I Grew Up Homeless When My Family Abandoned Me | KARAMO

[@willybeama1]

So infuriating. 3 kids completely lost trying to help each other because they were failed by the adults responsible for their births into this world. As a teacher, I am just at a loss.

[@ilerilawal]

​@caitpaige she's wrong but she doesn't know better. She subconsciously expects parental care from someone who's also a kid/young adult figuring out life. There's a void only a parent could feel and all three kids are bleeding from that void.

[@fatimasg1]

Boobie is so sweet 🥹 he got me crying up a storm over here. I hope they all keep in touch and see each other often after this.

[@igotyourback9175]

These children should never be put into positions like this. Parents really need to stop failing their children because that's your bloodline and like the old saying goes, we all reap what we sow! You fail your children; you will set your future self-up for failure as well.

[@NotMeGworl]

As an older brother of 5 girls myself. You never expect a thank you. Im 30, my youngest sister is 6. I dont do what i do for a thank you. I will die for my sisters. Im bound by the Lord to love and protect them. Your "thank you" is everytime they smile and are happy to see you.

[@AyeeJayyxx]

there are so many comments on here trying to villainize the sister and it hurts my heart. i pray that everyone could soften their hearts and extend more grace, especially in a situation like this. what i see is three siblings that was failed by the ones who was supposed to protect them trying to navigate life. no villians here - if anything, they’re all victims.

[@nyana555]

it’s just a shame how no one ever blames the parents.

[@cyndinahicks8798]

[@liftedenergy3693]

Very logical and empathetic comment. Thank you!!! Many people bashing the sister have sibling issues, and they are projecting.

[@Cokeyyyy]

i need an update on this episode 😩 you can tell it’s nothing but love between them BUT they’re lost . PLEASE DO AN UPDATE ‼️

[@ShesFromVenus]

The little sister got on my nerves for real. How you gone say what your big brother didn’t do & at the same time say you don’t really remember? If you were 1-2, how would you know? 🙄 Their parents failed them, NOT their siblings. Boobie seems like a genuine sweetheart, I wish them the best. ♥️

[@liftedenergy3693]

That is how trauma works. Many people disassociate and forget parts of their childhood.

[@ShesFromVenus]

@@liftedenergy3693 I understand how trauma “works”. My point is, if you truly don’t remember why speak on what didn’t happen so vehemently? Thank you.

[@liftedenergy3693]

@ShesFromVenus I understood your point. Both of them are angry and disappointed at their parents for not being present and creating that unhealthy dynamic between them. Unfortunately, the younger sister is directing those feelings towards her older sister but should be directing them towards the parents. Younger sister probably experienced multiple traumas, and she blames her older sister for not protecting or being present, which it's never the siblings' job to do that. We all deal with life in differing ways and have a variation in maturity level and emotional intelligence. Hopefully, they can heal from the past.

[@Berlin_Devereux]

People got to stop recklessly having kids not realizing they will become adults with their own lives and feelings.

[@lumbeemamacimaglia9850]

This episode hit hard. It needs to be normalized for people to know they are not responsible for their parents actions. Or that you don't have to hold that responsibility bc they chose not to. It is such a a huge weight and we don't know any different because we just see it as this is what we have to do. To really sit down and break down your childhood, it's really eye opening as to how and why you are they way you are. I will never wish ill will or hate my father bc we are blood. But I am learning not to carry that weight anymore. Karamo , you really are a godsend, you bring people together you create an open and unbiased space. You let people speak and be heard and it's comforting to us that might not have had that chance. But to know that you are out here changing lives , it is truly inspiring to stay motivated and keep pushing and staying positive. Love you Karamo!! ❤❤

[@misjuiceefroot]

Honestly, I understand all of them and their perspectives. Everyone deals with trauma differently and until they individually heal, they will likely inflict their pain onto one another. I hope that they get the help they need and be the family they always deserved to one another.

I’m not sure “exactly” how things went, as far as the sequence of events. But I can see the little sister’s frustration if she was told by her older brother they were going to be living together and then it turned out not to be that! But the little sister too was also disrespectful in her actions when things didn’t go as she wanted them too. But hey, when your back is up against the wall & you’ve been emotionally exhausted, we’ve all done some stupid sh*t. You can definitely tell they’ve all been through a lot of trauma which breaks my heart 😢💔!! I’m happy they’ve reunited and pray they can continue to heal and grow as a family!! Life is too short!!

Mind and heart broken and cold , having sex producing humans chaotically!!..
