Hey Pandas, What’s The Worst Thing A Parent Has Ever Said To You? (Closed)

Can be whatever, and I'm sorry any of this happened, but you can share or vent here.

My step father went to jail for molesting me. My mother, shortly before I went into foster care, told me I was the reason she lost the best thing that ever happened to her. Yes, she was referring to my step father.

When I was about 8 years old my family (mom, dad, 4 older siblings and I) went to family counseling and the counselor told me that me because my dad was an alcoholic while my mom was pregnant with me that I was destined to be an alcoholic too. That really messed me up, so badly that even the smell of beer makes me physically ill to this day (at age 49). When I was about 30 or so, I finally got the courage to tell my mom how much this whole counseling experience messed me up and that I think about it a lot and it still bothers me. She asked me why I couldn't just shut up and be grateful because apparently the counseling worked because it kept me from becoming an alcoholic. Definitely the last time I tried to talk about my feelings and how the past has affected me...

"Now you've got them doing it too!" This was said by my mom after my brother and sister freaked out about a bug. I have panic attacks because of multilegged things so somehow it's my fault they got scared. Either when I was blamed for their divorce or when they said nothing and walked away

“That’s the most selfish thing to do” after I told my mom that I wanted to commit suicide. She went on to tell how selfish that would be and started yelling at me for thinking that. And then said “people have it so much worse than you” instead of reassuring me not to do it. So if you see this and you are also struggling just hold on a little harder for your friends that love you. Any of the pets you have if you have them. And for everything that life has for you in the future.

I am in a safe situation now. My family is just poisonous and I took myself away from them about 5 years ago. I really didn't mean to sound hard, or hard hearted. There's just so much secrecy around that kind of abuse and a large part of it is for the comfort of other people. It makes people so uncomfortable that this fact about me - that I lived through this, that I survived and went on to have a life - gets pushed into the dark along with the abuse. It takes people like me from survivor to victim. When I was 12, I put my father in prison. I stayed a good person despite the horrible people who raised me and have been a good mother to my own children. (Mostly because of the excellent examples I had of what not to do ;) ) What happened to me is a big part of how I was shaped. Hiding what I lived through hides the strength it took to live through it.

Once I picked out an outfit I thought looked cute in 6th grade (cant remember exactly what outfit) and I felt so confident because it was something new, when I usually wore darker colors, this outfit was COLORFUL, so I came downstairs and my mom took one look at me and said something along the lines of "why do you look homeless in everything you wear" and that scarred me, I immediately went upstairs and changed my clothes back to darker colors, put a hoodie on, and hid my hair and boom thats how you get self esteem issues kids, if you're a mom please don't tell your kid they look bad in something.

Age 10, first Thanksgiving with my step-family. I had been playing with all the step-cousins around front but went to the kitchen to get something to drink. I walk in on my dad telling my step-uncle how perfect my step-sister is — smart, studious, athletic, obedient, ladylike, etc. Then he said I was just the opposite — obstinate, willful, lazy, a waste of talent, etc. I started crying and ran back out front to my step-cousins. My dad chased after me, grabbed me, slapped me and said, “what did you expect me to do - lie?” He kept slapping me until I stopped crying. None of the other adults intervened. Everyone went to sit down for dinner after as of nothing happened and I was just left standing there by myself.

ETA it took 35 years to finally accept I have cPTSD from growing up in that household. i used to think I just did not like football (American) but when my psychologist took me through EMDR around the Thanksgiving episode I realized that all the things I experienced around football (anxiety, nausea, headaches, sweating, dehydration, etc.) were symptoms of a PTSD episode. I didn't even realize I had really been experiencing those things until after EMDR and I rarely experience those symptoms around football anymore. I was like "oh, that's what a PTSD flashback is!" It all of a sudden just made sense.

I have several, but here are 3...

1. I was in 3rd grade and my parents sat me down and told me I was fat. They put chains and pad locks on the fridge and cupboards and signed me up for Weight Watchers by lying about my age. I suffered from eating disorders off and on since.

2. I was having my 16th birthday party and was standing at the crossroads ready to show guests to my house when my mom said my friend and I looked like hookers.

3. I was graduating college and I was told not to have a party because it would make my brother feel bad.

Omg, I have so many. Time to call the therapist....

When I was 11 I broke my arm for the second time in my life, the hospital didn't immediately set my arm they had me stay overnight and were going to do it the next morning. So my mother seemed really angry about the inconvenience, I didn't really know at the time there were a lot of problems between her and my dad, and they would be divorced in just a few years. I asked if my dad could stay the night with me at the hospital so she could go back to work because she was complaining about missing work. The next morning they set my arm and both my parents were there when I went in but my dad went to work once he knew I was ok. So my mom was carrying me home, we stopped to eat and in the middle of the meal for with no prompt at all my mother says to me, "You wouldn't have broken your arm if you weren't so fat and clumsy." It felt like a punch I had never had either of my parents say anything remotely close to that to me, my mother wanted to hurt me I guess, it worked. I still think about. I get along with my mother she is a great mother, she was going through a dark point in her life and that doesn't in any way excuse what she did. Although I did get a small amount of unintended revenge on her. When I was 15 I would break my arm yet again, I don't have brittle bones or anything, just bad luck. My mother was working at the time, so she left work and met us at the emergency room door when my grandmother brought me. I see my mother and start crying and apologizing to her, sobbing and saying "I'm sorry momma I didn't mean to do it." My mother said she felt so awful in that moment having her son apologize to her for hurting himself, and she said all the staff looked at her in that moment like she was a monster. I can't stress this enough my mother really is a wonderful woman and I love her very much and we have a great relationship.

Pretty much everything my dad has said, and hasn’t said, but this hurt me the most.
One time I was driving to my friends house to eat dinner, and my dad didn’t know. When my dad called me and my mom were at the grocery store. She told him where we were and where we were going. He freaked out. He said he was gonna take me away from my mom, that he was gonna sl1t my moms throat. When we got to my friends house, I couldn’t speak. He’s told me to stop getting distracted, that I’m acting like a brat, he told me to my face that I’m a mistake, he’s told me that I need to be perfect. I’m scared of my dad, he said that I’m not. My dad doesn’t listen, when I’m trying to tell him how he’s making me feel, he tells me that it isn’t true, that I’m a liar. He’s part of the reason I’m suicidal. He KNOWS I have a type of ADHD, and he KNOWS I have anxiety, he doesn’t help with that. The thing my dad has done to hurt me the most, is what he hasn’t said.

My mom said “You are too big, too tall, too loud, too fat” I came out looking Iike my dad’s side of the family, that are tall, and voluptuous. She is petite. That still hunts me to this day.

When I was a teenager my mom explained to me that I should always have a backup plan when I get married, because no matter how much you trust someone “you just never know,”. Thanks mom, I’m in a trusting and secure marriage with a wonderful guy now, making sure that lesson never pops back into my head and screws things up.

Me and my grandmother where in an argument about like when I get older, how to dress, "being pretty and stuff" and she ended saying I dress like a "hobo" and how "guys arent attracted to that type of thing "or whatever. There was more to the conversation, so I think she was just kinda upset at me for other reasons, but that still bothers me. Another time she was talking about how rude and crude she thinks lesbians are and said "I think all lesbians deserve to be shot". It's hard how literal she is sometimes, and I know she loves me and all, but gosh some of that stuff she says sometimes just really messes with me😢

My grandmother had Bipolar Type II. (Which wasn’t figured out until I went to college for psychology and social work and figured it out.) She was legally married and divorced 14 times that we know of and moved my mom and her siblings all over the Midwest their whole life. When I told my mom that my first husband was physically, emotionally and sexually abusive and also cheating on me and I wanted to leave, my mom said “You don’t wanna be like grandma, do you?” She was implying I needed to stay to save face. She has always been more concerned about coddling and enabling my older brother to care about any issue in my life. He was having relationship issues at the time as well but did not have someone physically hurting him daily and having a gun held to his head when trying to leave the relationship so I’m still in shock that his issues mattered more. He’s a selfish, manipulative narcissist and my mother just plays into it and treats us completely differently. Realizing it all has really destroyed my relationship with my mom and brother. I did get out though with legal help and strength and intelligence of my own and am happily married to someone who is not abusive in any way. But that comment and neglect still really hurts to this day.

I'm so sorry that everyone had to go through this. I really hope you are all in a better, happier, healthier place. You are just perfect the way you are and no one, not even your parents, can/should tell you otherwise.

I got told "I completely forgot you existed" after waiting for four and a half hours outside of school in December for a ride home. So that messed me up.
