One can feel it, if a parent doesn't want one.
It's sad
My mother left me in foster care at 6 i saw her agian at 29 she was horriable asked why she even had me she said becasue abortion wasnt legal and rhats what you should have been , im 54.and it hits the same
I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Thats being a good little boy 😂
Compare that to kids today.
No being 'sent to the office' in a British school at that time. Every teacher had their own stick/gym shoe/or other suitable tool.
The point being kids used to have disciple and respect. Seems less so today unless the parents instill it.
@@TheGameofLifeTrueStories Absolutely agree.
*lol With cuts in staff thete is no one to go with you. Do you want to pay for the discupline? Ehich means funsing for staff? It takes time to accompany children to become responsible and indeprndent adults.And its a good mix of letting kids make their own choices, face their own, short term consequences and support them in not having to face long term consequences of bad momentary decisions.
Interesting thought.
God loves you
👍
Heartbreaking
Kids are a gift 👍
100%
Wow, I thought I was just a piece of garbage because my mom didn't like me either. I ruined it for her to join the army. She told me that I was a problem child because I talked a lot and that if I didn't shape up she'd put me up for adoption at 8 yrs old. That kinda sticks with you. I'm so sorry that anyone would have to feel like that. Prayers thoughts and love going out to you.
It's real tough when the People who are supposed to love you do the exact opposite.
Well, mother...with that attitude....you should've crossed your legs & it's half of YOUR DNA.....so there's that🤨
Nice lady. ❤All the best. We make it despite this, don't we?
You can check out her full Story! She was a pleasure to interact with!
Heartbreaking
Very sad indeed!
OMG she chose to have unprotected sex so there are consequences for that. She seem to have it really bad. It must be extremely difficult growing up in this household. I grew up in a home like this but i got it worst cuz i wasnt pretty like all her kids. Life got better after i got older but the permanent traumas never left me. I am damage but i try making a better life for my child. I didnt want to be the monster like my parents to me to my child. I feel bad for her but she is a survivor.
She definitely had to go to Therapy over it.
I was second born, the first was my sister we are a year and a half apart. My Mother would rub in my face that my Father came to the hospital to see my sister with roses, but since I was a girl he didn't even show up. Then my brother was third and he was the king and finally my baby sister was born, the baby of the family. I was told I killed my brother in the womb that she was supposed to have had a boy, she always resented me, told me I was adopted or I was switched at birth real stupid stuff. I haven't spoken to my mother or siblings in years, Dad died 23 years ago and I wasn't included in the family much after that, so it hurts but you have to walk away and save your sanity I'm 57 and I can't do it anymore and it took awhile but I know I'm important and loved by the people who want me in their lives.
I'm glad to hear you were able to move on.
Been there.
I'm surprised to find out how common this is.
This is so sad and my heart goes out to this woman. I know my mom loves me to death but shes never been an affectionate mother. She can be quite critical, which is bothersome. Its lighted up as she ages but some things said in my youth still sting.
Thankfully towards the end of her mother's life they were able to somewhat reconcile. Mostly because her mother forgot most of her treatment towards her.
Narcissistic abusers 😢
People don't know just how much word hurt and stay with a child. My mother told me she was going to give me up. I always felt she hated she didn't. I never knew my father, and when she died I felt so alone in this 🌎
I hope you have been able to find people that live and appreciate you.
Me too - i was an inconvenience
I'm sorry to hear that.
So sad this is so common. Hence the ills in the world. I can relate
Way more common than I thought.
My mom didn't like me either but she loved me. I think If I had a choice, I would have wanted her to like me. I have said these exact words about my mother
Love can be a "duty" and what she wanted was someone that actually wanted her.
I was the third child and my mom always told me they only wanted 2 kids. I was my brothers after birth
Yea, maybe don't tell your child that.
Parents like this are ridiculous! They are mad at their children because of the UNINTELLIGENT decisions they made. BUT it's their body and their choice, but they didn't want THEIR CONSEQUENCES. Fools.
So sad, I'm sorry you went through that. You are not a mistake, you are a child of God😊❤❤❤
She has overcome!
I can totally relate. My mother always told me that I was a burden and wished that I was never born. She said I ruined her life. She never wanted me to be happy. She would scold me when I smiled saying, "What are you smiling about? What smile off your face!"
So sad to hear.
Perhaps your mom should take the blame of being a mischievous young lady with your dad and not blame you for her choices made. I hope she doesn’t end up growing old with no one to care for her due to her being Ean but I guess your brother will do it
Towards the end of her mother's life they were able to somewhat reconcile n
you seem like a beautiful person so you proved her wrong. and you know plenty of women with children finish college, even with advance degrees. you know children choose their parents right, and not the other way around. I think you proved a lot to her
Thankfully she went on to have a great career and found a great guy at 75.
Welcome to the children of narcissistic mothers club... heal yourself.
She's been on a lifelong journey of healing.
People blaming the kids for their actions. 😮
It's really unfortunate.
My mom told me the same when I was around 13. She never wanted me or any of us kids. She said she threatened my dad to have me at home so there would be no record of my birth and she could give me away without anyone knowing (I sometimes think give me away really meant k_ll me). To be fair, I was her third in three years and my mom was only 19 when I was born. By the way, she told me this in response to me asking if I was adopted because my original birth certificate had a different first name, and my baptism certificate had a different birth date. She started with “Adopted?! Why would I adopt you? I wanted to get rid of you!” and after explaining her plan to give me away ended with making me feel stupid because “you change the last name when you adopt someone, not the first name.” I’m 60 and I remember everything about that conversation. It was life-changing for me.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Were you ever able to reconcile with your mother? Karen was able to kind of before her mother passed away.
@@TheGameofLifeTrueStories Thank you. I eventually came to terms with it, mostly because I started to see my mother as just a person instead of my mother. She didn’t have superhuman powers. I can’t imagine having three kids by 19 and four by 22. She saw her kids as a constant reminder of her “mistakes” and believed we ruined her life. What’s really sad is she lived her entire adult life in just that way, as if her life had been ruined. She was miserable and could not find genuine happiness in anything. I guess that’s how she helped me. I recognized early on what a waste it was to live like that and I typically find happiness in the smallest things. I also realized, though much later in life, how growing up without love and affection had impacted my romantic relationships. My mother and father NEVER kissed or hugged us kids. I craved that affection all my life - still do - which made me extra vulnerable to men. Even the littlest sign of affection and they had me completely in the palm of their hands. Ironically, or maybe fatefully, I married a man who was completely non affectionate. He passed 7 years ago. Even at my age, I still crave that affection. I will need to watch the whole video on Karen as I’m guessing we have a lot in common. I’m sure there are many out there with similar experiences.
sending u a hug❤
Awww. That’s awful
Really sad to hear.
If your conception happened today, you would be aborted, so stop complaining, you had life.
Whenever I hear of something like this, I want to tell that parent "Do not blame your child for the choices you made".
It's not the kids fault
Yeah....I was a 4 month "dating" mistake and born 6 months before my parents married. I was told similar....always have KNOWN I WAS THE PROBLEM...Parents still happily married 48 years ...and brother is golden
Sorry to hear
💔
Hope u continue to deal with it and do well. Good luck my dear
Thankfully she had a great Father!
But God had a reason for you to be born for you to show love to others that may be in your place in life
She's made an impact on lots of lives.
It’s never easy growing up like that. Stay strong sister ❤
She's resilient! Made it to 80 and counting!
Ure such a beauty young lady. I pray to God that I reach 80
Exercise, nutrition, and little bit of Luck :)
I’m gonna need a rag to clean up because she was spittin facts
The wisdom from our elders!
Great thinking
He had a lot of great things to say!
Well said sir! Thank you
The real influencers should be 70 + year olds and 21 yr olds with no life experience:)
...went through their testing; did real well in taking bribes, running whores, shaking down law abiding citizens, and got a job with my snoot in the public trough for 20 years! LMAO😂😂😂😅
Ive seen cops on tv primarily blk fat females that could never do these things even if the weren't fat. How they get in. They disgraceful to even see!
They have definitely relaxed the standards over the Years.
Thank u for the advice 😂😂 now I won’t have to push and think it’s works!!
Did it work?
U were tiny
Wrestlers cut a lot of weight
Most people start wrestling early and the keep you small I was 11 wrestling at 65 pounds only started gaining weight when I quit
Yup. I was miserable for 30 years because that was what I thought success meant. I quit my job, made my garage into a pottery and tiedye studio that I sell on weekends at fairs and festivals. I've never been more successful! As a bonus, I get to hang out with my kids and not miss them growing up. I also dropped 25lbs and BP has normalized! Being a cog in the corporate world was awful for me.
That's great to Hear! Glad you were able to find a Path that worked for you.
Good for you!
Well spoken guest!
Great conversation to have!
Great one ! I listed to half of it last night and I was exited to finish the podcast today at work .
It was a fun conversation to have and we look to have more in the Future.
🙄 Marshmallow
What does that mean?

Was a lot of fun!
What kind of gun is that?
He had 4 hand guns!
