I had a pretty horrific childhood, so my 1st instinct is to get angry for the person receiving the abuse. Being a yt straight female, I know I can’t pretend to fully know what it feels like for a POC to go thru what they unjustly go thru, especially during grandmas era. So, thank you for bringing that perspective to the conversation. I know it’s not anyone’s job to educate me on these topics, but I will always be grateful when someone does. ✌️

You could easily tell that Zaniyah doesn't have the option to express her feelings in the house. Zaniyah literally said "Me expressing my feelings is talking back to you." THAT type of "old school" parenting needs to stop. I understand that shes a grandmother, and shes taking on a responsibility that she didn't have to take on, and I commend her for that. But we HAVE to start caring about what the kids have to say. We HAVE to start listening, and being OPEN to hearing them.

As a grandmother I have some old school ways in me. No one is perfect and I will never threaten to shoot my grandson and then turn around and say that you shouldn't carry a gun. Not about to tell my grandson should not be violent, but then turn around and threaten him with violence. Everyone is different, a lot of people identify very well with their abusers. I remember hearing people say I brought you in this world and I can take you out, but I always knew that saying is equivalent to murder. I respect people's way of raising their children, but my children as well as my grand child knows and will always know that quote about shooting somebody in the foot came from the slavemaster. If the slave thought about escaping or getting out of line. As an older woman I learned that old-school mean different things to people. I learned as a child sometimes old school mean that an adult is not going to care if you were violated in any type of way. Sometimes the overprotective one is the one that the child or children need to be protected from. I apologized to my grown children for a lot of things that I felt I could have done better as a parent. And even though they feel I was a great parent, I still feel that I could have given them more of a voice. Just because you're older doesn't mean you're always right. My children made some decisions that I might not have liked, but I don't resent them for it. My condolences to the mother who lost her child and the young lady who lost her mother.
