“Your Mom Is Literally Satan”: Woman Accidentally Overheard Her Teen Talking To Friends, Found Out She Was Lying About Having Abusive Parents
Having friends is essential, especially when you’re a young and impressionable teen; you want to belong and be surrounded by peers who are willing to hang out, create great memories and conquer the unknown world.
When we’re all grown up, we prefer to stick with those who make us feel good and wanted. We long for a strong connection, and we’re not wasting our time on people who, perhaps, are not influencing us in a healthy way.
However, when we’re growing up, we have a tendency to fall for the illusion of being a part of something, simply to not seem like a “loner” – and sometimes, when we want to fit in, we do very questionable things that we’re bound to regret later.

Being falsely accused of things is never pleasant, especially when your own kid is claiming that you’re abusing her

“Mumsnet” is a UK-based online forum created for discussions between parents of children and teenagers; a mother of 3 recently decided to use the platform to seek advice from fellow parents concerning her daughter and all the false accusations she’s mentioned to her friends.
Teen daughter lied to friends about having abusive parents, says she did it to fit in

A concerned mother began her post by revealing that for the last few months she’s been hearing her 15-year-old daughter badmouthing both her and her husband on Discord.
The teen called her parents losers, she claimed that they don’t understand her and, as the author said, it seems that her friends reciprocate with dreadful stories about their own parents.

One day, the OP went out for a walk while her husband and son were busy with an event. Unfortunately, it started to rain, so she had to walk back home, but because her boots were muddy, she came round the back where her daughter wouldn’t have heard her.
The author immediately caught her daughter chatting to her friends. The things that the 15-year-old said completely shocked the mother, so she sat still and listened.

The OP mentioned that usually, her daughter has her headphones on and she can only hear her responses – however, that day she didn’t and the poor mother also heard her teen’s friends’ remarks.
They called the woman “Satan”, said that her dad should divorce her mother and take the 15 Y.O with him, while others argued that they should put her in a foster care to “give her the chance of a happy family”.

Someone began sharing their own story and said that their mother fat-shamed them by saying that they didn’t need more sugar when they reached out to grab another chocolate bar; the woman’s daughter then responded by revealing that her mom only lets her have 800 calories a day.
The friends replied with a couple of comments such as: “if she lets you out of the bedroom!”, while also asking whether the OP was still locking her up.

When her daughter’s peers accused the woman of being homophobic, she simply couldn’t believe it; the author shared that she always took her daughter to see her girlfriend, nobody ever laid a finger on her and that both parents are very involved in all of their children’s lives.
The author spent some time processing all the bashing and finally decided to confront her offspring. Turns out, all of her teen’s friends have horrible parents and she decided to create these characters to fit in.

The OP told her 15-year-old that accusing her family of child abuse is extremely dangerous, let alone hurtful. She said that if she needs to make such horrible things up in order to have a connection with her friends, she needs better ones.
The woman was infuriated; what if those kids tell their parents who will then contact the authorities? She was in disbelief that her beloved daughter could’ve done such a thing.

After their conversation, the teen demanded that her mother stop acting as if she’s done something “bad”; the 15 Y.O. later slammed the door and started screaming about free speech and people being excessively offended by things.

This is f***ing insane. That is not normal teenage behaviour like WHO LIES ABOUT HAVING ABUSIVE PARENTS!! That’s an insult to people who actually have to suffer from parental abuse!

I can name you half a dozen from when I was in high school. Kids who feel like they need more attention than they're getting, and fall into a circle of similar kids who all think they need to one-up each other. Heck, a group of kids in small town, with the help of misguided child psychologists, invented a whole band of child-sacrificing satan-worshippers in the 1980s.

What if one of those kids tells their parents what she said and Child Protective Services is called? That is a nightmare unto itself. My mother and I did not get along but I would never have said things like that about her. And I know my kids don't as well. That is absolutely not normal teenage Behavior

I saw on reddit that a kid lied and CPS came. The parents were divorced. There were also stepkids, so the mom sent her to her dad, who was a lot more strict and she wanted to come back, but she didn't let her. CPS may take all the kids away.

Wow, this is so close to what we are going through with my teen girl. Thankfully she hasn’t accused me of abuse… though she talks so horribly about us with her friends and even some family. It’s too devastating to go into detail about it, but the hurt and betrayal I felt when I found out.

I don’t believe my kids owe me anything for raising them… they didn’t ask to be born. However, when I have completely gone the extra miles to my own physical, mental, and emotional detriment… I at least deserve not to be talked about like that. ***For just a small taste it all mainly happened when I was supporting her school play and different drama clubs she was in. So many very late nights taking her places and picking her up from places, while completely exhausted from a full days of work. After driving myself to exhaustion, when all of this coming to light, one line just devastated me. She said to her Aunt, she didn’t give a f*** if I showed up to watch her play. 🤦🏻♀️ I had supported her 100% with money and more importantly with my time, all with very little complaining (occasionally good-natured complaining only).
