Epidemic of parental estrangement. Millennials And Gen Z are increasingly choosing to go no contact with toxic/abusive parents.

Is it not wise to distance yourself from toxic people regardless of whom they may be?

You are not obligated to accept mistreatment, no matter who the person is. I am a member of GenX and I learned this at a young age. That is how I ended up being raised by my Grandmother. I sought out a better environment for myself, which allowed me to move on with my life in a positive direction.

Was your Mom or Dad disciplining you??

You got kids out here carjacking at 13 and shyt.

Some kids needs to be scared straight.

Kids these days wanna go to jail like it’s Summer camp.

Now if they was verbally abusing you, I don’t agree with that at all.

Calling your kids names while checking them is foul.

Some parents need to be careful doing that.


You can bully your kids if u want to,

When you get old and lonely, you’re gonna be stuck like Chuck once they remember all the stuff u said to em.

Luckily I have two great parents

 

[Gloxina]

Same.

Life nowadays is too hard to be putting up with that extra bs on top of surviving.

I'm glad a lot of our people are recognizing and removing themselves from unhealthy environments.

I personally think this is trauma passed down from slavery. Too many black parents fancy themselves as disenfranchised overseers and try to get their abuse off as if it's finally their time to shine.

I ain't going for it.

BREH! YES!!!


That shyt has happened in my family and you know, ppl grown now. So there have been some parents who were genuinely surprised their kids just iced them out for months or a year. Just because you are the elder doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be working on your communication skills.

 

[Gloxina]

This is literally hilarious cuz this is EXACTLY what is happening in my family right now


I’ve had multiple boomer elders randomly interject with “well you know, things were different and how we were raised to do things, etc” with the millennials sitting trying to be respectful but staring at each other like “ay yo instead of just acknowledging and apologizing they gon say this shyt?!”

While the GenXs are literally like, not even present. They literally traveling and ignoring all these conversations

I guess they realized there is no point.

 

[Gloxina]

A lot of people were actually not cut out to be parents. They were pressured into it by family, or they didn't know how to use family planning methods, or they were bored and thought having a child would give their life meaning.

Many of them TOLERATED their children. And treated them like a burden that needs to constantly praise them for making a "sacrifice".

If you genuinely loved your children and respected them as adults, you don't have these kinds of problems. You don't even need to ask, your kids are going to be there for you.

Exactly.

I have elders for whom I will drop what I’m doing and catch a flight to make sure they are ok. Without a question.

And that’s because of who they are and how they loved me when I was young. When kids grow up they will honor those who did right by them.

Good.

 

[Dorian Breh]

Good for them

Basically anyone can be a parent.

You aren’t entitled to respect just because you did something that humans are evolved and designed to do.

Now if you are a good parent

If you the kind of parent that thinks beating up children will teach them not to be violent

I'm willing to bet that 95% of the teens that have committed serious crimes like that have been spanked.
Most of those kids (past and present) just come from bad/unstable homes in poverty

Wish my step son would go no contact with me and the wife. fukking parasite.

I wouldn't say spanked more like beat. Big difference.

Would u rather have your Momma beat your ass and live to see an another day even if it meant no privilege or those police beating your ass and then possibly killing you???

A lot of parents now have their hands tired.

Beat their behind, they wanna call the cops


Put em online and shame em, they wanna say you’re abusive.


Take that phone away from them and see how they act

No. The whuppings I got didn't prevent me from doing criminal shyt what did was that I never questioned the loved my parents had for me, they pushed me to be respectful to others, taught me accountability, and to value education.
