What to do About Your Disrespectful and Manipulative Adult Children - How to Cope

[@dashondanetters3784]

I walked away from children aprox 5 years ago. I am 43 and I just told my son and my daughter a few days ago to not worry about claiming me as their mother and will no longer speak their name or even claim that I have kids. I am completely mentally, emotionally checked out and disconnected from them. I know I tried to be a mother and I was treated like trash! So now I can care less about being a mother. I gave up and walked away. When I did that, a burden was lifted completely off of my shoulders. Best decision I ever made! I wish nothing but the best for them.

[@Midliferises]

Oh my; I’m very sorry to hear of this! I’m sure you had to hit complete rock-bottom to make this move; I’m truly sorry you were put in this position! What I will tell you is that ‘as time passes by, they will come to certain realization and, hopefully, work to fix this’. Everyone needs their mom at some point. They will see that soon enough. You are still very young, Dashonda; time also heals all wounds! Thanks for sharing and please stay connected with us. Have yourself a fabulous weekend!

Life’s hard when we’ve busted our bits to give them everything then they become adults and talk to us like we aren’t anything , I’m to this point with some but mainly one of my adult children. I have four adult children and technically only one treats my husband and I this way.

[@vikkicarr3255]

I put my only child out today! The disrespect started long ago. I’m done! God will save him or judge him. Either way I’m done.

[@Midliferises]

Hello Vickie! Thanks for reaching out! I’m sorry to hear that it had to get to this; it’s never easy having to turn your back on your child. And it doesn’t matter if you have one or five. I can tell you that the space will help the both of you. Hopefully, things will work out sooner than later so that you can begin to have a more respectful and healthy relationship. Happy holidays to you and please stay in touch.

The old adage "no good deed goes unpunished" is absolutely the truth. I just turned 74 and my son who is 50 drops bombs on me now that have no reality; I took care of life and all it's responsibilities. He lives 500 miles away and we have always pretty much seen eye to eye but over night his attitude has gone bitter. All I can think is he is got on chemicals that have distorted his outlook, memory and any sense of respect and appreciation. It makes on feel like a fool for doing everything possible to be there for him and he waits for my "mature age" to tell me about his disappointments. I guess he's on his own. I will not be bitter BUT I will not be walked on by any one including him.

[@k.popper2620]

I have decided to walk away from my two adult sons recently (21 & 25 years old). I came to this immensely painful decision after an accumulation of many things finally coming to a head. I get blamed for things, disrespected, treated poorly, considered only as an afterthought, I've been called a liar, I've had them make things up about me. I divorced their father when they were young and their father remarried and my ex and his new wife loved to alienate me from my sons. It worked. My two sons treat their father & step mother as if they are gods.. while I feel like I constantly have to beg for the crumbs of their attention. I've decided I've had enough. I sacrificed everything in my life to have those boys, I moved all over the country for their father's career, destroying my own. I sacrificed for them, they were loved, they were tended to, they were taken care of, they were nurtured. And I am treated like a piece of garbage. Their father never seemed to do anything wrong...🙄 The issue, it seems, was me. The one that did EVERYTHING for them. Well, that is their decision as grown men and I have made my decision that I will no longer have anything to do with them. The Lord has seen all that I've done and sacrificed and given up for them. I consider myself free. 🕊

Wow! Reading these comments and seeing that many these 20-somethings are just as my 24 and 28 year old. Disrespectful, ungrateful, and selfish.💔 I have 3 grand girls and the absolute worse day of my life was the day I had to cut my daughter off because of her entitlement and disrespect towards me. When she is around I feel tense and drained. My ex husband and I, in all of our imperfections strived to give them the best life. Set the foundation for them to be happy, fulfilled, successful, assets to society and it just didn't turn out how we planned. I tried for so long to tolerate my daughter for the GrandGirls sake because I love them so very much but, for a mother to have sacrificed her life for her children, disrespect of any kind is not an option, so I stand firm on no contact. I hope all of you peace and light. May you find joy in knowing who you are without the drain of ungrateful children. 🌹

I am 65 and have raised my 3 children. I finished raising my last two alone because their daddy left us for his mistress 23 years ago. I have also raised my high functioning autistic granddaughter all alone. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. I still work part-time, do life with no mate, handle everything alone and have to go beg for help when I need it. My kids are very good kids They all live away about 5 1/2 hours but that is far to me. They don't understand why I don't go visit much because to them it's not far. I work Monday through Friday 5 hours a day. Monday-Wednesday I come home and take my granddaughter to her little job for 1. I go back and get her at 4. I've been up since 5 a.m. and I'm getting to where I don't even want to come home and get her. I just don't want to deal with it 😢. I'm just burning out. I've always been the "go mama" and my kids can't accept that I'm getting weary. They don't take me seriously. I'm going to see them this week but before I can even go I have to get my neighbor to come see about my cats. I have to take my two dogs with me because there is no one to watch them. They bark and there's no one here to stop them when they get out of control. I have absolutely no one to keep them. Just to go up to see my kids is an act of Congress. My granddaughter doesn't understand things like other people even though she's high functioning. I have to pack two dogs and their food and then stop along the way to let them use the bathroom. She and I have to lift them in and out of the car. One weighs 60 pounds. I have to appease my granddaughter by stopping to get her something to eat. What I'm trying to say is I can't just pack my bags and go. These things haven't bothered me in the last 17 years. I got my granddaughter she was four. Now I'm just burning out. I'm just tired I need help. This is my hometown that I live in and I love my hometown. I do not want to move but when my children moved away so did a lot of my help. I take care of five animals daily. The biggest dog is the one my son asked me to keep for a while but he never came back and got her. Now he lives in a place where he can't have her because he went out and got two smaller dogs. I have another dog that I got about 8 years ago. I wanted him. I have three cats none of them I got myself. One is my granddaughter's and two are my daughters. I love the Lord and I am a Christian. This is part of the reason I feel so bad about the way that I feel. 😢 The dogs are 38 and 57 pounds. When we travel she and I have to lift them in and out the car. It's just all so hard now. 😢

It is not worth getting sick over. Your body is telling you this is too much! Downsize as much as you can to find your comfort zone. You are due this now (your happiness).

She said the dog was mine becuz I had it so long I found it a nice home through a rescue organization and FELT SO MUCH RELIEF my only fear was this dog would find it's way back to me it never did and you are not going to live forever maybe it's time to think what will happen when to your grand daughter when you are gone, research group homes ECT to find a semi independent housing/living for your grand daughter where she can live independent of you but where you can visit this will make the process less painful and smoother than to wait for your passing, trying to deal with the grief of losing you and dealing will a new lifestyle and home would be very traumatic all at once, you are tired it's time to seek other arrangements for the grand daughter before you die or it kills you

Well, I am feeling really drained, hurt, and fearful for my 21 year old son. Tonight, just a little while ago I told him he had to leave on the upcoming Saturday, just to give him time to work this week and have some money at his departure. He decided to forego going to work the rest of this week and went to his friends house the next state over. He called off last night too anyway which is where this whole thing began. He is TOO DISRESPECTFUL!!! That is not to say that I have been the perfect Mom because I haven't, ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH I am sooooo much better than I was. Regardless of that though, he had to go! He has only been back maybe about 2 months from when I put him out the first time in summer of 2019. He is still the same. TOO DISRESPECTFUL!

[@Midliferises]

Hello there! No one but you can know how much you can take. It is good when we can identify our faults as parents. There is no easy way, however, to accept your child’s disrespect. If you feel you were pushed to the point of not having your son in the household then that it is your right; no one can judge.

I put her out Saturday, we have tried and tried many times over the years to help her...we have so much love, time and money invested in her. I am worried about her returning to living on the street, addicted but I have to set her free again. Please pray for her, God is in control and he is the only one who can save her.

[@lilalarochelle9596]

Thank you for the wise words, much appreciated. If love alone could save our loved ones going down the wrong path, life would be such a beautiful thing. It hits home very hard this time of year because its the holiday season. I so admire people who have large families that are very close as I have never experienced that. I come from an abusive dysfunctional family that I am no longer in contact with. I've always dreamed for my little family, my husband, myself, my daughter and our son to be together laughing and loving during the holidays but my daughter has made it all unbearable from an early age. I just try to keep faith that one day it will 'click' for her and she'll understand how much we love and want her. In the meantime, you are right: I am going to work on myself ..I have really let myself go over the years and my health over all is a disaster. I'm going to do it though, I've spent the last 15 years fighting to save her and its now time to focus on ME...peace and love my new friend I'm so glad I have found someone who's situation is similar🙏🏽

[@Midliferises]

You would be surprised to learn how many women (families) are dealing with this problem. You put in a great deal of time fighting for this. That is what we do as mothers. When the time comes to let it go, you will know. And it sounds like you are there. One thing I know is ‘you can’t save someone from themselves’. You have to take a step back and let nature take its course. It’s easier said than done when it’s your child, but you have to think about yourself at this point; you have to think about your health. You still have a life to live. Focus on that now and work your way back to good health. Once that is accomplished, you can try and take another look to see if there is any change. For now, pay attention to Lila. Good Luck, my friend!

I was out of my moms house finally at 22 with both of them. And the disrespect I get from them is crippling and hurtful. My 27 year old told me yesterday that I have never done sh!t for her. And there you go. I took off from work a whole week used my PTO to help her with her new baby when I could have saved my time for me and put it in my pocket at the end of this month. Also, threw her a baby shower when her so called friend was supposed to do it. I've damn near broken my back for her and nothing I do is never good enough or right. I have to learn how to put me first for once in my life.

[@Midliferises]

Hello Anita! I am sorry hear of your experience! This is what is happening all around. Some of our adult children are not picking up what we have thought them in terms of getting a skill and standing on their own two feet. Instead, they want to continue to depend on us while they take advantage of us. It is good when we recognize it for what it is and act because as indicated in the video ‘no empathy and gratefulness will show up; it will continue to get worst’. You are doing the right thing. Keep the ‘tough love’ switched on and do what’s need to keep yourself centered and well. Thanks for reaching out and stay in touch by subscribing to the channel.

All the long term chronic stress and emotional trauma from being alienated and estranged from my children has absolutely taken a toll on my health. After my divorce my beloved children were brainwashed into having no consideration for me and to think of me last. I havent had a single full night sleep in over 25 years. The ongoing sadness, torment, and daily pain as a divorced father who was continually minimized, maligned, and even falsely accused by the other parent has indeed ruined my health both mentally and physically. My heart & soul have been hardened and my ability to feel joy has died. Its terrible to say but its true. All my efforts as a father have been in vain. Its the last thing I ever expected as a father and still breaks my heart everyday. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I believe it is the result of all the damage done enduring the injustice and cruelty put upon me as a father. There is no way to remedy the damage that they have done to my mind, body and heart. This woman is correct. It will kill you if you don't find a way to resolve the hurt. Help yourself before its too late.

[@Midliferises]

Good morning, Joe! I am so very sorry for everything that you are explaining here! The pain is something that comes from the left field, and it definitely throws us off-balance! I believe it happens because our children are the least we expect to be mean to us. When the other parent is involved in the manipulation, it induces the pain even more! All I can say to you at this point is to keep the faith and focus on keeping yourself stabilized. There is a great article on our website covering more of this predicament. Please visit and read on.

I've tried to do the best I can put in the safety number one making sure they had a chance at life. These kids are ungrateful and don't care the sacrifices I've made just so they could have a roof over their head closing their back food in their bellies I always tell him I love them and I'm proud of them they have completely turned on me and become ungrateful some more than others this can't be life I don't know what to do I'm completely lost but I know that happiness looks like me getting out of the situation in separating myself from my own kids is messed up is that sounds. I deal with health problems and I don't need this I wish I had someone to talk to. Sometimes my oldest is very understanding and sometimes she hasn't sometimes my youngest is understanding but now that her deadbeat mom decides that she wants to come back into her life she's not the same. I really want to give up everything has been all about my kids and they know that they just don't care I do feel that it's a little different for a black man if I get upset over something that they did or didn't do it gets magnified. I tried to teach my son to be a strong black man goes in one ear out the other because he's listening to a bunch of females talk about his dad especially his deadbeat mom.

I'm 40 years old I'm tired of being stressed out by my 20 year old very disrespectful ungrateful son. I feel like I can't function. I'm supposed to be graduating with my masters this semester and I can't even focus on my school work because of my son's bs. He is literally draining me. I need to get him out and focus on me once and for all.

[@Midliferises]

Hello Mango! Thanks for reaching out and congrats on your achievements! I am sorry to hear about your situation because you really need to keep your focus. I am guessing that your son lives with you. As you have realized, you are not alone. You are on the right track in going after your goal. Continue to find ways to keep the situation under control and not get pulled out of your character. I am not familiar with your full story, but our kids have a way of pulling the strings that lead us astray. Brighter days are ahead, my friend.

yes yes yes I am dealing with it and is so hard is so painful and it is starting to mess with my mental but I do know that I have to change it and not them me and the way I deal with it and that is not to deal with them until they're in a better place because I'm not going to lose myself and is so helpful to know that I'm not the only one that's dealing with something so horrific cuz this is devastating to see your own children turn on you and cut you like a knife they are just hard things to understand

[@Midliferises]

Hello there! Yes it is very painful to know part of you can turn on us like this. However, life is full of surprises! Look at our situation today. You have the right mindset, in that, you will deal with it. Pray each day about the situation and do what you can to keep yourself together. It is not easy but nothing is impossible for our creator; just keep the faith, my friend. These are still our children, so we are in a position where we still have to hope for the the best outcome.

Thank you for this video. I’m having a hard time getting my son and his wife to move out during pandemic bc he’s having hard time getting full time as a chef. He’s very disrespectful acts like he deserves to live here for free as long as he wants and expects me to just accept this and treat him like he’s the best son in the world. Well he’s not the best son he yells if he doesn’t like my behavior and I did a great job raising him but he expects me to continue to sacrifice my life for him but IM DONE! Help!!

[@Midliferises]

Good Morning, SandraMaryKay! It’s good to know your limits. This is exactly what these adult children are doing after a while. I believe they begin to take our sweetness for weakness. When you are able to identify with this problem, nip it in the butt early because it has no better to get. I commend you for slamming the brakes on the situation. It is more complicated when you have two against one but nothing is too hard for God! Keep praying about the situation and focus on the ways in which he will show you to get yourself out of it.

Hi, same thing here; I'm not sure why there was no response on this one. In terms of your son, his age group is not clear, but we sometimes have to do extra work with some as they approach adulthood.

I have gone No Contact through these years, we try again and the result is the same. I know now it’s not me; I am firmly going No Contact. Unfortunately I will not be seeing my Grandsons, they started verbally abusing me as well.

Oh, Jackie; I’m so very sorry to hear of this! That has to be the most painful as the grands are a new generation - a new start. From one grandmother to a next, I am truly sorry! I am hoping one day very soon that your son will at least come around to fix the damage that he has done and that you will have proper access to your grands to salvage what is left. It’s very funny how these kids are not aware that they are setting themselves up to be next in line for the same hurt. I always try to point out to mine that they will be sorry! Hang in there and just keep talking to the one who sees and hears all. You will come out on top; just keep paying attention to soothing yourself. Stay in touch, my new friend!

Our beautiful 23 year old daughter died of Covid 3 1/2 years ago. Her younger sister was a real psychological mess at the time, caused us all kinds of problems. There was a total lack of appreciation and abuse by her. We lost the good child and now we are left with a total disappointment. Things aren’t all bad, but there have been some extremely difficult times with dealing with her. Even though things have gotten better, it is as though she took over our house, started letting her BF sleep over every night, and drinking every daily, and smoking. Yesterday, I sat them down and shut that shhhiiittt down. I said no more. Now I have my home back.

What I can tell you here is ‘if your son or daughter is in the home (that wasn’t clear), try to get them help’. Them being under the influence intensifies the situation! While that is being done, try to separate yourself so that you can keep your focus to stay under control. Also, use your method of working out, even if it’s taking walks, so that you can induce happy feelings. This is a painful experience, but it will get better.

I believe if you take a different approach, he could start moving differently. Try to get him some help. I know when someone else comes into the picture, it can make a difference because it would not be what you are saying. Try that and see what happens. Good luck!

Of course! That is the whole thing - no one likes to be used and abused! And it doesn’t matter if it’s the child or children we gave birth to. When it’s time to separate from them, it’s time - end of story! Good for you that you have recognized your limit. Stay connected and have a fabulous day, my friend!

I just realized today what they are doing me.but no more. I'm 50 yrs old a 12 year dialysis patient. Loved by many my name is known an good out here any person that knows me family an friends i am a good mom. I was a good mom to them. I want waste another min of my life saying it or proving it. My 3 sons 36, 30 , 28 yrs old will have to grow up to be Men good or bad its on them. I want allow them back in my house or my life.I lost my mom @ age 17 . I miss her everyday. When i get sick i call Mama. I know what it feels like not to have your mom. They will see too. My fault was i wanted to give them as much of me as i can memories to cherish. But in doing so i was allowing them to kill me sooner. All i want is to live out my life in peace. The only way i can is to once again is get rid of them They choose their life. I gave them a good life a good start. They got off the path by choice. My choice is to live for me. I even left them because i thought my health was holding them back. They all followed me. Each one steal kill destroy an leave. An say i did this or that. I don't go around people who doesn't have my best interest at heart. So if im who they say i am. When they can't use me take everything i have. Bring they rats in my house run over me. Well fine stay the fuck away from me. I thought i was helping my kids when they come broke busted disgusted an messed up. Only for them to put me in the same position. They know my health issues. High Blood pressure kidney failure. An i am scared of death an not ready for it. They use it against me but when i do die. They boys is going to lose their mind. Because they know what they did to their one an only mom. No more when i see them i now know their the WOLF in sheep clothes.

Thank God my children aren't disrespectful. They are grown, with their own unique personalities and emotions. They are individuals who carry themselves gracefully and honorably, not contributing to the issues in society. Bless God🙏
