s making a PragerU video? Gross.
Touche
That’s exactly the cadence she speaks with
Have we considered that kids are spending more time online because of factors like defunding schools which lead to after school programs being cut , the defunding of public parks/ park services causing less parks for kids, a child care crisis meaning kids are often staying home alone more, a lack of kid friendly places because of karens complaining of kids breathing while shopping, book bans in multiple states that are so extreme kids can't even be in the library as they might read captain underpants which is deemed adult content, and many other social factors that have been targeted by groups that quote a certain mustache man in the 1940's and/or elected officals. That totally isn't the cause of children being online more /s
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Pure facts!!!
If she wanted any hope for a relationship with her daughter……..she sure isn’t getting it now
Personally, I'm convinced that she started her channel when she realized the NC was going to last, and these videos are her alternate way of extracting attention "from" her daughter. Direct contact wasn't going to happen, so running to the internet to talk about her estrangement and play victim to an even bigger audience-and maybe hopefully embarrass the daughter if she saw the videos-is her way of getting narc supply by proxy.
There could've been hope if she was a young parent,in her 30s, and the daughters were still kids....
There was even hope if she were in her early 40s.
Now? Diane is old and her daughters are in her early 30s. It's too late and she can't make up for lost time.
I've never actually seen this video but wild to go with "nobody cares about the holocaust."
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, but when you pointed out how many times you had to listen to her- hit me right in the feels. You got my like and subscription. I am so very sorry you endured… that, but appreciate you putting it up. The monsters are always much scarier in the dark- shine a light on them and you see a bully, nothing more.
Weird that she was spot on about manufactured outrage for monetized clicks but aligns with the side doing that.
the far right has been using the tactic of finding what they’re guilty of / being accused of,
and then turning it 180 and accusing the other side of it
the story about the med student who "berated" her professor reminds me of something that happened to me in my first semester of uni a few years ago. i had to present a homework problem to my class and the professor asked me a question i didn't understand immediately and when i asked him to rephrase it he started yelling it at me in different languages and i started crying. idk what happened in the operating room that day but in my experience there are professors who enjoy flexing their power over students and don't like getting pushback
I’m sorry that happened to you… I have a similar situation where I was accused of cheating b/c we got the same score BUT DIFF questions wrong
Cried so bad ppl thought someone died
NOT THE "No one cares about the Holocaust" DIANE WTF U MEANNN
I have gone no contact with my father 2yrs ago and i have said time and time again, all i wanted was an apology. For him to acknowledge the hurt he's put me through but instead of that, he tried to bribe me with gifts. All this to say that his ego is more important to him than our relationship.
Also to the point that Diane said when our parents are dead, they're gone forever. The same can also be said for the child. I've seen too often children who pass before their parents. My own father said to my face that i would probably die before him. So why should the responsibility of "mending" the relationship only fall on the child?
Max, it took me 3 tries to get through this video because it was so painful watching her do things like compare children leaving their abusive parents (guided by their therapists and community) to people following Hitler! It made me so angry that I had a really hard time listening to those words. What a hateful person. I truly hope her daughters are happy now and her wonderful lives. I hope Diane rots from the inside out.
Just like a narcissist she jabs 24/7 then hides behind plausible deniability. She swore she wasny very political and opioniated and SHOCKER she 100% lied. Her recent videos is the typical narcissist of "I'm great because I exist, I did nothing and was a great mom, smiling is how you deal with life compared to actually facing reality nope just smile that means you're happy. She talked bad against therapist then became a therapist because only SHE knows what's really going on. And of course her conclusions is she did nothing wrong.
I know this was another video that covered this, but one of my least favorite things she did was speculate about withholding a candy bar or not letting Haley go to a birthday party once. So disingenuous when you literally have a letter from your kid explaining in detail what you did, and it’s a deliberate attempt to trivialize the actual reasons. You know good and well your child did not go no contact because you didn’t give her a Twix in 2001.
But…but…but…CHOCOLATE!!!
@@chocolatemomof4😂 Right?! *Haley pours her heart out in an extremely detailed letter* Diane: “It’s definitely the Hershey bar I withheld 24 years ago”
"withholding a candy bar or not letting Haley go to a birthday party"
I wonder what actually happened. She makes it sound silly, but if she refused to let her child go to a birthday party for a bullshit reasons, I can understand why the child would mention it in her letter, AMONG OTHER THINGS. It's often a lot of things combined that cause an estrangement.
39:50 Every time some Americans like her compare their life now to something that was happening during Hitler or Stalin regime, and thinking they are going through similar experience, I just want to scream.
It’s not just Americans.
We're talking about Americans though. No one said it was ONLY Americans. Diane is American. We are talking about Diane.@@BronwynneBessette-v7s
It's also often the most privileged people making that claim.
Like, maybe I could understand a migrant in a detention camp or a native making that argument, but a WASP Middle-class American? Nah
Unfortunately, these are the same people who are voting for leaders who would try to create this kind of regime here. It's like a form of self-fulfilling prophecy.
"No child is perfect, we are all flawed" what a sneaky way to say hey, no one is perfect but especially them, we're ok.
I can imagine a lot of us getting too nervous to point out an artery during a heart surgery as STUDENTS. Not all doctors are good teachers, if your students don't learn maybe the teacher is at fault.
"Let go with love" as she wraps up a video full of vitriol because her daughter (rightly) cut her off.
She's the embodiment of "no, it's the children who are wrong"
"On going talk therapy that goes no where" well Diane it wont work for you because talk therapy is usually paired with self reflection and that is impossible for you.
It's the cruelty of her sarcasm that hurts. I think that if I were her child, I'd go into a panic when I heard her say "APPARENTLY, therapy is the anser to EVERYTHING." That kind of treatment and attitude killed the relationship. It's so incredibly disrespectful. My sense is that if you pointed that out to her she'd wave her hand and say "Oh? Do you need to go to THERAPY to deal with that?"
:O And she wonders why her kids stopped talking to her. Hilarious.
I'd say favoritism can also be gendered. My parents and my friend's parent's wanted males to carry on the legacy and really crapped on their daughters. But this happens too with families who say really wanted a daughter.
I don't even think that my parents wanted a boy at first...or even wanted kids at all.
I was probably an accident. They planned for the youngest child.
More reasons for me to pull away that helping hand now that they're old.
Just say that you wished you’d never let your child out of the attic, already! So much more efficient. 🤦🏽♀️
The fact that she continues to create videos about her daughter... says everything I need to know about why her daughter has gone no contact
She seems quite political to me!!
I want to point out that this article regarding this medical intern she mentions is from a far-right publisher. No other information exists about this incident. Anywhere 🤦♀️
I'm curious how many hours her kids were parked in front of the TV? Gen-X heard this same crap about alllllll the television, "devil's music" , and violent video games. We seem to be doing ok despite all of that.
As a nurse of over 35 years with much of that time spent working in 2 different teaching hospitals, I can reply to the medical school student comments with some authority. Medical students have a A LOT of training ahead of them before they get into an OR. I don’t know of a single medical student who was able to look down into the open gut of a living human for the first time and identify a great vessel. The first time I, as a nursing student, looked down into an open gut, I didn’t recognize anything but the kidney that was about to be removed, the one with the kiwi sized tumor on it. A medical student has a bachelor’s degree in something prior to starting medical school. Then they go thru 4 years of medical school. Then they have 3-5 years of residency followed by a surgical specific fellowship for their specialty. Like I said, a lot of training before they are actually doing that heart surgery. And, all along the way, they have other doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff doing their part in helping make that medical student into the excellent surgeon who can do that open heart surgery.
dude you have the best energy. super validating
Don't say shitty things, there won't be shitty consequences. Why doesnt she get that?
The internet finding Diane has been cathartic, its help me see just how many people who probably think my estranged mother is insane since she's a carbon copy of Diane. Sometimes one of the worst parts of having a parent like this is that people around them tolerate them or even praise them while you loose your mind feeling like you're the only person who sees it. My sincerest apologies to whoever has to deal with Diane in real life.
I find myself offended at her use of Star Trek clips.
This!
Therapy is on a high, because our modern life rips ancient living stuctures and our souls apart. There is a reason for the saying "you need a village to raise a child" because it is true. There was no reason for the individual to "seek help of an industrial complex" when they could seek out "therapeutic" help by one of the many others who helped raising them and weren't helplessly dependend of the mercy of one nutjob of a mother... .
They causes for our lives and souls are as ripped apart as our society are the egothistical few people who industrialised our lives. That is known for generations now, for God's sake...
Chers son is seriously drug addicted. She was trying to to get him into rehab and he wants to keep doing what he’s doing. It’s sad.
"Nobody cares if you're *jewish" but also, "I'm not even very political"
Dude, whatt in tarnation?
Not often does my jaw actually drop, but that opening 😮😮
She thinks she is going to be acknowledged as an astute and intelligent observer of the American family. Her "tells " are just 2/3s of *as-*.
No one thinks parents are disposable. Does Diane think we’re out trying to get people with cool parents to stop talking to them? I’m happy for those people and a little jealous tbh. No one thinks being estranged/low contact is cool or fun.
Well said!!!
I think Diane resents therapists because she thinks it's her right as a parent to know every thought and feeling their child has because she knows that you need that information for manipulation
Which is exactly why right wing people are trying to put “pronoun rules” into schools so the school will have to expose the children if they want to use different names or pronouns in classrooms
How can someone be unqualified for an education? Isn't the place you get the education the one making you qualified?
you are QUICK! I'm so glad I caught the stream earlier :D Thank you for your reactions to Diane, you make it so much easier to weather her videos.
When you'd rather see the world as a series of malicious industrial complexes rather than admit you were wrong.
Cry-Anne is just bringing out a lot of my spite.
Imagine being this woman’s child. You dare to tell her about an issue you’re going through and all you get is a sarcastic “Awwwwww” and an eye roll.
I know this is not the major point of this video, but honestly I just love your speaking voice. You are so calm and pleasant and I kinda get ASMR from you ❤
Didn't 50 cent also try to force his adult daughter's gyno to check for virginity and got mad it was illegal due to HIPAA and told no ?
STACKING THE WORDS "INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX" TO THINGS DOESN'T MAKE YOUR IDEAS MORE LEGITIMATE DIANE. God damn I found that annoying.
a week ago i went to her video and commented "you deserve to be alone and i am glad you are in pain", so now i feel SO VALIDATED
This woman is WILD! And she was so proud of her “connections” throughout this video. And why is her cancel culture clips all bullying?!? I’m all for canceling the bullies 🤷🏻♀️
She doesn’t know what cancel culture means.
This woman’s escapee daughter did herself a massive favour, and well done her for choosing herself and sanity despite no doubt such relentless gaslighting throughout her life. And she also helped the rest of the world by giving us all such an obvious living illustration of narcissistic parenting
Another thing, narcissistic parents will pit the siblings against each other, and bc of this, it’s harder for the children to understand that their parent is the one that is the source of the conflict. My mother pit me and my brother against each other. I was the scape goat. I was the oldest, and a failure to my parents. I ended up so mentally ill that I had to go inpatient for months as a teen. I developed anorexia and ocd and hated my brother because he could do no wrong. I was never enough. Even if my grades were perfect and I never acted out,My mom even said she loved him “differently” bc she doesn’t understand me as well. I struggled to understand that it wasn’t his fault my parents like him more. If he got a bad grade it wasn’t a big deal; but my parents told me I wasn’t good at school and wouldn’t be able to go to state schools despite my 3.7 gpa. They never went to my soccer games and they went to Denmark to let my brother play soccer in a program. I was basically a third parent.
Even now, my parents act as if I am not an adult bc I am unable to work or attend school. I got long covid and bc of this ME/CFS. I also have autism (amd so many other conditions)and mental health so bad I’m moving to a home. I have daily panic attacks and can’t leave my house. My parents treat my brother like an adult. But I’m just a child to them. I often wonder if they refuse to take any responsibility bc if they did, they’d have to acknowledge that the abuse was so bad, it literally crippled me.
Sorry if this was long and rambley. It is hard to be a disabled adult when you have parents who are so abusive, they literally broke my brain. I will never be enough and that’s okay. I’m enough for me.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. And long covid Sucks! But I see you are moving to a home. Don't look at like it's a bad thing, you're getting away. This is imo ofc. Next step tell your doctor about your anxiety and maybe try meds if you're already on some you might need new ones. Here's what I do I repeat in my mind over and over what I need and the minute the doctor says how are you I just blurt it out. Or I use note pad on my phone and just hand it to them. If your parents told you anxiety and MH is "all in your head or just think positive" They're Wrong. You do matter and your feelings are valid.
I'm a community psych nurse and the only reason I'm telling you that is so this part will make sense. The best thing happened today. One of my favorite patients who hasn't left his house Since the Pandemic was suddenly not home which freaked me out. He messaged me today and said he went to visit his sister. He left the House! Then he asked if I'd be upset if he said he didn't need me to bring his meds to him anymore because he wants to come in and pick them up. This was a guy who got jittery standing in the doorway because it was almost outside. I'm so happy for him now. Does he still have anxiety, probably but not crippling.
You can do it too. Small steps. You got this. 🫶🏼
Oh and forgot to add if it was me I'd go super LC or NC. They don't deserve to see you shine. IMO ofc
what a horrible, cruel person she is; her daughter made a good call disconnecting from her
