These parents will never acknowledge that they are toxic.They can never be wrong no matter how you convince them or talk them .The best thing is to get financial independency when you are older and move out and love them from a distance.

It hurts to the core… the injustice and abuse that is perpetuated in the name of “I am your parents.” This is not different from what Africans cry out the colonizers did to them. Misusing what is perceived as an advantage, such as title, age, skin color to exploit and abuse others who are thought to be less than. God places such emphasis on parenting… but when humility isn’t regarded as the key attitude to adopt (the higher serves the lower), chaos, strife, resentment, abuse, rebellion, injustice become the norm…

And then they ask why you hardly talk to them and are withdrawn only to criticize you and defend themselves for it only to reinforce the alienation and original problems most of which are the parents' fault. That makes them hypocritical and continue to live in denial (because they don't know how and don't want to) and unfortunately be the same people behind the very problems that you have had addressed as well as make you struggle more than you should have had.

African parents are the worst (especially nigerian parents) when it comes to parenting, their children becomes their best investment, can you imagine being beaten by your parents and you won’t be able to retaliate? That sounds dehumanising. Respect is earned, not forced, but Nigerian parents turn to twist that upside down. I wish I had the power to change the African parenting style and change their mindset towards parenting. We need to drop some highly traditional values and norms for the better of Africa!🌍

With all do respect, but F your mother. Maybe she was abused and is bitter about it and wants you to suffer like she did. I've noticed that pattern with some elders. They want the younger generation to struggle, because they didn't have a way out. Either way it is no excuse. I'm glad you told her off. They are the type to be shocked when their child is dead and in a coffin. Crying about it, like woah how could this happen? As if everyone wasn't aware that person was being abused and everyone just decided to be silent. My mom and auntie are African but they always said if a man puts his hands on you, just know it will never stop no matter how much he says sorry. Just leave, before you are six feet under. Recently, a pastor's wife was killed from being beat to death. My auntie's friend got stabbed to death by her partner. Run while you still can miss, your life is very important.

We are conditioned to believe our extended “family” is “all” we have, and no one really cares to explain how toxic and corrupt our siblings or parents could be. When your social status changes, your “family” perception of you changes as well. The “guilt” seed was planted in you as a child. Don’t you remember all the stories you were told of men who failed because of their lack of “generosity”? But we are human, therefore we are vain! We believe our good deeds will be advertised and we will be “blessed” in return! The healing starts when you disconnect from them! Completely! Only those who loves you will remain.

Which triggered anger in me because hes been this way for the past 27 years making it impossible to talk to him about your problems. We got into a heated argument and he just disowned me... I'm kinda relieved. God will see us through , everybody going through tough times because of thier parents specifically African parents. Edit: and don't get me wrong, I'm 27 years old, so maybe I should move..... When you are not financially independent, you are not considered an adult in African society.

No one has talked down to me and abused me worst than my own Grandmother. Even as a 32 yo man today she threatened to punch me. Since a boy she has kicked me with belts, hangers, than things like side tables, and he bad and evil mentality with feminism led to the death of my mother. Feminisms, Toxic women and parenting has destroyed my family for 5 generations. A bunch of weak toxic selfish people who never take accountability do the evils they've done. They better hope hell isn't real because if it is they'll be burning for lifetimes.

That's terrible what was done to you by your grandmother !! That's not normal. The cycle ends with you and your generation. That will help Africa a lot, to end abuse as a tradition. You need to move in with friends and not live with her anymore.

Very good topic .. my parents are jamaican born like African parent the discipline was exactly the same. Looking back on me been disciplined I can laugh and tell storys but for other it would be a different story different. I do think some parents a toxic no fault of their own because they are following what their parent did. My question is how did these acts of disciplines come about? Was it slavery? If not how did our ancestors discipline?

@@KiRetteCouture slavery wasn’t just transatlantic. Africans on the continent definitely did experience slavery / and especially colonialism in which the white man eould encourage parents to abuse the child who didn’t adopt their religion ect. Hence why Africa is full of Christianity and Islam instead of traditional religion.

​@@Topg1Slavery made it worse for sure,but it did come from Africa first. Even so, in this day and age, people can forge new traditions and say ' NO' to abusive behavior. There's hope, because people are finally asking questions, and there is a movement against abuse in the Black Diaspora. It's a small start, but it's a start. There's a saying, " Raising our skills, not our hands, with our children.". Please look up " Don't Beat Black Kids, by Asaadah Kirkland. And Dr. Stacey Patton. Her book, " Spare the Kids'.

My ex boyfriends Ugandan mother didn’t want us together and told him she would take her like if he married me. She then swallowed a bottle of pills to prove it. He ended the relationship she survived and once out of the hospital introduced him to a woman and threatened to try again to take her life if he didn’t marry her so he married her. American women don’t understand these drastic cultural differences but if you can’t stand up to your mother or she’s very toxic please leave us alone.

I'll like to throw in my hat here. What he didnt mention are the parents who recognise the society was terrible and moved half way across the world to escape it. Only to do the exact same thing to their kids in the new location. Even down to the finacial abuse. I grew up with these type of parents and when I confronted them about it, it was like they were teaching me Toxic African class 101.

The western kids are loved and adored. They’re out here either kfillling themselves because they can’t deal with any hardship or they’re all complaining about mental health issues and can’t stop being dependent on mom and dad. There might some improvements of parenting that needs to happen, but don’t import the western way. It’s tragic. I live in US, it’s down right tragic what happened to the kids here who have been mostly ADORED senselessly
