When Patrick brought up how useless it is to confront parents about the past, a burden was lifted. One thing I always hated about talking to my mother about my trauma was that she would apologize followed by āthings just never got better. I always prayed for things to get better but they didnātā or āI didnāt have a mother. The same things happened to me as a child.ā She is incapable of any type of analysis beyond God never brought anyone in her life to help her. In her mind accountability is āIām sorry. But youāre fine now right? Letās move on.ā
I remember when I told her that her physically abusive boyfriend was having sex with me (I watched him pull a gun on her). After she kicked him out, a couple days later she said āI just want to let you know that in Godās eyes youāre still a virgin.ā I honestly feel that was the biggest contributor to me despising religion. That was such an off base remark and response to what I went through. As if I gave two shits about where I stood with God.

[15:00] "Healthy Kids are gonna test limits. Neglected Kids are gonna test if their parents are gonna show up for them"
So true, that's the difference between good enough and toxic parenting in one sentence. Thank you so much!

This comment section is the most comforting and reassuring thing I've seen in years. Thank you all for your comments. the abuse I experienced, and feel today, is not crazy or just who I am. How profoundly reassuring is it to be validated by hundreds of comments. Never stop what you're doing Patrick. :')

I think a big one for me is that I'd always be treated as an adult when it was convenient for my parents. If I brought home a bad grade as a kid, my dad would tell me "You didn't do your part/job, my job is to make money, yours it to do well in school." But if I asked if I could go on an overnight field trip as a high schooler, I would be treated as a kid and told no, I had to stay home for no discernible reason.

Hearing you describe the parent expecting their child to behave like an adult w/o ever giving them the guidance, support and knowledge needed to behave that way, as "top tier trauma" felt like my issues surrounding change and taking risks had finally been validated after 37 yrs. Thank you. I needed to hear that so much.

"Their emotions are wrong or too much for other" hit like a train. I subdue so much of what I'm feeling because it historically is not the right response. Hearing "you're too sensitive" really does a number on you. Being told to stop crying because it's not that serious. "Just get over it." Uhg it puts my stomach in knots just thinking about it.

Yiiiiikes. I didnāt realize character assassinating the other parent is abusive to the child. Thank you for pointing it out. My parents did this both constantly by attributing any ānegative traitā they imagine of me to the other parent by saying āyou got this stupidness or ugliness from your mom or dadā. Itās maddening or sick .

I sometimes see my responses as a parent highlighted in your videos. I automatically defend myself in my mind, but I am glad you talk me through it and teach me new ways to interact with and validate my daughter. My goal is to end generational trauma, so I regularly fall into my automatic responses that are mirrored by my toxic relationship with my mom. Iām glad you help me face reality AND provide solutions. I am so thankful for you!

I can crystallize the struggle in my childhood being my mothers inability to deal with her anger. She was rage filled but silent. She would withdraw...for days. Physically present, I was always fed and cared for, but I lived on eggshells because I thought I had done something wrong. It was only when i met a few three and four and five year olds as a grown woman and witnessed their vulnerability and trust and perceptiveness that i realized how very confusing and painful it was.. I've spent a lifetime reading people in a hyperfocused kind of way, and being paralyzed by anyone's anger....including my own. "Abuse around the perception of how you see yourself"

My parents never taught me life skills. As a kid I didnāt know that I was supposed to learn those things. But as I got older my parents would start criticizing me for not knowing how to do the things they never taught me.
