“Yes, We Are In Therapy”: 30 Parents Share The Most Disturbing Thing They’ve Seen Their Child Do My daughter told me about her imaginary friend... details... dress color... hair color... on and on and on. I stood there saying "oh that's neat" at 3am trying to coax her back to sleep. Then she said "oh she says she knows you. Her name is Mischa!" Growing up i'd also had an imaginary friend named Mischa. Instantly awake. She fell back to sleep a little later and I figured it was a fluke.

Couple of months later mom gave me a box of drawings she'd found cleaning out the closet from when I was young- 3 or 4- and while going through them my daughter grabs my arm and says "see- Mischa!" and pointed to a drawing I'd done from school titled "my friends". Same color dress (yellow) same hair color (reddish black). Nearly s**t myself. I don't believe in the supernatural, and nothing remotely like this has happened since in the 4 years since this happened and her imaginary friend has come and gone, but her sister is turning 3 and I'm waiting for the name again.

I don't remember the "girl" I used to play with in the woods by my childhood house, but my daughter had backstory that sounded very familiar. Id try to press her for details when all this was going on and my daughter would just giggle and say "you know, dada, you just forgot. That's ok." and pat my arm and walk away.

About 2 months before I got pregnant with her, I had a miscarriage. So here she is, about 3 years old and she starts to apologize, "mommy I'm sorry I had to leave you" I asked her what she meant, she said "I was in your belly but I had to go away, then I came back and stay and I'm here now." she didn't know about the miscarriage.

“Yes, We Are In Therapy”: 30 Parents Share The Most Disturbing Thing They’ve Seen Their Child Do I came here in hopes of feeling better about myself and my son (4yrs)..... But here we go.

My son, for over a year has been afraid of something green in the same spot on the ceiling. He continues to tell me, "shh, don't wake the Grinch."

At day care, he has face stomped a kid at nap time, because he took a toy horse from my son on day one at the day care.

Used a toy stethoscope to choke a kid ( because he wanted the toy) when I tried to explain how it hurt the kid, my son told me, well he didn't say anything.
No child, he didn't say anything because he couldn't breathe.

Yes, we are in therapy.

“Yes, We Are In Therapy”: 30 Parents Share The Most Disturbing Thing They’ve Seen Their Child Do Woke up to my Mom's house mate's kid (5 years old?) sneaking through the house with a 10" chef knife at like 2am. He gave me the knife and I asked him what he was doing. He said he was afraid of "the man who walks around in the yard at night" and said he was out there now.

I hyped up both my dogs and we searched EVERYWHERE. Yard, shed, barn, under the house, ect. Didn't find anyone. Super worrisome.

The next morning I told his mom and she was like "oh yeah, he just does that sometimes. It's like his monster under the bed or whatever." She just put the knives on a shelf he couldn't reach.

“Yes, We Are In Therapy”: 30 Parents Share The Most Disturbing Thing They’ve Seen Their Child Do I'm thirteen years older than my sister, so I basically functioned as a third parent, and I've always thought she was a touch off. When she was about four or five, she had a phase where she kept tying her toys together. I'd come in a room she had been playing in, and she'd have a string wrapped around a toy horse's neck, then wrapped around a lamp, then wrapped around a doll's neck, then wrapped around a chair leg--and there'd be several strings and ropes tied in this way.

Literally the entire room would be a web of toys and strings. It looked like a child's version of a SAW movie, and it was a pain in the butt to help her clean up. One day when I was watching her I told her not to do it, she agreed, and then I came back in not too long after and she had somehow done it anyway.

She was sitting in a chair looking at me indirectly, like she was nervous. I was irritated and asked her why she did it after she said she wouldn't, and she said the most future-serial-k*ller sentence I have ever heard: Sometimes I just do things and I don't really understand why I'm doing them.

Not a parent, but me freaking my parents out--

My mom used to get migraines a lot when I was little. I had a small stuffed animal named Peaches, and I guess I was scared or nervous about my mom's health and trying to deal with it because apparently I decided that Peaches got a lot of migraines too. This went on for a while-- I had to take care of Peaches because he always had headaches. I must've been four or five at the time.

Then someone left the TV on by accident and I saw a news segment about acupuncture. I was overjoyed and went into my mom's sewing kit and stuck a whole bunch of push-pins deep into Peaches' head. Nobody noticed right away and I think it was a few days later when my mom or dad saw me carrying Peaches around and noticed a shitton of needles crammed in there. My uncle asked me why I did that and I was calm and content when I looked at him, shrugged, and said *"Peaches doesn't have headaches anymore."*

Since he didn't know the backstory, according to him it was the creepiest thing I've ever said, like a little pigtailed psychopath. It took my parents a bit of digging to figure out my rationale and where it came from, and that I'd been trying to fix, not kill, my favorite stuffed animal. It was pretty straightforward for them to explain "uhhh.... no, never do that" but hopefully they moved the sewing kit to a higher shelf anyway.

“Yes, We Are In Therapy”: 30 Parents Share The Most Disturbing Thing They’ve Seen Their Child Do My daughter ran into my room at like 1:30 in the morning and told me there was a man watching her through her window. I ran outside ready to beat the s**t out of someone and to my surprise, there was no one there. In confusion i looked through the window only to see her covering her eyes. I waited untill she opened her eyes to tell her that its alright but next thing i know she yelled "LOOK OUT DAD". I turn around and threw a punch, and hit absolutely nothing. She then ran outside with a knife and stabbed the floor and said "we did it , we k*lled it". I asked her to draw a picture of "it" and she drew something that resembled a red enderman.

I was a newly single parent, working on a divorce, first (very small) apartment I achieved on my own, post separation. I decided to get my kids a cat. My then 5 year old, who has a few behavioral disorders (adhd, odd, spd, ptsd). She’s struggling to cope and manage her disorders so she has to be watched closely at all times. One day she’s playing with the cat and I hear the microwave shut. She was not allowed to use any kitchen appliances on her own. So yup, if you guessed she put the cat in the microwave, you’re correct. Luckily as soon as I heard it I jumped up and ran. She didn’t turn it on, but she did find herself grounded, including from the cat.

Another time, almost 2 years ago. Still struggling with all of her behavioral disorders. I had moved into a bigger house, safety plan still in place for said child. We are about to watch a movie or something, and get everything ready (snacks, blankets etc) and child goes missing. She liked to hide in places and not come out until she was found. After searching all of her hiding spots, she’s still not found. After about 30 minutes of looking (felt like an eternity) and about 5 minutes before I called 911. She turns up at the front door. Absolutely filthy. Pupils dilated to the size of saucers. Her excuse was “the cat wanted to show how he gets in and out from the basement” I have no idea what kind of narnia a*s wardrobe this cat took her to.

Roughly same time, said child liked to draw, paint, and color. One day she brings me some of her art work. But this time, it is a story, or some sort of lyrics. At this time she was behind academically and didn’t know how to read, or write or words very well.. but here this letter talks about demons and how lost she would be without me. Some scary, eye catching stuff coming from your young child. I kept this letter, to remind all of us how far she’s come, hard times do get better

Needless to say, safety measures became more strict, psychologist was fired, meds put in place. She is no longer impulsive or defiant to this extent. She’s now struggling with sleep paralysis but we have made phenomenal grounds over the last year.

Sorry to say this, but *that* child should not be near pets. Pets are not toys or therapy stuff. They are living creatures who deserve to be well looked after. The kid is obviously struggling with much more then she can manage, but she is dangerous. People like this parent are the reason why I never give a cat for adoption to people with little children. Animals are not toys. They don't deserve such stress.

You should NEVER get a child that has known behavioral issues a living being to take care of. You are a bad mother for allowing that cat to be treated so horribly by the child and not protecting the cat from the beginning until you KNEW the child wouldn't hurt it.

Sera 1 month ago

Do you also advocate for rehoming your existing pets when you have a baby? Toddlers are notoriously bad at proper animal husbandry and can very easily injure or upset household pets. People keep having and getting pets whilst owning toddlers, though, and you have stated no issue with this. Instead you're placing an incredibly high burden of proof on the parent of a special-needs child - to guarantee a negative before that child *or any others in the household* can benefit from the presence of an animal - something that has known therapeutic value for children such as the one described here. Frankly, a completely neurotypical, "well" child could easily have done the same thing as this child. Young children do not have the same mental capacity to understand consequences that adults do. Heck, neither do young adults, since the prefrontal cortex isn't fully developed until the mid 20s.

ODD is complete bollox. It's diagnosis criteria is arbitrary and mostly crosses over with OCD, ADHD, bipolar, and anxiety disorder. Over 90% of children - and it's only diagnosed in children - diagnosed with ODD are re-diagnosed with one of those four conditions. In some communities, ODD diagnoses are given to children on the basis of dressing in a GNC way as 'defiance'. That a child with a diagnosis of ADHD also has this ODD diagnosis is even more nuts. Kid just has ADHD.

ॐBoyGanesh 1 month ago (edited)

It’s crazy that ODD is still such a common diagnosis when after 12 over 2/3 previously diagnosed as such are re-evaluated with a different diagnosis. We need to not pathologize every single behavior into tight boxes. I’m not denying a prevalence of ADHD, OCD, generalized anxiety disorders and the like, given better diagnostic tools & better understanding of the brain. But treating every behavior that doesn’t conform to proper social constructs as ODD is inappropriate & lazy. Saw a study comparing socially acceptable behaviors in different cultures and how a kid would be considered developing normally in one & completely marginalized with defiant disorder in another. Kids being kids is a LOT of work. Especially when one has to manage 30 of them. But that doesn’t make everything they do or their imagination a disorder. Not denying there ARE children with psycho-social problems that are indeed disorders, and I hate the “boys will be boys” cop-out, but we need to slow down with the ICD.

Perhaps not disturbing, but terrifying as a parent. We were on a vacation in Chicago staying at a random Fairfiled Inn or something downtown. Our bed was separated by a divider in the room and two of our kids were sleeping in a pull out couch on the other side. Around 3am awoke to sounds of velcro and it sounded like my kid was putting his shoes on (he was). Next thing I know I hear the hotel room door opening. I leaped further than I thought possible across the entire suite and was able to grab him just as the door was about to close and pulled him back into the room.

He was sleepwalking, but I shudder to think what might've happened if I wasn't roused by the sound of him putting on shoes.....

It was particularly odd, because she's not the kind of kid that's creative with names (every dog stuffed animal is named "Doggie", dolls are "Dolly", etc. So the ghost having a very clear, real name was unusual for her. For months she'd tell me about Charlie and how he hangs out in the tree by her window.

I’m not a parent but I’ll be speaking on my parents behalf, as I did something pretty disturbing when I was a wee boy, much too young to remember. We were celebrating Christmas at my grandparents house in Louisiana and idk how it happened but at some point I gashed my hand wide open.

Usually a small child would scream and cry, but apparently I just waddled through the kitchen, completely expressionless, and into the next room over. In said room was a very old Bible, I think it was my great grandmas. My family noticed my lack of presence in the kitchen and went searching for me.

They eventually found me smearing my bloody hand all over the old Bible and tearing it’s pages to shreds. I’m not religious but this story has always creeped me out, idk what got into me, but I guess I was pretty metal back then lmao.

Based on these examples, I should have been "terrified" about a thousand times over by now. Do most people think that kids are just small adults? Kids do weird s**t!

I did weird things as a kid, I used to draw monsters and then fantasize about how I was murdering them in a whole other world. I genuinely thought that the world existed and had multiple dreams about it. Me mum also told me I used to hold my hand over my head and talk, but not directly to it?

It seems pretty normal for kids to do weird things

A lot of kids hear and see things they cannot understand. They will think about it, fantasize or dream about it. If it happens once or twice the best thing you can do is ignoring it. Only if your kid is really terified or the behaviour is alarming, you have to find out more about it. What can cause it? What can you do to help your child? Does your child need therapy?

Hardly any of these are creepy. They are mostly stupid s**t kids do or say, because they don't fully understand what they're saying means. These parents either need to read books on stupid stuff kids say and do, or ask their own parents about this before making themselves look like idiots on social media.

I used to watch old reruns of Art Linkletter on "Kids Say the Darndest Things." One of the questions he always asked was, "What did your parents say not to do or say when you get up here?" Some of the answers were priceless.

My mom, as a very small child used to construct models of a specific kind of fountain that is found in my country in a far away region. They were dirt poor then, just after the WW2 and the ensuing famine, so no access to TV or paintings.

So you neither have met any children nor have you been a child yourself? 😉 Stuff like this happens everyday, the stories sound realistic.

Once, when I was younger (around 7) I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like someone was watching me. I looked over to my doorway and there was a woman standing there. I just laid there staring at her till she went away, being a fearless/stupid kid, I followed her. Sadly she disappeared and I never saw her again. In the morning I asked my mom if she had checked on me in the night, she said "no." looking back I'm not surprised this happened, our door was never locked and we had multiple windows broken.

I once had a reputation as a pedantic skeptic among people I knew, but seeing how my own children had very specific preferences, affinities, and talents from the time they were very small, it is hard not to believe that they may have been here before.

I used to be the creepy kid. Nothing wrong, I just thought it was funny when people were weirded out

when my lil sis was about 3yo, she would scream in at random times and when we asked her what was wrong she said:there's a red man there, there's a hole with yellow spots, (after she learned the word somehow) there's a demon with wings! It freaked me out, she doesn't do that anymore, but still...

Mom: who are you talking to? Me: the girl in my room what girl? The one who used to live here. Yeah, she died in that room. Brother used to speak to someone as well at night. There was a guy in our pantry. Weird light flash and a loud booming sound one night (no storm). That house had history.

So we lived with my parents in 1996 for a bit while building a house. My son was 2.5 and had never seen Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck etc (it was not on TV then and we had no videos etc). One morning he told me that Daffy Duck was in his bedroom the night before. He referred to Daffy several times but no idea why. Fast Forward 3 years and we were at an amusement park where there were costumed actors in Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck suits. He saw the Daffy Duck and just took off running and screaming. My folks' house is notoriously haunted and I think something manifested like Daffy Duck. Creepy.

*I* need therapy after this post. Holy moly :-/ Also, ONE of the reasons I don't want children. I don't trust my genes and I don't have any philosophies about being a good mother. I don't trust myself either.

Many parents underestimate the things kids see or overhears, like TV or internet. Some of these can be explained this way. Not all of them, I guess.
