Alongside the pokemon challenges i run, we also spend a lot of time on stream having real conversations about our lives and things that bother us
Estranged parents is where that line lands for me
Diane is just repeating herself now
And I think I am too
I wish
She had
New information
So that i also had new information
This is going to be a short critic of Diane as a narcissistic mother and overall person who has given herself the greenlight to provide advice she hasn't followed
Maybe the advice comes from a good place
But it is soured when filtered through her mouth
I hate the way she uses words like triggered, and abuse, and guilt
If i was either of her daughters i would've done the same thing
This video is seemingly the end of her series on learning to let go
i've said it before
i'll say it again
the advice she gives is not always awful
but the person going that advice is
you can find the same advice
from people all over the internet
who are not an issue
pls help me ratio the woman for the fifth? time

I’d like to say you’re right butttttt…Diane would be mad at me… Jk you’re so right. BITE ME DIANE!

[@Maximmmino]

honestly tragic

[@Crisjola]

It’s funny, because I’ve always known I wasn’t the abusive one in my friendships/relationships because I can swallow my pride and calm the heck down and apologize. Or at least not fight if you’re handling a narc (I don’t feed the narc’s ego they get so angry at just passive “sure” “alright” “if you want to think that” when they’re baiting). But when I’ve been in arguments with people who _grew up_ with the 1950s version of Diane, so non-narcs pick up narcissistic tendencies just from trying to survive, I don’t turn around and walk out because I do care and I care more about the person who I know cares about me, than I care about my ego. The hard one is when it’s not about my ego, but accidentally hit a trigger point that their response basically is my own button to push, and my physical disabilities and pain make it so my tolerance most days is below the floor. And no one, narc or not, likes it when I point out that as someone who needs mobility help, I am trapped with whomever I am living with which puts me at an extremely high chance for all sorts of ab^s^, which in my case has always been verbal until it gets to me being “lazy” (ah yes, lazy, because my bones are malformed) and then the non-narcissistic family bemoans how they wish they’d beaten me because then I’d do it. Which is wild. And also makes me think “nah man, I’d be terrified as a child and would have done anything, medical issues or not, to find a safer place to live where my physical disabilities couldn’t be used as reason to not run away or drive away.” And that does sort of reset anyone who is only doing narc behaviors, but isn’t one themselves. Especially in context of “if I had a bf who said that to me would you recommend I keep dating him?” (Answer is “no that’s toxic!” and then we can have a reasonable conversation after it’s reframed.)

[@RobinPoe]

Shark smile. My mommy dearest had the same. I also went no contact.

[@realhet]

Every day she practicing that smile. She thinks it's a perfect mask, but it generates discomfort (cringe) in the first second. My mother have the same smile. As a child I always seen it collapsing when the person who was the receiver of the smile moved out from my mother's line of sight. It requires a lot of energy from the narc to keep up this smile. After he/she turns the smile off, all that remains is an exhausted dead expression. That's when the void from the inside 'shines' as it is. "Shark smile" - I love the naming. So accurate! I know from a neighbor that - as my day of birth is coming - my mother tries to hoover. She can't realize that I have a real birthday counted from the day I managed to gain the *CONTROL* over myself.

If only she had "given permission" to her daughters to silly, authentic, to play, to explore, to be themselves...to feel loved. How generous of her to make money teaching other narcissists to love themselves more because it's too fricken hard for her to just love her daughters and support them. And no, Diane. If you're reading this, telling them you wish they'd be their "true selves" because you don't like this "fake exotic weird persona" is not supportive. "Your autism and ADHD and depression and anxiety diagnoses are fake!" is not supportive. "Don't talk like that. Don't dress like that. Don't do things that don't make money. Hey, they might be nice even though they're bald. She's an exotic cosplayer." NOT SUPPORTIVE. You never wanted them to be themselves. But now, you're giving yourself permission to be your authentic self. You never didn't have that permission from yourself, Diane. You've always been yourself. Give yourself permission to let others be themselves and to dare to open your mind to them and appreciate them as they are. You're worshipping the rut you're in, and it's painful to watch.

The writing out of the will thing is so sad. Just imagine doing that because one child distanced herself while another child didn’t, and now imagine the first child was sexually abused by dad and the second wasn’t. Obviously the first child did not deserve punishment for what they already suffered. Most cases of “disowning” offspring are not rooted in something so awful, but can be rooted in having treated a child very poorly in some way.

I've had a few people make the "I hope your parents write you out of their will" comment to me, and it falls completely flat. One reason is the reason you give. The other is that my parents are both irresponsible children without a dime to their names. Indeed, one of the reasons I finally cut contact with my mother was her unending financial abuse of ME.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="320">5:20</a> I don’t have to imagine. My mother actually did write that letter. Only she actually sent it to me. It was my Christmas card one year. It came in a bright red envelope and I can’t remember what the actual card was but inside was a multiple page, typed (because I guess I wasn’t even worth the effort of hand writing) letter that mainly just talked about how she missed when I was an infant and fully relied on her and she could do anything to me without complaint. Thats the same year she showed up to my father’s house unannounced and spent like 20+ minutes banging on the front glass door. I spent that time curled in my bedroom having a panic attack that she’d be able to see me because I wasn’t allowed to close my door and you could see into my room from the front door

The write them out of the will comments just don't understand how many kids who had to go no contact don't care about getting money/assets from a will.

[@goverlord]

I went NC in 1998. People told me that I would "be sorry when she was gone," that "you only get one mom," etc. etc. ad nauseum. Fact is, when she passed in 2017, all I felt was a little sad, and a HUGE relief. I had been subconsciously expecting one of her degrading, love bombing ambushes at any time. Afraid that she would track me down at my public service job and grab me and start yelling about how much she'd missed me and how awful I'd been to leave her. When I heard through relatives that she'd passed, they took the time to tell me about how she'd "seen" me in her hospital room (I was 6 states away at the time). I hadn't spoken to her in 19 years at the time. They never change. Just move on

Threatening with writing out children from the will, because she wants them to have a relationship with her based of dependence on her and not based on love/mutual interest in actually being with one another. While I am not estranged, one of the best things I did was refusing gifts, making the person in question actually learning to behave somewhat, when money could'nt solve the issue. It's still complicated, but better now between us.

“We did our best” is such an obvious cope/rejection of the idea that you should care (or even know about) what your kids actually want and need… they think there’s just a checklist of how to do parenting, and it’s never specific to who their child is as a person.

[@sourgreendolly7685]

See also: the use of past tense. She could continue doing her best (not that I believe she actually did) by actually working on herself but instead it's "welp. did all I could!" She chose to throw up her hands and play victim as if she couldn't do real reflection and grow as a person.

This entire victim routine and blocking me on FB came 2 weeks AFTER her granddaughter/my niece had blocked her on Facebook. She whined about how painful it was and said that her granddaughter wouldn’t be allowed to come to Thanksgiving if she didn’t add my Stepmom back and apologize to her!!

Likely she is spending time at spiritual places and yoga gatherings where everyone smiles at each other and is just nice on the surface. She is also obviously reading while she is speaking and again its a blueprint for trying to become a life coach - - poaching all this self help stuff from those she sees have been SUCCESSFUL - - the Other Charlatan Advise Givers like Toni Robbins. Had to pause many times during her pep talk - - its triggering me in its insincere - monotone - non emotion level contents - - It Hits Me Very PREACHY - - That is because I am a survivor of two very damaging familial and intimate partner narcissistic abuse relationships - - and I am emphatic - - So I Can See And Feel the Lack Of Truth In Her From Many Moons Away and Her Tone Is the SAME IN EVERY VIDEO - - It's FLAT.

My parents wrote me out of their will. They left me $1 and my sisters made sure their wishes were fulfilled. They made that decision 15 years earlier and they all never let on. 😢

[@chi_cedar14]

I'm so sorry, that's awful.

[@starchild2727]

That's a dollar more than my dad left me..a will crafted by my very sick oldest sister as my middle sister feigned no knowledge. He was hospitalized for almost a week & neither one told me..until I got a late evening TEXT that he had passed. I called immediately but dear sis wouldn't answer her phone. They acted like everything was fine at the funeral then blew me off when I called. Then I received the lawyer letter/will copy a month later- on Christmas Eve. I didn't expect much from my father, but such betrayal and indecency from my sisters was beyond awful. That was 2015. Some families are truly monstrous. I try to just be thankful I'm away from their darkness.

[@Redactedapostate]

Thank you for making this video. Keep up the good work!

[@dianecheney4141]

The irony is that my therapist told me to do the burning the letter thing for my narcissistic mother

[@Mychannel67-wh4tc]

She slagged off therapy and blamed it for estranged children. Now she’s a therapist herself 😂😂

[@Turglayfopa]

Those self forgiveness, emotiobal release, mindfulness things, etc. They only work if you mean it. Self reflection takes a long time with your own thoughts. If you tell people about it constantly then its just a show and the deep wounds are still bleeding.

"Whose feet are those?!?!"

[@catasrophieGrrl]

My Mum held a faux funeral for me when I was 8 years old. Eight. Years. Old! She burned all my baby photos, and now I have none to pass on to my children. She did this funeral because I 'made her look like a bad parent.' Lol. That's one of the reasons at 41 I don't talk to her, haven't in more than a decade and she doesn't know her grandchildren.

[@sarahholland2600]

What i got from her video is that she struggled with Motherhood daily & actively hated every minute of it. My Mother was the same, but the face she presented to others was a quiet, dutiful Stepford Wife.

[@raynasmr]

She reminds me of the Saturday Night Live church lady.

[@Sophie-ur2qb]

It's almost like being told how to feel by a robot.. it's uncanny to me. Behind the scenes we don't know what her "letting go" really looks like. What she's like under that mask. Your doggy is tired of hearing about diane 😂 I can't believe people are actually paying monthly for her advice?! What does she even provide for this fee? I'm curious if it's any different from the stuff she's put in her videos.

[@DoreenWeed]

I'm not so sure that we won't see her again.

[@gretchenisasquirrel]

Does she ever talk about her daughter's diagnosis? I'm sorry I'm only 15 mins into this video. But finding out you gave autism and adhd, as an adult, has so much to do with her decision to go no contact. Is this ever addressed?

[@jenniferkirrane9718]

I did not expect a D12 reference. Nice😀

[@lesliekupchanko5001]

Maximimo I like your way of thinking and expressing your opinion. First time viewer. I Subscribed and Liked you.

[@chi_cedar14]

I just had to keep turning her down over and over during the affirmations part of her video. She seemed to know and got louder. It was creepy.

[@dianecheney4141]

Is she trying to match the energy of break dance dad?

[@sarahmill6963]

The affirmations of an angry woman 😮 they really show what an effort she goes to to present to the world😢 she is so similar to my mother, this video exposed more of her than any of the others. Im sort of shocked

[@dianecheney4141]

Is she now saying that her estrangement with her daughter now started in her daughters high school years because she had been saying it started after college

[@earthwarren6143]

I think this comes down to her also wanting to compete with her daughter on social media. After all, the daughter has a somewhat popular ticktok/youtube. She wanted to outdo her daughter here as well. Another way to show she is "right."

[@sarahmill6963]

👋 hello 👋 i just found you. Dianne is very similar to my folks. Your breakdown was perfect ❤ new subscriber

[@SPMunny]

We need to bring back journaling. Encourage people to write this all out instead of making KZbin channels dedicated to their goofiness unless it’s fun goofiness

[@lesliekupchanko5001]

It's sad that because of social media she is allowed a platform.

[@CuddleSnugglesworth]

Am I missing something? I subbed because I enjoyed the video but when I got to the end, I thought...where did it say it was her final video?

[@Maximmmino]

it's the final part of her letting go series i think she mentions it in the video before and then gives a "final homework assignment" at the end of this. she somewhere also mentions that now you have all the tools you need so from here on out you'll just cycle through the six steps she's given you I went to look for a timestamp but i just lost like 40 minutes to watching random videos on other people talking about her on 2x speed and completely forgot what i was doing

[@NotJessH]

Omg my older sister IS a DIANE! She doesn’t have any contact with 2 out of 3 children and has never met her 3 grandchildren because of HER behavior. I haven’t seen or spoken to her in almost a decade. I’m totally sending this to my nephew. Dude it’s your mom with a worse haircut.

[@ssaberwolf]

Pretty sure her daughter expects this, anyway. As somebody who cut off my parents, I know firsthand that financial leverage is the tool narcissistic parents most like to use in order to maintain power and control. If her daughter walked away, she did it knowing that her mother would turn around and cut her out of the will... and she decided to do it anyway. In fact, if her daughter feels anything remotely like I do, she doesn't want anything that came from her toxic parents... no matter how helpful that money would be. Parents like this view everything as transactional. These parents have been cut off because they're constitutionally unable/pathologically unwilling to accept responsibility for all the harm they've done. By "letting go", they're just declaring to the world/their estranged children that they would literally rather go to their graves without their children in their lives than be accountable for their actions. Also, parents like this are always into meditation and new age bullshit. There's actually a very close relationship between new age magical thinking and right-wing conspiricism, even though people tend to think about that stuff as healthy and more "progressive". I'd urge anybody who wants to know more about this to check out the Conspirituality poscast. It really helped me to understand a lot of the gaslighting my parents used. Oh, and Tony Robbins is the grandfather of toxic positivity and somebody who promulgated incredibly narcissistic practices. Nobody is under any obligation to practice gratitude for the abuse they've suffered, and sometimes when you've done tremendous harm to vulnerable people who are entirely under your control, the right thing for you to do is sit with the pain you've caused -- instead of practicing clearing your mind and conscience of it. You don't get to let it go, unless and until you've taken responsibility and meaningfully apologized for it. Tony Robbins and his ilk inspired people like Donald Trump. It's really important to contextualize this stuff.

[@ebearscanada1302]

You STILL don't get it Diane. With all your word salad, you managed to dance around the part where YOU take responsibility for your actions. Ownership is the first step and you're not even there yet.

[@dianecheney4141]

Wait is she using tools created and copy written by other people?

[@TheGymnast71]

what is the daughters tik Tok so we can get another side? This is so truly one sided. Not sure who this guy is.

[@marcmessett6844]

Lady, what's with all this pseudo-spiritual stuff? Just go to church!!
