      This is why I've started using "active" and "passive" as modifiers to pretty much any form of abuse. It both validates victims who think/get told they didn't have it "bad enough" but also alleviates some of the "how dare you accuse me of" reactions.

      my dad was in my life. emotionally not present, only physically, but he was still there.
      in other words he wasn't really there, cuz he was always in his nerd cave gaming or watching tv. idk if it did leave an impact on me, but it still counts as neglect.
      I can't fully blame him for being as emotionless as he is, cuz both my parents came from abusive households and his were the stern teacher type and had, as I heard from my parents, cruel raising methodes/advise like "put your toddler in a cold shower when they pee themself instead of using the potty"
      luckily my parents never followed their advise, but I know from my mom that my dad is extremely confrontation averse and his robotic like enotional state is also due to his childhood.
      I know that's not an excuse, but they're already both way too settled into how things are to willingly open old wounds(go to therapy) and try to change a 50y/o's mind.
      also they both still tried their best despite the odds and I'd say my sisters turned out with not that many issues. I can't say I did, cuz I won the neurodivergent lottery and we all know that NDs very often get mistreated. at times unintentional or bullied for being "weird" .. ( ಠ◡ಠ)👍

    When CPS "investigated" my parents, they let them pick what relative we were allowed to stay with while they did so. So my parents picked my nearest Grandparents, who agreed to use my service dog as a pawn in their game by suddenly not allowing him in their house anymore. Told CPS multiple times that I was being forced to choose between having the medical equipment and care that I needed and staying in an abusive home, or being completely trapped without my lifesaving medical equipment in a slightly less abusive home while my service dog was left defenseless with my parents.
    CPS did not care at all, told me they couldn't make my grandparents allow me access to my medical equipment because "if they say no dogs in the house, then no dogs in the house." and that if I really needed my service dog, I should deny the true allegations against my parents and move back into the abusive home.
    CPS literally helped my family use my disability against me to keep me trapped in an abusive home. I'm 1000% certain they could have told them they couldn't pick a relative incapable of caring for my medical needs, but nope, they just wanted to force me into silence so they could move on to helping other parents abuse their children.
    (For anyone who may be confused by the phrasing, in the US, a service dog is legally considered medical equipment. What they did is the equivalent of forcing a wheelchair bound child into an inaccessible home under the excuse of "Well your grandma doesn't want wheel tracks in her house, so you'll Just have to make do.")

      @accaliamurraymusic Před rokem +146

      Another important thing to note is that CPS doesn't acknowledge neglect to be harmful. Most leading scientists recognise neglect to be more harmful than outright abuse. A child could be in a home environment where the parents never speak to or even look at the child -- as long as the child is allowed to go to school, they are fed, and they aren't actively being assaulted, CPS won't give a shit.

    My mother found out that I got a medical exemption from work (severe anxiety and panick attacks, a result of her abuse) and told me that this meant I was declaring myself incompetent and that she could legally drag me back home if she wanted to, essentially threatening me over the phone when I refused to apologise for a fight that she started.
    Immediately went to my doctor and confirmed that she couldn’t actually do that and removed her as my emergency contact.

      I really just want to go roundkick your "mom's" teeth in.
      I've had to get exemptions from a lot of things due to my anxiety (ptsd induced too) as well as a few physical issues I've been struggling with most of my life, but just because sometimes you need to take a step back or have to avoid certain things doesn't mean you're incompetent or unable to work or function alone. It just means you've got a few things you can't do and as long as it doesn't hinder your overall ability to get what you need done it isn't an issue.
      In my experience dealing with a controlling narcissist of a mother, it's best to cut direct ties with that individual if possible. In my case, my own mother has begun to see what she's done wrong and is doing better for herself, however I don't involve her with anything directly, nor would I keep her as an emergency contact.
      Also, I don't believe severe anxiety or PTSD is grounds for needing a conservatorship unless it's specifically ordered by a professional, and it seems to me based on your comment that you're in contact with someone who's given you what you need to get a medical exemption for your job. She was probably just threatening you with that because she knows she's got nothing else to throw.
      I really hope you're doing well, and I hope you can recover from the trauma you've experienced at the hands of that woman. Good luck with your job as well

      It’s by far the best decision I ever made. I wish I would have done it in my 20s and hadn’t listened to all the people that said “but she loves you. She’s your mother. No one will ever love you more. When she’s gone you’ll miss her. Whether you like your parents or not you have an obligation to respect them.” and on and on and on.
      I blocked her on everything and the family members that let her use their social media to get to me got blocked too.
      (Except for my very elderly grandmother. I told her that I think someone hacked her account and she changed her password, lol)

      On the plus side, you're likely to be more independent, you can make your own choices and live your life the way you want to (within reason). You are free to pursue your own hobbies and interests and explore the world and your identity.
      On the negative side, you become financially responsible for yourself. You also (usually) have to be in charge of regulating yourself. Your schedule, health, and home are all (largely) in your control and yours alone.

    The child with the gun reminds me of entitled parents that bring their kids to an archery center (I practise archery and sometimes cover for the owners when they are out of the country competing). They always think that the bows and arrows are toys and get really surprised when we reprimand them for doing dumb things, for example walking around with a loaded bow and lightly holding the string. I once had a mother daughter duo come in, my friend that was working with me that day was going over the rules with them told me that the mother kept insisting it was okay to load her bow while either standing away from the firing line or someone was on the lane, which anyone that works with any type of ranged weapon can tell you, that's how the accidents happen. Both of us had a bad feeling about this, but couldn't pay as much attention to them as we wanted since the range was pretty much fully booked. But at some point when I am doing the check up and making sure everyone is following the safety rules, I look over to them and see the lady had a loaded bow with the string pulled back, aiming at her 8 year old daughter that was in the lane! Needless to say, we kicked them out after that...

    The "ok with others being lgbtq+ as long as it is not my kids", I've seen it happen to my best friend and his little sister.
    Little sis is bisexual and my best friend is a trans guy (trying to start his transition). I remember talks before he came out trying to poke on his parents about sexualities and genders, and they seemed ok on some level (seemed majorly ok with it), I was crushed, helping him get better after a disastrous coming out on his brithday even more.
    He came out to them around 3 years ago, they're still aren't supportive nor accepting. The subject is now taboo. A while after the birthday disaster, his little sis accidently came out in front of their mom. Worst mistake as mom has had a lot of trouble with lesbians (the problems were she had troubles with bad persons but since they were lesbians....).
    The sis has no trouble to be honest, but my friend cannot talk about it. I remember being in utter shock when he told me how it went the same evening.
    "The day you change (the day he'll look like a dude) you won't be welcomed in the house anymore. I'll still love you but I won't be able to look at you anymore"
    Now another fun part. That very same best friend of mine made me realise I was also transgender. We always hang out at each other places since we met as kids (we are now young adults), and we had to stop hanging out at his place since I started transitionning myself. We feared his parents would clash at me for influencing him since I was trans too. And we would laugh how technical speaking it was him that influenced me by making me realise of things connected.
    Our situations with clise family about being transgender was like day and night. While I was very lucky to be really well accepted and supported (even coming from an old dad, no really into lgbt people at first), he was rejected awfully. His mom and him didn't talk for a straight month after his coming out while he was living with her every single day.
    I am happy that my mother offered him the support of a mother and advices, ecen shelter if he really needed it. And truthfully, I am kind of teary as writing this.

I had a coworker who was 20 I believe and she got fired because she kept turning up to her shifts late… why was she always late? Because her parents kept forcing her to take them shopping just before she needed to go to work and then would dilly dally and take too long. One of the managers said “I really hate having to do this, and I wish I could do more to help cause her parents are horrible, but she’s gotten way to many write ups now. We can’t have an employee we don’t know will actually show up.” I am paraphrasing a bit as this was years ago, but like, he legit kept asking her questions to see if there was any way to help her get out of there, or just make it to work on time reliably, but ultimately her parents won, yet again (this wasn’t the first time), and she was fired and had to continue relying on them. I really hope she’s found a way out and is doing better now.

    Let me just say that I do agree with teaching children the importance of firearm safety, but not when they can barely walk.

He made sure that I knew how to maintain a gun, knew trigger discipline, and understood that a safety mechanism isn't 100% fool proof. Once I had those things learned, then he finally took me shooting. It was a rare treat to go shooting with him in the back yard (big property outside of city limits in Texas) and it was usually reserved for things like getting good grades, finishing all of my chores, and helping around my father's mechanic shop.

I made this decision after she forgot my 9-year-old brother's birthday. Trying to explain to a 9-year-old that their grandparent forgot about them is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. She also was a pretty awful parent. Everyone knows that you're not supposed to play favorites as a parent, right? That's one of the basic rules of parenting. When her oldest son went to a prestigious college, she got a license plate with "UNC" Ma on it. (School name has been changed for privacy). When her second son went to school? Nothing. It has been 28 years since her oldest graduated college, but she still has that license plate. Not only is she an insane parent, but she is also a Karen(literally). She's warned me not to go to college because it will "indoctrinate" me. The best part of this opinion? SHE WAS A TEACHER. SHE WENT TO COLLEGE. SHE SENT BOTH OF HER KIDS TO COLLEGE.

The sister was all giddy because the school had sent child protective services after her and when they had arrived she had just finished her spring cleaning. She was laughing about how her house was spotless, so it meant CPS couldn't get her on anything. Lady, they weren't there because you haven't cleaned your oven.

Among a lot of other things, I faced a lot of hate from my own family for being part of the LGBTQ+ community. When I became an adult and began working on the relationship I had with my parent that hadn’t left (ironically the one who gave me the most grief), she still didn’t accept me and was quite intolerant. So… instead of hiding it, I became a freaking _rainbow beacon._ I’m very outward about my gender identity and sexuality and whenever she says something negative, I ignore it and keep talking. When she acknowledges someone’s proper pronouns or is respectful to someone who is not cishet, I give subtle positive reinforcement of some kind. It’s a slow process, but it’s working… 🤡

    Here at 19 and my parents are exactly like this. They’re also super transphobic and homophobic (trans guy and pansexual). It’s been hard by it made me who I am and who not to be like/trust. Just the other day I got off work a little early, keep in mind my mom doesn’t work continuously she has odd jobs of cleaning ever now and then and I work Monday-Friday. So she was picking me up at 2:45 but I was stuck on the phone and can’t have my phone on the floor. So I didn’t get off till 3:00 and I walk out. She wasn’t there so I checked my messages this is exactly what she said “I came early and you are going to make me wait .Girl get out here. I said a quarter till Which mean 2:45. I am getting ready to leave this is ridiculous. Come out now. Last message.Goodbye.” She waited for 20 minutes to pick me up and we leave like 20 minutes away. So I had to walk for felt like ever so I called my paw paw to pick me up. Turns out before picking me up he talked with my mom and agreed with everything she said. So we had this conversation which was awkward and he says “you should be thankful for them!” I can get another ride that will not make me pay for gas cuz we work at the same place. Will wait for 20 minutes and not be a baby about it. One time I woke up to her saying “why are you dressed like a boy. You look like a boy. Kids these days are confused about their gender. You’re a girl and will always be a girl.” So other than being degraded on who I really am, I’m trying to get a house with my two brothers, and sister in law because they don’t care who I am and support me. Not making me feel worse than I already feel. But money is a issue and probably will loose almost all contact with my parents bc they don’t like my brothers and sis in law. Because they called them out on their bs. So I might not be able to be normal going back to their house and stuff like that. Sorry needed to vent… Thank you for listening.
