My "Influencer Parents" Won't Accept Me Because I Don't Match Their Image! | KARAMO

[@peacefreedom4930]

When the stepmom first spoke I took her as genuine. However when she gets upset and has the father to back her up, she got nasty. She started snapping back devaluing what the son was expressing. The son started getting flustered and had difficulty trying to get his thoughts together. Nobody corrected her, including her husband. I can see how that would make the son feel tag teamed. She needs to work on that. That’s not ok and it’s probably much worse away from the cameras.

[@Arcadia61]

Agreed (except for that 'head of household' rubbish of yesteryears). When one or both parents bring children from other relationships with them, they must make sure that those children do not feel left out, discriminated against or not respected by everyone else. Blended families can work but both adults need to consciously see that all family members feel included and respected.

Wow ,I literally cried ...thanks for the advice Karamo ..I felt the same rejection too at a point.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I can relate to the young brother. I've had 2 stepfathers. The first one I absolutely hated. My Mom let him get away with a lot of mouthing off to me. I was like 12 years old then. The day came where he was restraining my Mom on the bed and I whooped his as•!! I had to do it again several years later. I was really defensive in my younger years into my adult years because of my Mom choosing her men over me.

[@Corrne44]

I believe everything he said, when he said they're better parents to his siblings they didn't look shocked or even try to dispute what he said.

[@M.T.-qm4rt]

I believe him too, but he's far from innocent. Any kid who gives their parents the most grief can say that. Some kids are much easier to parent than others.

Parents aren't perfect. To grow up is to know this and understand all the ways your parents communicated their love in imperfect ways. To grow up is to forgive, while setting boundaries.

[@OdachiRain]

i feel bad for this son because its clear his father has been absent, hes allowed the stepmum to be manipulative because its easier. its not fair on the child who has trauma, if parents cant accept that their actions cause trauma, that their actions were wrong at the time then there cant be healing. forgiveness can only come with acknowledgement of the past, for alot of parents this is hard

[@Zombina638]

No

[@nonamenoidea9792]

❤❤❤

[@teresamarie7460]

This comment sounds like an abusive man trying to stop his woman from leaving him. Children KNOW their parents are imperfect. They just don't like why parents behave as if they know everything when their actions consistently prove otherwise. Parents need to stop ego tripping and actually learn empathy, wisdom, patience, and enthusiasm. Parenting is not a one hour per day or a few hours weekend job of just barking orders.

[@willybeama1]

This is more complicated than it seems. Karamo was excellent at identifying the rejection in the father and son but the wife/stepmom is struggling finding the right balance of her roles. I think she needs some additional support because she is ALSO feeling rejection and she is scared of being rejected by BOTH of them. Young man has some growing up to do, as most 22 yo’s do, but mom needs HELP!

[@PagesbyPaige]

The mum needs help because she KNOWS her husband is GAY - and will one-day openly reject her - it's already started in the bedroom... She knows

[@annagra26]

Karamo handled this well by listening to both sides and then removing the blame factor. His parents did a good job and clearly care about him. Both he and his dad felt rejected and dealt with it differently. The key here is that both want to move forwards and the petty stuff needs to be put behind. They need to start communicating more and stop being reactive. When angry it’s best to step aside as things we say or do may not be nice. They all made mistakes they regretted. They have apologised. Now it’s time to move on one day at a time.

[@heyheyhey40]

I saw this family perform at a church last month. it was amazing and a true blessing.

[@Milksnobb]

Sexuality is a spectrum and it wouldn’t shock me if this father’s falls somewhere near the middle. He could be bi, bicurious, dl and struggling with his own sexuality. Who knows, maybe that’s the root issue that causes friction between them. When people are insecure in their sexuality they ironically target/discriminate against those who are. So if he is struggling while his child is openly gay that could be apart of himself he doesn’t like, that he sees in his son that’s triggering negative reactions towards him. And if he’s going hard to push the “wholesome Christian” image, that’s even more of an indicator. We’ve all seen that within the church. It’s no secret. Toxic is toxic regardless of blood. Family & friends can be toxic. So if not speaking to & denying those toxic people access to you is going to allow you peace then so be it. I hope the son finds healing.

[@KidDaGreat24]

Thank you for your comments and perspective. Sharing a few mins of our lives won’t tell you everything about us, but it’s entertaining to see so many drawn conclusions.

I can see exactly how he feels. Him growing up as a young man, seemingly gay, I know he never felt safe or valued . Because in most religious black households we are treated less than, and looked down upon. I hope he finds healing.

[@samanthac.7965]

I feel the son. It seems as he cannot win. I heard it as he spoke. The step mom and dad yelling and not letting the son speak his truth. Some things you cannot win son. Respect them for what they’ve done and are in your life and keep it moving. #Onelove#

[@george4u1960]

What heterosexual people don’t understand when a gay child goes out in the public and have to endure rejection and being treated like they are less of a human being. The child needs to know that they have complete 100% support by their parents even though deep down inside the parents don’t agree with that lifestyle the gay child knows that’s how they really feel so we escape people have to have a tough skin to just love people and create our own circle around us even though it means to cut off the family as you get older. And there’s always another gay person. That’s looking at you in your family and they are denying their sexuality. His dad looks a little soft to me I’m just saying.

[@itsOtiyana93]

Him calling the lady that’s been his step mom since he was a baby “Ms Tammy” is a red flag for me. She don’t know him for real and I can see right through her and the dad. I wish he was able to better articulate his feelings 😞. She was happy he could only come up with 2 reasons in that moment because she would’ve been exposed if he found his voice. Those 2 team up and he doesn’t stand a chance.

This is me making an empathic assumption. The dad may be attracted to guys too and he resents his son for being himself. Takes his anger out on him, and the cover up wife stuck in the middle. She don’t know where the tension from but taking up for the dad because that’s how he trained her. He need to get away from that toxic environment. The dad gotta help his self. Now that aside. The step mom need to know her place and STAY THERE. I feel for the son because that was me at 22. I’m not gonna be 29 next month and I have mourned the loss of my mom/dad because they will never heal from their trauma and I can’t help them do it. I can’t wait for my parents to heal for me to heal. You don’t have to cut them off but stop fighting for their love!!!! It will happen when they are healed. Until then. Keep your distance, focus on YOUR healing. For your mental health. And that’s just facts.

Coming into this young man life at 2 years old! He should’ve been accepted and welcome by the step mother! You basically raised him!
