"There is no hatred quite intense as Christian love" is so absolutely resonating.

[@Beowolf-jy5rc]

im pretty sure there is but it's just the more accurate way to say what the hatred is.

[@spectorcsm]

As a Christian myself, the fact that I also often agree with that statement (sadly most cases nowadays, luckily not all) goes to say something It's honestly sad...

[@promisemochi]

chiristian girl here, when i grew up in the church there was a song we'd sing that went "and they'll know we are christians by our love" i try so hard to model that in my life, but it absolutely breaks my heart to see others not, and completely ignore the fact that above all, we're meant to be loving people towards others. i see people say the most hateful things to others and i'm just like?? i don't understand the dissonance they have

[@spectorcsm]

@@promisemochi Yeah my church sings that song too and I very often think like, why don't we actually act that way? Seems like anyone that falls into a category unliked by Christians as a whole are treated absolutely horribly by them, which like, at the very least it's just being a jerk and cruel to people, but isn't it also just downright counterproductive?? Like, it's just an incredibly quick way to completely turn a person away from ever having a good opinion of your beliefs, wouldn't it be better to be nice to them, and show them the kindness and patience God is supposed to help us have, rather than just having nothing but hatred for them? :/ sorry to rant but I've really had this stuff on my mind for a while 'xD

[@sujanaryal833]

While there are a lot of shitty parents just don't believe everything someone says if they don't have any proof. Lately for some reason people just want to be a victim and come up with a lot of accusations. I had believed someone that they were abused for so long just because they said it happened only to find out it was the other way around.

I sometimes see stories from parents or grandparents that are sad because their children cut them off or don't visit or whatever and yeah, that's sad... but why don't they visit? I cannot imagine cutting my parents off, because they are amazing people and so important to me. Aren't you the same to your kids?

[@TheDemonicMushroom]

My mom found out I was lesbian because her bestfriend snooped on my phone. Her reasoning: I have hearts next to my friends names so I can tell who they are by color. I was so pissed because my mom got mad at me because I didn’t tell her I’m lesbian. I had been planning to tell her when I was comfortable but I was not yet comfortable enough to tell her. She proceeded to ask if I had been planning to just run away with my girlfriend and never tell anyone. I literally had planned on telling her soon and as soon as she went off on me it made me feel less inclined to tell her anything. The reason I was cautious was because my dad and maybe some other family is homophobic and didn’t want them to find out.

[@ViktorErikFade]

@@TheDemonicMushroom I'm sorry to hear that moment was stolen from you, My mother didn't take me coming out very well and I'm far less inclined to to tell her anything now as well as telling my mom and brother when I came out I didn't want my sister's to know And so far so good, they understand despite being homophobic that if my sister's knew the entire planet would know so they bite their tongue and don't inform my older sister or the younger one so I feel like I get why you wouldn't want most of your family knowing . It'll get easier as the shock factor dies down hopefully, but your not the only one in a similar situation if that helps you

[@TheDemonicMushroom]

@@ViktorErikFade yeah. It’s not that my mom is homophobic or anything. It’s just I felt really upset that she invaded my privacy and got mad because I hadn’t felt comfortable enough to tell her yet. Not only this she also threatened me with telling my dad when I didn’t have a good explanation for why I didn’t tell her. I didn’t say I wasn’t comfortable because I was too afraid of her getting more mad at me. Her best friend (my god mother) completely broke my trust when she did that to me. On top of all this most of the people at my dads house are transphobic (he lives with his brother and mom) his brothers sons, my cousins, talk bad about nonbinary people which makes me sad since I’m a closeted nonbinary from everyone but my bestfriend and girlfriend (as well as a few other friends)

[@mandipandi303]

Same here. Honestly, part of my therapist's help was accepting that even though lots of people have it a lot worse with their parents, it doesn't mean I had it _good_ ...

[@pissapocalypse]

It makes me eternally grateful that my family isn't like this. I feel so bad for people who have to deal with unhinged family members like this and I hope you find peace and are able to get away from all that.

[@mandipandi303]

@pissapocalypse Thank you. I've done a lot of healing since going no-contact with them. That really needs to stop being stigmatized. I was a danger to myself then, and I've never been happier now.

[@mandipandi303]

@Ahrpigi Same. Part of it was I have older half siblings who had physically abusive parents (those spouses were abusive to my parents as well). I thought that because my abuse was not physical (mostly), it was fine, and I was lucky. It wasn't until I made new friends (which my family made every effort to keep me from), and I finally disclosed what was happening to my family doctor as an adult (who knew every member of my family as she was their doctor too), that I finally realized it was wrong. Even then, it took me 10 years to do anything. My doctor encouraged me to go no-contact. I've never been happier. I hope you've done a lot of healing like me and feel the same way.

Here's some new case ideas for bingo: - gaslighting - Karen behavior - family humiliation - hypocrisy

[@Greenphantom16]

-stressing out over nothing

[@cutecorgiis5230]

karen behaviour is kinda vague tho since that can mean a lot of things maybe entitlement would be better

[@riverstyx7251]

- “you’re brainwashed” Because nothing says “I respect your independence” like refusing to believe someone has ideas of their own. Surely they’re too weak minded to think for themselves and need _my_ -gaslighting- protection to steer them away from all those bad people and ideas! It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. My mother pulled it anytime she didn’t like what she was hearing and wanted to wrestle control over my life away from me, particularly when I came out as trans.

As a care worker, I can say that having 24/7 security cameras in an elderly person's house, especially if they're in decline or especially vulnerable, can be invaluable. They can make sure that emergency services get informed asap if they have a fall or show signs of really bad confusion (e.g attempting to leave the house in the middle of the night, playing with dangerous things etc.). It can also help protect against neglect.

[@ciaracooney9625]

I think that it's perfectly fine to have cameras in most of the house but as someone who's worked aged care I find this wild with my experience being that there are cameras everywhere *except* the bathroom and bedroom because of invasion of privacy and just respecting their dignity. I suppose it's a bit different if it's family and not hired carers with the cameras but sharing the videos for entertainment? That's just cruel.

[@davidsmith7752]

@@ciaracooney9625 I don't know if it's a difference of country or condition, but most of my clients are either bedridden or require assistance moving around the house, so bedroom cameras are usually one of the most important, because of how long they spend in bed. Additionally, in a lot of cases with really severe cases, even if they are capable of standing and changing themselves, they end up doing it in their living room or bedroom because they have more space and use a commode instead of their toilet. That being said, the sharing of videos or images from those cameras with people without a need-to-know justification is a horrific breach of Safeguarding and shows a flagrant disregard for the wellbeing of the individual in question.

[@universal_stupidity]

definitely can be very helpful! it seems it could make the difference from needing to be in a care home with 24/7 care to being able to live semi independently.

The childbirth crazy mom is the worst. When I was in labor I was already freaking out because I'm a trans man who had been told by at least 4 doctors that I'm practically infertile and I didn't know I was pregnant until I went into labor. Luckily, my mom was an absolute champ and even ordered that the incredibly disrespectful midwife to be barred from entering the room after the awful way she was talking to me. My husband drove 8 hours from where he was stationed and got there for the last 4 hours and just held my hand and told me everything would be okay (he didn't tell me until later that I was squeezing his hand so hard that I actually sprained 2 of his fingers). I was utterly terrified, blindsided, dysphoric, and in so much pain. If on top of that I had to deal with my own mother making a scene and making it about her I don't know if I would have even made it through. My mom was the main person holding me together.

Some people with severe control issues want to keep their family unit in a tight, isolated bubble away from all others until anyone who wants to enter earns their approval. This is particularly common amongst those with extreme views like cult worship and conspiracy theories, people who beat their children and people who molest them. Outside influence can threaten their control and in the case of the molesting and beating, risk them jail time.

[@selimnagisokrov]

We had cameras set up at my grandmother's house due to her dementia. The inside of the door had child covers to keep her from wandering but for the most part the outside scared her, stove was unplugged and my folks came over 3 times a day for hours to take care of her, but they also just wanted to check in when they couldn't physically be there. Usually she was asleep or watching TV, picking at the snacks left for her. They never kept recordings tho, it was always just live feed that we could save if needed.

[@runicspyder]

Click, thank you so much for the talk about how abusers can be just normal people. I needed that. My grandmother has been abusive one minute and loving the next for my entire life and my Mom's entire life. But she does all these nice things for people and is on the board of an advocacy group helping people with HIV/AIDS. She also helps out with Habitat for Humanity and is a pillar of the community. But she has body shamed my Mom and I for our entire lives among other things. Nobody would believe me if I spoke up.

Let your daughters use what is comfortable and effective for them. The only thing he should be asking is “is there anything else you need? Like hot water bottle, painkillers,”.

[@fancydeer]

I got the vibe that he was convinced that she was "wasting" pads (ie changing them when they needed to be changed). some men think women are only supposed to wear one pad a day or one pad per period or wear a pad until it's totally soaked through or something? I'm not sure what they think. They don't realize pads need to be changed just as frequently as tampons because they hold bacteria/don't absorb after they're full of blood where you bleed into them for hours in the same spot lolol

The dad was 100% thinking his daughter is too young to use pad. If she is not using pad, she is not having her periode.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

​@fancydeer They don't necessarily need to be changed as often as tampons depending on your flow. Tampons HAVE to be removed within 8 hours because being inserted into the body makes it waaay easier for any bacteria growing in them to enter the body, and cause toxic shock syndrome. Since pads are outside the body, it's significantly harder for the bacteria to invade from there, and the environment isn't as ideal for bacterial growth either, which is why it's safe to sleep with them on. That said, no matter how slow your flow is - or even if it's non-existent and you're wearing the pad as a precaution since it's close to time for your period to start, you should be changing it at least every day...

[@battonia982]

It really makes me sad to see parents reject their children because of their children just being who they are. Something I have realized as ive grown is that parents have this idea of who their child is in their head and when the child grows into their own person and that person not being who the parent(s) want them to be frequently leads to problems. Just like with anything else a person daydreams about it is ok to have an idea of what you want, but at the same you cannot control other people who where their lives take them and I wish more parents would realize this and accept their child if they are happy.

[@evilds3261]

Hi-- I'm 34 so when I was growing up even bisexuality was considered majorly taboo. My mom made a big scene and cried and threw a fit, but when I didn't engage it she wound up coming around and being supportive, and now denies it happened. My partner is trans and the mom was so unsupportive that she would call and harass teachers into misgendering him (even tho he passed), etc-- and she also wound up coming around and pretending it never happened. unless they're religious, social norms go a long way. just try to survive it if it's not actually dangerous (assuming you can't leave) and it may well solve itself.

Ugh that sucks. It depends on how old you are, but focus on getting a support network (and keeping track of your stuff) so that they can’t hold anything over you when you inevitably cut them off.

This is one of the great sides of what the Internet has given humanity - back in my day, a child in such a home would have no way to reality check; they would just have to take their parents' word that this was right and normal.

Yup, support forums on Reddit are one of the many great benefits of the internet. People love to shit on the internet and all social media as if it only causes harm. It's ridiculous.

Whether it be escaping dangerous abusive relationships, or the many thousands of people who admit they only got vaccinated because of subreddits like r/HermainCain. I could list other more specific examples (like people who didn't realize the way they were doing things could cause so much harm, like various crafting methods they thought were not so unsafe; pulling stuck cars with equipment they thought was strong enough to not break off their vehicle & go flinging through the windshield, killing the driver; etc.)

As someone who cut contact with their entire "biohazard" family, I'm 1) glad your mom is one of the good ones, and 2) sad to need to let you know that parents on this subreddit aren't nearly as unique and uncommon as one might wish. I've found that it's actually much harder to find genuinely good parents than ones who normalize abusive or otherwise unhealthy behavior. Generational trauma... the mistakes of our elders are so often the mistakes of their elders and will often become our mistakes as well if we don't actively work at preventing such behaviors in ourselves. That's how emotional and psychological neglect and violence (and all other forms of abuse) pass on so easily and are so normalized in society. That's why these parents featured from the subreddits are just the more colorful examples and how so many people have realized they were abused growing up via watching videos like these. (Psychology is a kinda-sorta special interest for me, especially around the topic of abusive behaviors. So I know a lot about the sad reality.)

27:26 as someone who is currently D.I.N.K, I think that it is one thing to ask your roommate/friend/family to watch the baby for a short period of time to say take a shower or go to the grocery store once in a while. It is also fine to mutually agree to hire said friend/roommate/family member FOR COMPENSATION when you want to go out. That being said, *it is not acceptable to abandon your child to go do whatever you want all the time*

The only hope I have left is, that we, who watch those videos, become better parents than those and probably raise a generation that has less struggles or fight through less trauma.

I really hope so. I thought that the internet in general would have helped people do right, but a lot of these parents are in my generation, and we have no excuse. Remain vigilant, and watch yourself as well as others.

My heart goes out to everyone who like me had insane parents.

[@spyro257]

for a someone that grew up with r/InsaneParents, these vids gives me some flashbacks, some of which i share with my older sister... not talking to my parents anymore, and it was a relief to finally cut them out of my life... it took my sister 4-5 years longer than me, before she finally had enough...

[@Alphaismyname]

R/insaneparents is literally r/arethestraightsok for parents

[@timothyisstupid]

[@leaderlamby]

​​@@leaderlambyyour edit washed out tha heart. Not my condolences

[@leaderlamby]

@@AroAce_Psychopath It's, uh... still there tho

[@Markfr0mCanada]

I had good parents and yet still find something cathartic here. My condolences to the poor people who actually have to deal with this.

I delt with a mildly crazy mom who did some of these things. You're entire "Insane Parents" series is so fun to watch because it makes me realize what wasn't ok, what was just minimal and how much worse I could have had it. It's a fantastic meter for anyone who has delt with or is dealing with parents like this. It's so important to know for sure who is the crazy one is, because they will always have you believing that it is you in every instance. However, I would love for you to bring up more how generational this is. Every insane parent often looks sane when you compare them to their parents and over time we are slowly getting better as humans. But even so, that never means we should stop pointing it out, cause if we don't point it out and be annoying, they will slide back like alcoholics at a wine show. (hugs, thanks for all the good work!)

Click’s videos always make me feel better about my insane family. My narcissistic mom with me and my brothers, three neurodivergent kids, constitutes an insane family to a point. Hopefully I’ll get out one day, but for now I just watch Click and laugh through trauma. ❤😊

Same!
