Not every kid's family life is like in The Brady Bunch. Some children grow up with pretty messed up people for parents. Research shows that 63.9% of U.S. adults report having at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) – a potentially traumatic event.

But social media has made it easier for adolescents and adult children to share their childhood traumas and take comfort in the fact that they have many brothers and sisters of similar fates. This time, we have a compilation just for them – the moments when toxic parents acted particularly infuriatingly.

So, those who grew up in a healthy family might want to go kiss their mom and dad for some extra appreciation after going through this list!

My Mom Just Asked Me For $600 When I Work A Minimum-Wage Job, Then Tells Me To Stop Spending

CHIEFXx Report

People may throw around the word 'toxic' nowadays when talking about almost anything. But when the topic is unsupportive and difficult parents, it's mostly fitting. As Psychologist Chivonna Childs, Ph.D., explains, toxic parents are those who put their own needs in front of the needs of their child. "They're more self-centered than other-centered," she says.

The most obvious signs are, of course, physical and verbal abuse. Emotional abuse might be harder to spot. Things like stonewalling, silent treatment, manipulation, blaming, etc. Not respecting your boundaries is also a common trait in toxic parents.

Showing Up Late To A Planned Dinner

Showing Up Late To A Planned Dinner

My parents are notorious for showing up late. If a party is at 3, you can expect them at 4:30. We had dinner plans at 5 p.m. today, and it’s 7:39 p.m. and they are still not here. I want to pack everything up and tell them not to come over.

My mother used to say the same about my beard... Her favorite thing was to say "what if died tommorrow" followed by attempts at guilt tripping. My usual answer to that was to tell her she's been trying to die tommorrow for thirty years now and yet she's still here. Usually shut her right up.

That sounds pretty narcissistic, doesn't it? Not all toxic parents are narcissists per se. But narcissistic parents share some toxic traits. Clinical Psychologist Ramani Durvasula distinguishes the most prominent six: 

ADVERTISEMENT
  1. They support you in public but criticize you in private;
  2. They create a space of mistrust;
  3. They treat you differently from your siblings;
  4. They treat their kids as extensions of themselves;
  5. They want their child to mirror their emotions;
  6. And they shame you for having or expressing your needs.

My Mother’s Response To Going No Contact

For context, my father is in prison for molesting me. Mom still denies that I was abused and insists that I had a great childhood. She wanted to have a better relationship with me, so she volunteered to watch my daughter once a week. Then she decided she needed a roommate. I asked her not to get a male roommate because I would worry about my child. She acted so offended that I would worry about such a thing. I got really upset.

My Mom Took A Bite Of My Birthday Cake That I Bought For Myself

My Mom Took A Bite Of My Birthday Cake That I Bought For Myself

Yesterday was my birthday, and to celebrate it, I bought two slices of cake after work to enjoy, but because it was late, I put it in the fridge to eat later. I was a little stressed recently, so when I got off work today, I felt happy because I was about to enjoy some cake that I hadn't had in a while. However, when I opened the fridge, I saw that my mom took a bite out of them. Yes, she knew it was my birthday yesterday. No, I don't think she cared.
I might be a little overreacting, but I'm feeling more than a little upset over it. I know it's not a big deal, but it's just the principle of the thing, you know? My mood was immediately shattered.
Just to add the day of my birthday, she asked me to take her out for dinner. I think she's mixing up whose birthday it was.

I went through smth. similar while I was in college and still living with my parents. I had classes at the university all day long. With my very little money, I'd buy some cheap cheese to make sandwiches (the only lunch I could afford). Several times, my father and my brother found the cheese I had hidden in the fridge and ate it all (although there was cooked food available). I had no choice but to eat empty bread. I argued with them on this matter, but they didn't care.

In fact, narcissistic parents are only one type of toxic parent. The other most common three are helicopter, dismissive, and passive/permissive parents. Helicopter parents don't let their children experience the world on their own. By trying to shield them from even the most minor dangers, they rob them of developing their own identity.

Dismissive parents often reject and show disdain toward their children. Clinical Social Worker Kimberly Perlin explains that dismissive mothers, in particular, are not empathetic to their child's needs. "They often send the message to their child that they are too needy or clingy when the child is expressing developmentally appropriate needs."

Permissive or passive parents fail to set boundaries for their children. They avoid confrontation at all costs, so the children may have difficulty with authority later in life. Jeff Nalin, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist, says that permissive parents "fail to teach their children to respect themselves and others, which can negatively impact the way they interact with teachers, peers, and authoritative figures."

What happens to children of toxic or narcissistic parents, and how do they differ from those who grow up in healthy families? Most often, they're plagued by self-doubt. They constantly battle the anxiety that they're not good enough. Not good enough at their job, at being a parent, a friend, or even at being a good son or daughter.

Peg Streep, the author of "Daughter Detox: Recovering from an Unloving Mother and Reclaiming Your Life," told HuffPost that the main thing people who grew up in a toxic family environment should remember is that the only person they can change is themselves.

It’s My First Baby

It’s My First Baby

Explanation: This is my first baby, and so far we have only told a few people (close family). We obviously included my mother-in-law in that. My partner has kids from a previous relationship, and we wanted to do a gender reveal for them. We sent a video of it to MIL because she asked to see it, and she posted it on Facebook. Announcing that not only am I pregnant, but the gender. I guess she’d had a few drinks. The worst part of it all was that once she sobered up nothing changed. This is the conversation. Am I really overreacting?

Sharon Martin, LCSW, says that a support system is crucial for those who grew up with toxic people. That means either a support group or a mental health professional. The term 'chosen family' also entered our collective lexicon for a reason. The people who love and support you don't necessarily have to be your family members, so don't be afraid to seek support and care from other people!

And she wonders why I don't hang out with her.
This is not the first time she has tried donating or binning my clothes. Most of the time, she just takes them and tries to do away with them without telling me. But I usually notice and call her out on it. Instead of being apologetic, she insists (forces) that I get rid of them. Her reasoning is usually, "They're ugly. I don't like them," "They're ratty," and "I don't like that color." This time, it was "They're worn thin (they were manufactured thin)."

He means well, I’m sure. Because someone loves Jesus, it doesn’t make them a fruitcake. Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven. Extraordinary enthusiasm leads new Christians to become obnoxious, as well as some older ones, but intentions are sincere. But I totally agree that he should back off. He has crossed lines.
