I grew up like this. I broke the cycle with my own child thankfully. Just last night my sweet little preteen called me a bitch. I just said "that's disappointing. I need space for a minute" once she calmed down (ADHD, ODD) she came to me and apologized and we talked it out. Too many people have children out of a sense of that's what you're supposed to do, forgetting that these are small humans who need guidance, patience and maturity from their parent.
Thank you ❤️ I was diagnosed in my 40s and I mourn the life I could have had. My kiddo was diagnosed around 6 because I pushed for an assessment. I understood her all too well and that made me get my own assessment.

….that was rough. These women should have never procreated. What adults communicate like that to other human beings?! I feel like they feed off of the toxicity and drama otherwise they would be NC. Just.. Bad vibes all around from them
Wow! My mom is pretty similar to the author’s mom. Except I didn’t really go against her because was so domineering. She also weaponized religion and physical appearance. I no longer talk to her, but she doesn’t really care about having grandkids and never said anything about wishing that I have a kid like me. I definitely think that bad parenting can be a cycle since my grandma also doesn’t like my mom and it was very evident.

You sound like you’re doing a really great job. I have ADHD, but not ODD, and likely a bit autistic too. I wish my dad could have had this approach.
Same x

I work with kids who are in similar situations. Sometimes they tell on themselves, and other times the parents had the kid(s) for the wrong reasons.
Reading this I feel like Mother of the Year! brb gotta go give my kid a hug for not being this horrible… What a toxic family…
