Damn

Thank you!

No kidding! You just described my childhood with my mother....

Just wanted to clarify it's a grown woman twitting it.

I've seen kids do this. I'm sorry you have to live with that!

Soooo true! I've written it on BP before - some parents/families are terribly toxic people and the best thing that you can do is to cut ties with them and live your life without them.

I wanna talk abt the actual picture here...why is this baby not also protected

This was the question I got from my family. "Why don't you ever come over for the holidays?" Because I don't care to travel almost 2 hours to have a quick meal that eventually deteriorates into a full scale screaming match. When I went to college, I was encouraged by a friend to cut out the negative influences in my life. My family is extremely negative. Out of my parents, my 3 siblings and my cousins...the only one I have time for is my sister...and only because we've supported each other so much through the years. Just because they are related to you by blood does not mean you should obligate yourself to their abuse. The way to rise up is to shed the weights that are holding you down. Who knows..you may encourage them to take a turn towards change.

But it’s always at the wrong time...

Let me fix this. My mother is a horrible person. She treats everyone like c**p. Screams at everyone. Has the mouth of a drunken sailor and will steal the shirt off your back when you're not looking. That being said, I still love her...I just hate the things she does. I know she was dealt a crappy hand in life, but that doesn't excuse her behavior. I know she has mental issues that she doesn't want to get help for and that's her choice. But it doesn't mean I make myself open to her abuses and her behavior. I can worry about her and would be devastated if something happened to her. But I won't feed into her problems by opening myself up to her abuse.

That's going to be a hard conversation later.....

Thank God I have the kind of relationship with my child, that they felt they could come to me and talk about it when they weren't sure what they were feeling was "normal". My mother, however, refuses to accept she has an LGBT grandchild. She thinks she can pray the gay away; I have news for her...

I fostered a girl who, 5 years later came out to me as gay at the age of 14. She looked scared and about to cry so I hugged her and asked if her girlfriend was hot. Made her laugh and we chatted about it and she was happy to know I wasn't against it. She moved to Sweden to live with her now fiancée and they have a daughter and we keep in touch (Yes, she is still gay and her fiancée is female too) We joke about how hot her fiancée is and her fiancée joins in with comments like "I can't help being born beautiful!" She is hilarious and I'm glad they are together and sharing so much love

I know friends who are that are freakishly scared to come out to their parents and it breaks what heart I have left.

And this is why I haven't my grandparents that I am aroace and trans 😬🏳️‍🌈

my grandma in a nutshell

you poor thing

Haha I'm a closeted bisexual too, but I don't think my parents have ever said anything like that...

I 100% guarantee that that parent already knows their child is LBGT and this is some emotional manipulation BS.

My mom and dad support me but to anybody who doesnt have that support i support you 100000%

*sighs* mother you might want to sit down for this…

My dad is homophobic and transphobic and kinda racist, but not in the traditional way... he makes jokes Bout gays being confused and how I cant be trans because I don't have boy bits, and that there's a weekly gender club where im mailed a new one every week. And my mom? Defends everything. Thankfully, im shielded from picking up their dumbass homophobic s**t because I am out and personally trans and asexual and omniro and stuff

this is my situation lmao

Me with dad

Lol

I'm so glad that none of my children is LGBT and having to deal with all of those problems.

let it be known that i, a random stranger on the internet will support the maker of this meme no matter the actions of their family

PSA: If you are not prepared to accept your children no matter who they turn out to be, you should NOT become a parent. It's just horribly irresponsible and unfair to make them choose between their identity and your beliefs.

Why would that be awful again? If they're your child you should support whoever they are.

Yeah, my mom (indirectly) said the same when we were talking about a transgender friend of mine. "Well, at least they're not my child". (*nervous transnoice*)

ahaha i told my mum that im bisexual and she said it was "a teen rebellious stage" and that she "felt things romantically to her female friends" but she "wasn't gay at all"..... how should i break it to her...

Ha! Jodi Foster! I remember when she looked like this!

Why is this so true? Honestly I'd show this to my parents but then I'd get a "Well you DO have it easy."

Dang. Bitter for you.

My husband looks at the floor anytime we have an argument. I kept thinking that he was just ignoring me. It would make me more furious. Then when I spent quite a bit of time with his mother, I realized she was the queen of lectures. Then I understood who had conditioned him to look at the floor. I approach arguments differently now..trying not to lecture but, instead, engaging him to express his thoughts. We've been able to overcome much more stress in our relationship because we both have a voice.

This just reminds me of that weird movie where this guy kidnaps a kid and winds up taking him Trick or Treating while he robs people because his Mom wouldn't let him trick or treat. Its called A Perfect World. Pretty interesting movie actually.

If you can't say it to their face, don't say it behind their back.

literally what all of my white friends used to say

My mom.... Everytime. And I'm 26

My son got into a fight at school. I was told he started it. I was furious because he knew that I didn't approve of fighting. Then I get to the school and was told that he attacked another kid in the hallway next to the school door to his classroom. After talking to witnesses, I find out that the boy in question had decided to call my son all sorts of nasty names (my son is autistic) including "stupid" and "r****d" because my son was holding the outside door open in ice cold weather so the bus driver could help a student in a wheelchair enter the building, also letting cold air in. The school explained that my son would receive a day in-school suspension, but that the other kid was being suspended for 3 days. I sat down and explained to him how to handle it differently next time and I explained the reason he was suspended for a day was because he took it to the next level of physical attack instead of getting an adult involved to make the kid stop.

Accurate description of childhood

Never tell your kids you had it worse. It's like telling them "I suffered more so you just need to suck it up!" Just listen to them.

Sad truth

This is true. When I was younger my mum hit me and pinched me and whatnot. Now, I stay in my room, and she tells me off when I "isolate" myself. I firmly believe she only stopped abusing me because we learnt about childline in school and I came home telling her all about it.

I wish I could do that... the problem is, my parents have to know EVERYTHING that I do. I swear, it feels like they are stalking me sometimes...
