Dealing with Bad Parents

An unfortunate topic I have to address, but given the generational deterioration occurring over the generations, the fact is that many parents AND progressively MORE parents are just not good parents, leaving many innocent kids in the lurch when it comes to leadership, guidance, wisdom and preparation for the real world. But I'll take over from here. No worries. Just get your divorces, leave your kid behind, rationalize it however you want, and when they don't visit you in the nursing home, you'll realize what you did to yourself.

It took me until I was about 37 too to see how fucked in the heads my parents are. They have been divorced for 25 years, and still at war with each other. My mother became an alcoholic with BPD after getting into her third marriage. My father is a pot smoking covert narcissist. He and I were mostly "okay" up until about 3 years ago when I lost my job, and was going through some stuff. He ambushed me over the phone when I called him with an attack that I never saw coming. Screaming at me, yelling at me, talking down to me, accusing me of shit that he had no evidence of. I hung up on him as I couldn't believe the disgusting horseshit that was coming out of his mouth. I had no idea he could be so fucking evil! He put me through almost 2 years of trauma. My baby boomer parents have disgusting attitudes. I have disowned them both over a year ago. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!! I'm still healing, but I have peace, quiet and freedom to do what I want now without them trying to control and manipulate me.

[@Hym138]

When I was 9 years old, I cut off contact with my dad. He was very manipulative, indoctrinating stuff about what happened between my mom and my dad. He fucked with my mind so much that I feel like I still can't think clearly these days. What I hate the most is that I have a brother and sister. I hate the fact that they had to be a part of this too. My brother had fallen into multiple psychosis periods because of this. One day, my brother got visited by my dad when he was recovering from his psychosis. The clinic normally doesn't allow my dad to take him somewhere, but he said that he 'just wanted to get some ice cream and bring him back'. So they allowed him to take my brother with him. Suprise suprise, they didn't return. He was 16 at that time. I was 10. I know where they are but I can't visit him because it's too far, I'm 14 now, he's in another country and I'm afraid that he'll take me too. My brother could be influenced easily and I think he has schizophrenia now. He's 19 now and I worry about him. My sister has quite a problem connecting with people. She gets emotional eruptions from time to time about insignificant things. She doesn't want to hurt anyone with her words but she can't control it. My mother is broken inside and so sad about what happened. She doesn't show it, but I know she is. And now here I am, torn apart by all the pain that those around me have. I'm afraid that I'll turn just like him, because I know that I've inherited these 'skills' of his. I don't want to use them. I feel so angry and guilty. So angry that he did all this, but so guilty that I had some faith in him and that I couldn't prevent it. I know that I couldn't do anything about it as a child, but I can't rationalize feelings. I'm so afraid, afraid of everything really. I'm afraid that if I put myself out there, I'll get hurt again. That's about everything I got in almost every situation. My mother loves me but that's about it. I'm so afraid of causing pain to those around me. I feel so powerless and fearful that I can't show myself. I've put up quite a front, one that I can keep up if I really want to. But a part inside of my knows that I can't be happy if I can't be myself. I don't know what to do...

since the average peasant/slave have no authority over anybody/anything, breeding is the only way they can have authority over some weaker/smaller creature. Most NPCs are megalomaniacal psychopaths. Giving birth and rape share the same fundamentals which is the lack of consent/permission. That right there is enough of a reason not to have children.

Although there are lots of baby boomers from poorer backgrounds whose children were born better off, in more 'comfortable' homes. But I use the words better and comfortable ironically.

This is why some people go to college. They can live in the dorms and not go to the army and get away from their parents.

[@Argon314]

The worse parenting gets, the more the military appears to be the best choice. Sadly, a lot of kids are coming up in such bad shape that even the military is having trouble finding suitable raw material to develop into competent individuals. If you are able to meet the minimum standards, a four year contract in the military will do a young person far more benefit than four years in college, in my opinion. You will first get training that will, to one degree or another (depending on the branch) punch you in the face with reality and teach you more about the real world, yourself, and other people in a few short weeks than your parents and the public education machine likely did in 18 years. You'll be exposed to and work together with a greater variety of people from different backgrounds than anywhere else. You'll almost certainly get the chance to receive some real mentorship, opportunities for self-development and growth, and exposure to role models that are of a caliber that far exceeds what many likely have in their family, school, or local community. It gets you the hell away from home, for free, for at least four years if you don't screw it up. And after four years of zero expenses, working a job with the best benefits package of all time, and real life experience (and possibly valuable trade skills/certifications), you have the chance to leave and get virtually any education you choose on the government's dime, along with all the other benefits that are afforded to veterans. Obviously a lot can go wrong along the way (a discharge other than honorable being one of the biggest). But a kid emerging totally unprepared into the real world, having been utterly failed by all the mechanisms our society has created to prepare young people, is in most instances in need of some hard-and-fast "catch-up parenting", and the military is very, very, very good at doing that. After that, the opportunities it affords are incomparable to anything else. Even someone graduating from college, clueless and worthless degree in hand, is probably better off enlisting than wasting their time flailing about completely unmoored in the real world (college having failed to prepare them like everything else that came before). Four years and they'll be reoriented, humbled, and with the opportunity to hit the re-do button on their college education (not to mention the assistance they can get with any student debt they accumulated from their first degree). The military is the closest thing to a panacea there is to the failures of modern parenting and the resulting blunders of youth. It's not a cakewalk or a cure-all, but it's probably the best play for a lot of young adults waking up at 18 or walking out of college at 22 and realizing they've been screwed over by the people whose jobs it was to prepare them for the real world.

A bit of background: my parents have failed. Verbally abusive, neglectful etc. u know the deal. So basically I'm going to college next year. My parents already put in the deposit. I didn't really have a choice with them because saying no go college would make home life horrible. I guess I was too scared to move out and didn't think I could legally (I don't think I can yet. I'll have to double check. I'm 17) do anything anyway so here I am. I'll be done with high school soon thank god. It's really bad for me here. But I'm getting out. Yes I will be taking on a ton of debt but I will be out of here and it's the best I can do right now. You bet your ass I'll be working hard every second and applying for as many scholarships as damn near possible and saving to get out of debt as soon as possible. I should have $60,000 to pay left over after my parents give me some money for college. I have no financial aid and my loans are unsubsidized. That makes me think that my family should really be giving me more money than they actually are but whatever it's the best I can do right now. I'm terrified about my future. I don't know what I'm going to do anymore but I have to try at the very least. I'll cut them off one day when I have the money to. They don't deserve me. I just feel really alone right now. I just wish I did what you said when there was still time but I guess I just doubted myself. I'm not gonna let that stop me but I just feel really ducking empty right now. I will get out of this but not for a long time.

Well, I have abusive parents, both physically (my mom) and emotionally (both my parents) hurt me. My mom always yells at me for minor or no reason, hits me a lot just for not finding something, and having a lower grade by 1% is just enough to make my mom yell at me, hit me, and insult and threaten me. My dad in the other hand, is nicer, but still not enough. He always tells me to get off the computer just so he could watch his stupid movies, starts yelling at me now, and threatens me. I thought of suiciding or running away from home, but my family isn't completely horrible. My younger brother, is much nicer. He never does anything bad to me, is fun, patient, funny, and cool. Usually he is treated well, unless he is with my mom or grandma, which is also a jerk, lazy, and just so recently insulted me. I also have troubles with school, which is a part of my troubles, with bullies and mean teachers. As I said before, just because I get lower grades by 1%, I get in the most trouble anyone has ever been in. So what should I do? Move away, or stay?

A lot of it boils down to the lack of awareness on the part of Boomer parents, that things simply do not work the way they did 40 years earlier. This may be partly my warped Millennial mind romanticizing the era, but people had larger extended families then and a largely functional public school system. If your own dad for whatever reason wasn't available to be a mentor, you had other relatives. And you had schools that hadn't yet gone too far in denigrating the skilled trades.

I'm glad i havent been in too bad of a financial situation. but what this guy says does correlate with how my parents have raised me. and i think for the most part, he is right. i need to move out. do i need school? idk should i move out of this state? not sure... but i guess ill find out.

Honestly, Aaron? Many and perhaps most of us Gen Xers were reared by "Silent Generation" parents (that generation in between that was too young for WW2 but too old for the Vietnam draft). And that generation, well.....

My Parents did it tough and are now reasonably successful and down to Earth. I go to them for advice because they have done it all before.

[@johnnybee2517]

I never understood why the Millennium generation had so much to say about the baby boomers when they themselves are doing nothing to improve the world for the next generation. They just sit and whine but you SIR have explained it perfectly. Well said! Great video! I really agree with you. I raised my children alone and sometimes there was not a lot to go around but there was guidance.. My children today are loving, respectful and grateful. Our children have way too much these days. Oh I never thought about them judging me today. Note to my children, lol be kind.

[@artnmusic909]

It's not just parents, there are no BB mentors in business either or society for that matter. I am a Gen Xer in Australia and have worked in and with large corporations for 15 years. I have not come across any BB's that inspire me, it's a real shame. Most BB's seem to be bumbling along, wasting time until retirement, whining about things that don't matter. Its so boring. I don't bother having in depth discussions with BB's 'cos they don't make sense to me. My generation are caring and want change for the better.

I know some bad parents. They should burn in hell. I've talked with some of these parents and was told that they are "my kids" so butt out... well, those kids are going to wind up a weight on the judicial system later on.

my parents went and sold the cars that my grandparents gave me which comes to the amount of $9,000.00 so yeah

My mother in law keeps a house where her son died with his three cats still living there. They always said it was his house even though he was an addict. When he died I thought her only daughter, and only living child would get the house. She didn’t. I’m feeling like it was never her brothers house either. It’s all BS.

It has occurred to me that every one of your vids is a narration of Mike Judges film (2006) "Idiocracy" as it wasn't in your top ## films review, I assume you haven't seen it..... it would have been no.1.

My dad kick me out at 15 old my dad kinda saved my life iv been living free and having a decent work as security guard make good money and women notice me and come to me man must go own way alone i been alone for 15 year now nothing ever better happen to me

[@KarmicSlayer]

I was born 1981.. so I guess this would make me a millennial.. idk.. Anyways my parents decided to become Jehovah's Witnesses when I was 12 years old.. nothing is more oppressive then being raised in a religion that teaches don't go to college because the work is coming to an end soon.. instead spend 40+ hours a month knocking on doors at your expense.. there is no career in that religion. Even if you get to the top there is zero pay.. it's all volunteer.. so you have to hold a full time job and meet all the religions demands meets 4 times a week.. field service, going to conventions out of town.. hotel cost, dinning out cost. Very few JWs have careers.. the vast majority are living in poverty.. and no the religion doesn't provide help financially. I didn't go to college cause it was disagreed.. however my brother in law taught me how to texture (concrete surface coating) in ground pools so I stuck with that from 2003-2008 (housing market crash) I made good money running my own business but I was burned bad when the work dried up. I went back to minimum wage jobs for awhile.. and various odd jobs but I was miserable.. now I'm pursuing my talents in art. I don't blame my parents but man did it suck growing up in a cult set up for failure. So I completely relate to this video.. I'm in my mid 30's now and I'm even panicking about retirement. But you can't go back and fix the past you can only push hard to fix the present.

[@herryfrd2740]

+Karrie Murray I had a similar story, parents were hardcore southern baptists and that really screwed my perspectives on the world when i was younger. Luckily, I left the month I graduated high school and left the state. It was a rough transition but it all worked out. It's not too late for you. (but you're not a milennial)

[@horacevu]

I believe you are a late Gen X, millennials start at 1986 I think.

[@cuddlesxyz]

in my case i feel like the parent and that im baby sitting and teaching my parents,this is how bad it is. my mom is so carfree and carless about everything it honestly stresses me out . ontop of this she got pissed off at me because i chose to sacrifice thanksgiving to do well in school and do my notes..

[@ab5441]

if your mother is so care free then why does she care about you missing thanks giving. note you don't have to answer me just please consider what is true because your natural instinct is to defend your parents

[@cuddlesxyz]

yes obviously not all the time but most of the time,(mostly small irritating things like not looking both ways when crossing the road thinking everyone will stop for her,taking her time getting ready because she thinks yoga class and other parents will wait for her when they accually dont .and thinking she never does anything wrong or is never the source of any problem) but it is stressful having a parent that doesnt support what ur doing in school and starts whining that your missing holidays. i think any other parent would have been happy that their child is taking school seriously -_- i felt like my soul was being torn in half. i get that she cared about thanksgiving but with sucess comes alot of sacrifices too and to me thanksgiving wasnt really much of a sacrice since i dont live on res.but am now thinking about it

[@ab5441]

cuddlesxyz well that means she dousnt care and assumes people will just consider her. I'm assuming but generally holidays are like Hallmark cards nice words with no content that shallow people love. So thats the proof that you mother has relationships were it should be your day to day life.

[@cuddlesxyz]

ab5441 i need to sacrifice some things inorder to move forward and i chose to study, but yes me and my mom do have a relationship, most the time its not the best one. i do see where your coming from and get that she is a human and i should be gratefull and what not, however because i am human i can only tolerate so much -_-

[@makrofocus]

7:45 ...and when you are done with that you can fully realize how you were properly fucked over and how you are 30, 35 years old now and how much you missed out on many great things in life because you had to conquer your inner deamons first... Great victory for me! :/

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

I wouldn't call my parents abusive but they do a lot of shit that pisses me off. Things they do: .Make you a scene while or after having breakfast/lunch. .Telling you you've never helped them (which is a lie) after either saying "no" to them once or being busy doing other things, which gets even worse whrn you tell them your reason for they either forget it or ignore it for their own convenience (they have to always be right). .Their hypocrisy. They do not only criticize me but to one and other and the world around them for things they also do and they believe they are justified (even I know when I'm doing something wrong myself and cannot justify by any means). .Blaming me of shit they did wrong themselves (like losing money or towels, like for fuck's sake..).

[@bazzroid]

Excellent video. This subject is also covered very wittily by radio guy Adam Carolla who grew up with a single mother who was a welfare bum and a dad who didn't care. He writes about it at length - and how he overcame it - in his memoir "Not Taco Belle Material" which is recommended to all children of losers. He also has clips from the book on KZbin.

[@ricoh4697]

You have interesting opinions and valid points, but in my opinion being a pawn in the army could have a more damaging effect than being a pawn to bad parents. The key to finding happiness and success is education. Educated people in society raise healthier educated children and elect smarter officials to govern them. If you are lucky enough to be able to go to school don't waste your opportunity.

Here is an example of bad parenting.....Homeschooling. A lot of these homeschooling parents are doing their kids more harm than good by sheltering them from the outside world. The parents brag about how much smarter and more advance their kids are, yet the rest of the world sees them as wimpy, spoiled and naive. Their kids don't understand why some people are making fun them, why some people might be angry, why some dress and act differently than they do. People can see their naive reactions to things and this makes them a target of criticisms. Since they never had to put up with it in school they can't handle it and don't know how to address it. They can't relate to people in conversations because they had different experiences. They lack basic social skills.Too often they have difficulties adjusting in college and at jobs. They got to lay around in their PJ's and barefeet all day working at their own pace and suddenly they have a job where they have to wear shoes and socks and stand on their feet for 8 hours dealing with customers from all walks of life. They don't understand why they have to follow a dress code and why they can't take a break as they please. While they may hopefully adjust, too often they end up living with their parent not wanting to get out of that comfort zone.

[@sjames304]

***** I've seen examples of parents homeschooling their kids just because they are too fucking lazy to drive them to school. They are called "hillbillies".

[@Jibe111111111]

billybassman21 A kid who hasn't been tortured will surely be more naive than one who has. Yet school is torture for a lot of kids. Bullying is just as painful as torture at a time of your life where feeling of belonging to a group is vital. The reason you give why homeschooling isn't good are just not good. I would have loved my parents to protect me from the concentration camps called schools.

[@FeelingShred]

billybassman21 "...more harm than good by sheltering them from the outside world." ??? Let's take a look at people before the current school system was implemented. They didn't had panic syndrome, they were not anti-social, they had more entrepeneurship. I mean, most badass innovations happened in the 19th century where there were not "schools" around? Anyone?

[@robbwells3784]

+billybassman21 Nah, look into unschooling. The parent can obviously find a good community of kids through sports and other means, just be creative.
