Props to both Jeannie and Mama Mai for trying to confront the behaviors of their parents. 👏🏽👏🏽Letting your parents know that some of their methods did not help raise you in the best way and being able to say that to their face can be so daunting. I'm especially happy that Mama Mai tried to confront her father about it. Although he doesn't acknowledge how he traumatized her, he should hear (just like ALL parents should) that his way was not always right.

[@HelloHunnay]

Well said!

[@blondielee5227]

However, Mama Mai did the same thing as her dad. She is just now admitting to the trauma she caused. Monaco's dad will never allow that behavior to repeat. I didn't like hearing Mama Mai criticizing a 10-month old child. Thats the way Jeannie and Jeezy chose to raise their child.

@@thelifeuchoose Mama Mai literally agreed with what Jeanie was saying. She just made a joke about coco being sassy at the end. She did agree maybe yall weren't hearing her. She said she never wants a kid to feel unheard, she said she regrets being scary to Jeanie growing up.

[@PaulinaMedia]

This was healing for me too, Jeanie. My mother and I have a similar relationship to you and your mom. It’s truly a blessing that Mama Mai agreed to therapy and doing the work with you. My mom won’t don’t do it / will NEVER consider it as she’s too prideful and ALWAYS right. Unfortunately, it’s a culture thing for us too - Most Latinos don’t go to therapy. Ugh. 😞

[@dogood6848]

I'm a multi-ethnic person and my mother always made me feel I was never pretty enough. My hair is curly, she complained every time she did my hair, she told me I would be fat growing up and I was naturally tiny. When I had my son I remembered this and cried because I could feel all the pain I forgot. Every time I get him ready after bath time I let him know he's so handsome, his beautiful smile just heals my broken heart. Me correcting the wrong done to me, through him has definitely healed my inner child.

I am a mom of 13 year old twins. When they were lil I never made them kiss or hug people if they did not want to. I told my children do NOT allow anyone to kiss you on the lips. My Aunt was do upset my daughter gave her cheek to be kissed and not her lips. I told my Aunt no one is to kiss my children on their lips. My children knew from a very young age to put up boundaries with people. Just because you are family don't make you a good person.

[@Chaseieday7555]

A lot of us grew up in strict households where you didn't have a voice as a child. We wouldn't dare ask why because we knew what we were going to get. I didn't realize just how much that affected me in life. Listening to these kinds of stories can help us get through it and grow because we know we are not alone. Thank you

[@jazzminesteward8801]

Mama Mai grew up in a very different time…… based on how she responds to certain things shows this. She is getting better with understanding and sharing her feelings. My heart goes out to her because I can’t imagine being abused in that way by someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally. I am glad you Jeannie are bringing this to the surface and changing the generational trauma of not being able to speak up for yourself. I am glad you two are working together to heal as well ❤️

[@Hispaniola.]

This episode was great. As a kid, I felt alone and was abused, I no longer talk to a few family members because having them in my life remainds me of how they hurt me as a kid. I haven't fully healed, but looking back, I have come a long way and feel much better.

[@martineonthescene]

This episode hit home really hard. 😢 Had me in tears. I grew up in a Haitian household and, just like the Vietnamese upbringing, so many of us have had too many generational curses to break. It can be super painful…

[@fakeaccount704]

Mama Mai cries about her own experiences, but still struggles to find empathy for her daughter. It’s tough to watch. Notice she rarely cries for Jeannie. When I told my mom about my childhood trauma, she couldn’t stop blaming herself and crying. She felt so much guilt. I don’t see that remorse with Mama Mai. But she’s starting to see her failings, and that’s a good first step. She’s trying and making baby steps towards progress though, and that’s always positive. Keep up the good work Mama Mai

As a mother of a young adult, I'm learning so much about how to back-off from some of my beliefs and how to listen better and to trust my son's intuition. In my experience growing up, one of the things that hurt me most is that my folks taught me to be quiet out of respect and not to talk back so I was frustrated for not being allowed to stand up for myself. Now, as an adult, it makes me scream and yell in order to be heard, when it often times isn't warranted. Never too late to grow and learn better. I simply adore Mama Mai. "Don't forget to surprise"!!! KMSL!

Thank you to Mama Mai for being so vulnerable. Recently I had the same conversation with my mother. My grandfather was similar and even after all these years she also remembers the physical abuse disguised as punishment. It was also a lesson in forgiveness because she did not prohibit us from getting to know my grandfather. Time to release and break the generational trauma. Forgiveness is the power to heal ourselves and break free from those chains for a brighter future.

[@e.t.5777]

Thank you Jeannie for having the difficult conversations about your traumas with your mom. I can also appreciate that Mama Mai is also willing. There are many of us, (and im 53 yo) who have yet to get over the hurdle of beginning to have an open, honest conversation with our parents. There's a certain generations that, like Mama Mai's father, believe whatever they say as parents is the last word, and that what they've done is not to be spoken about. It has, and still is doing irrepairable damage to everyone involved. I commend you both.

Both my parents (divorced) are the same. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to experience these breakthroughs, and because of that, I was stuck for a really long time. I heard a quote once that helped me change my perspective a bit. It went - "just because something isn't your fault, does not mean it's not your responsibility". I interpreted it as, we can't dwell and stir in pain (or worse, pass on the pain to others) simply because our loved one isn't willing to do the work with us. Although it may not be fair, and the source of pain isn't our fault, we can at least be responsible for taking steps towards healing the best we can and breaking the cycle.

[@larissalaflore7202]

Some people joke or make hitting children as something necessary for discipline. Some saying being hit til there were bruises or until they cried made them a stronger and better person. Those things get passed down in families. Sometimes hitting goes too far and in some situations parents get to take out their own frustrations and demons on their kids. I think people feel guilty saying their parents were wrong about some things.

I love mama Mai, but... it bothers me that whenever Jeanie talks about her sexual assault, she doesn't bat an eye, but when she talks about her abusive dad, she cries. Even Jeanie cries for her moms pain, but it's not reciprocated :/

[@TiffTALKS22]

Love this sooo much. If you are not growing, you're standing still. There is NEVER nothing new to learn or realize. Keep evolving guys.💙

I never comment on videos but I feel called to do so now because this spoke to my soul!! I see & hear so much of my grandma in your mom (my grandma came to America from Thailand w/ my grandpa back in the 60’s/70’s) and now that I’m on my journey to healing & breaking the cycle, having conversations like this w/ my grandma has been difficult due to the language/cultural barriers. All this is to say, PLEASE continue this series &/or continue shedding light on this sector of healing generational + cultural trauma for those of us dealing w/ something so specific yet convoluted as this. Thank you so much, JM for speaking your truth & sharing some of your/your moms story w/ us; I genuinely look forward to hearing & seeing more!

[@KayBaer]

I love this healing process you are continuously going through with your mom/family. ❤ I’ve followed you for a few years and you both have come a long way. I love your story.

Listening to Mama Mai share her traumatic childhood is so heartbreaking. The fact that she’s willing to open to share and try to love and understand Jeannie through her own experiences shows so much courage and strength. We all make mistakes as parents and do the best we can based on what we know . Some times we hurt our kids even when we try to do better than what we had. These videos have helped me so much in understanding the generational trauma in my own family and inspires me to work through them too

[@MeowTX]

That’s very brave that you brought up this in public with your mom. My parents are Vietnamese too and I don’t dare to talk back or explain myself them for anything.

I love seeing Mama mai and Jeannie speak on Breaking generational Curses 🥹 warms my heart so much because in my opinion, the Asian culture and Polynesian culture have so many similarities when it comes to our elders and honouring them no matter what, hiding our feelings, no matter how toxic your family can be you have to love them no matter what. I love you Jeannie 😩 AND mama mai of course 😌🖤 please do more videos like these! Is therapy for me in a way and also for my parents because I always play these videos on the TV for them to watch and hear too

The amount of love that outdoors from this episode is heartwarming ❤

[@siboxash5688]

Jeannie is an amazing woman, and I truly look up to her. Mama Mai's parenting was not perfect but she must have done something right, because Jeannie turned out great and so did Mama Mai even with her own childhood trauma's. Let's all do our best and not be afraid to show up with our scars.

You never realize until you start to discuss hard topics how much you uncover, which is a lead to needed healing

[@AjeneGailliard]

This is wonderful to begin to open up these type of conversations. Just to clarify, Ghosts in the Nursery is a metaphor that comes from Selma Fraiberg (1975), who was a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst and it describes a parent’s own unresolved and even unremembered experiences from their own past thats impedes their capacity to give nurturing care to their own children. The disciple of Infant Mental Health is founded on these concepts and emphasizes recognizing the “ghosts” to help parents heal. The concept of “Angels in the Nursery” was later introduced by Alicia Lieberman (2005) to offer thats despite theses ghosts, there may have been positive and benevolent experiences of feeling loved and understood that could buffer the effects of the ghosts.

[@thewerkerb2932]

I actually cried this entire episode until "Subscryyyyyy" lololol. Love you both!

[@lizmwafongo8467]

You are not the only one

[@ltv7268]

Love the honesty and authencity in this mother daughter relationship. Underneath all the hurt, pain and trauma...is LOVE. Deep unconditional love. I see two wounded souls through humility, readiness and willingness use respectful communication to understand and have compassion for each other. And in doing so, bring about true and lasting healing and transformation to their relationship.

[@shadyjoanneboots]

It's really beautiful to see you and Mama Mai have this moment. Your relationship has come a long way and I think Monaco has been a huge help in bringing you closer

[@ceciliaflores4669]

I honestly have so many thoughts and memories coming up. I don’t even know what to say. 😭 so much to learn from.

[@kittyk3603]

This was not at all what I was expecting based on the title. Sheesh got me balling 🤧 and thinking about my own tramas. So crazy how much stuff is lurking. Great video thanks for sharing

[@victoriacastaneda4093]

Love this! I got a giggle when Mama Mai wiped her tese THROUGH her glasses. I know her crying IS NOT funny. But I just LOVE Mama Mai and it helped LIGHTEN my feelings for just a SECOND. I am NOT undermining her feelings at all.. in any way, shap or form. This episode is AMAZING and never thought about that.. I have grands now and this says a LOT!

Wow, what an amazing physician. Of course this comes up with clients all the time, but not everyone is open to coming to therapy. I am so glad to hear this physician is taking the time to educate her patients at their doctor visits. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this with all of us! ❤

[@camilliachatman5657]

I just want to give momma Mai a BIG HUG 😢 ! Thank you Jeannie for speaking up for yourself and your transparency and vulnerability, this will help many! I know what it feels like when you are not believed or feel like being heard.😢 Thank you again

[@serahnuru5913]

Sometimes we get to parent our parents.. Jeannie is so gracious 💖.

[@dantesebastian1777]

Jeannie and Mama Mai have the most beautiful bond. It's a blessing they were able to reconnect and realize how similar they are by dropping the barriers and allow themselves to be vulnerable to one another and just be honest.

[@krystalgrohn6374]

Thanks for opening up about your childhood. My child had a mental breakdown and is trying to communicate about a childhood trauma that was repressed for years. And, thanks for having the doctor join the discussion.

[@holdonC]

Wow even while her child is crying it seems mama still felt that need to one up to show how her hurt is worse.

[@lynnramadan9855]

Mama mai is rly trying.. it’s not easy to break the cycle .. she had her trauma she did a lot of mistakes yes . M proud of mama for learning !!! She’s an awesome GLAMma for Monaco

This made me cry Jeannie. I remember when you first had done a KZbin video and your mom wasn’t as open into listening to you as she is now. This is beautiful
