    So glad that youtube is willing to protect the reputation of a mother who tortured her son to death and has been convicted for it.

      I cut my mom off today. She's verbally/mentally abused me since as long as I can remember. Ive been waiting and hoping that I would feel loved by her. But that day never came, I finally told her I don't love you mom and you don't love me, you're dead to me. I switched banks, blocked her and my father's numbers. I thought it would be painful, but it was the weirdest thing I just felt relief, there's sadness there because I really just always wanted a mom that was my mom without conditions surrounding our relationship. But regardless it had to be done, and I'm relieved I don't have to be yelled at anymore. I realized all of my problems stem from her, from my room with trash all over the floor, to my sleep schedule, she was stressing me so much I was on the path to no lifing myself. I'm still pretty depressed about the whole thing but I have my brother and my uncle still. It's true, she put on an act in front of everyone like she was an angel, then behind closed doors she turned into a witch. She liked to tell me that I was dramatic, and I had anger issues. But as I grew older I watched as I matured and tried any and everything to keep her from screaming at me, making fun of me, mocking me, and just overall trying to gaslight me into getting angry and she did nothing to try to change. She was screaming at me and I put my hands on my head and gritted my teeth as I lowered my head into my lap and begged her to stop. Not to mention, it wasn't even for a legitimate reason. I wanted to use her phone while she was using Google maps bc I needed to tell the rental place I was gonna be late and she said I cant until she knows where we are. Which it should've ended there, but it didn't. She was screaming for 10 minutes before I finally exploded on her. I promised myself this would be the last time for at least a few years I talk to her. Almost every day of my childhood she did this, took her anger of the world out on me and any time I tried to get her to stop she swore she did it bc she loved me. I didn't sugarcoat nothing either I made sure my words hurt as much as my heart hurt from the years of abuse. And it still hurts, I would've forgave my mom in a heartbeat if she turned a new leaf but this is impossible for her it seems. Oh well, she's out of my life now, and here I am with my trauma.

      Im not trying to be mean but the youngest most of the time get away with things more than the older ones. But it still is too shallow to use as a fact. There are so many factos playing role when a specific child is the favourite. But saying most families the oldest is the favourite is wrong. There are even families where the oldest has the hardest time because they think he she is the oldest so they should give the right example with the most responsebility.

He wouldn’t stop crying when we were getting ready to leave, he hanged on so tight to my mom. We later found out he was being abused and tortured by his father and grandmother.
    While his parents were going through a divorce, he was a reminder to my uncle this child belong to his wife and just couldn’t stand it.
    My cousin had extreme anger towards his father even many years later but I’m happy to say he has become a doctor and is far away from his father.

      YES! People who blame the older siblings haven't lived in a dysfunctional family. In our family the older kids moved out as soon as possible. The monster was on her best behavior when they visited. Little kids don't know how to ask for help. They cry when people leave because they know everything will go back to business as usual.

    I am a mother of a blue eyed blonde haired autistic boy. The way he described him is exactly like my son. He hates goodbyes, he loves people, he loves loves loves. It makes me deeply ache to think of anyone hurting him. I would put my life before his in a heartbeat. I live and breathe my kid. I fight for my kid in every respect. I just can’t understand abusing a child. I just cannot. The only thing a child needs is hugs, understanding and gentle guiding. All they need is a healthy role model who shows them reliable kindness to make up for unforgiving world.
    Autistic people feel more than the rest of us and to torture someone like that sickens me. Sickens me.
    This sentence is way too lenient.

    This tore me up.. i cant imagine how painful this is for him and his sister.
    I left home when I was 18 (i was having constant disagreements with my parents over my boyfriend) I left behind my 3 younger brothers. Completely absorbed in the conflict with my parents, i wasnt involved in my brothers lives as I had before leaving. It took 4 years and seeing how much my brothers had grown on fb
    . to realize how wrong I was. I dumped the guy (he was not a good person) and ran home.
    I thank God, i got to come back and make amends. Now i put all i have into my family relationships. I was lucky my parents werent monsters. And that my baby brothers love were unconditional
    To this gentleman and his sister Millie.. I am so so sorry for your loss. Do not blame yourselves for what happened to Timothy
    Your mother and brother Paul are 100% responsible. And will have to carry it with them until they die. I wish you peace and hope you both heal

    Was it that her psychopathy worsened over time? I hope you can summon the courage to share your pain so the world knows just how evil and sick your mother was, and perhaps, so others can know some sense of the pain you've had to endure. It can be validating and freeing. I survived severe CPTSD. My reprocessing it has changed my life. God bless you, and thank you for letting us all know that at least one person loved Tom-Tim. I'm glad it was you❤❤❤
