my mother’s job ruined my life to begin with. heartbreaking that she continues to go down that path after years of watching her children suffer. selfish. it’s all about money and fame, ladies and gentlemen.

I don’t agree with your mother politically, Claudia, but she’s still your mom. I promise you your life ahead will be better if you handle your issues with her privately. I’m sure she’d go to counseling with you, if you don’t already. Love has got to trump politics. It just has to

yet you are chatting Claudia publicly, in the name of spirituality and love, no less. you have no idea what is going on with her. Dismissing her pain as just “politics” is just as presumptive as a preacher telling a woman to stay in an abusive relationship.

Hey Claudia, you don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to when it comes to family. Toxic is toxic. Your self-care is what matters here. Not these sitcom answers where everyone is happy by the end of the episode.

I strongly disagree, @marwilliamson. I came from an abusive household myself, and I know how this works. A child and parent 'handling their issues privately' creates a power differential which usually prevents progress because the parent has nothing to lose from not listening.

Privately? Like how a stranger gives personal advice based on nothing except “she’s your mother?” Sometimes parents are such a problem, cutting them off is the best option. “She’s your mom, be nice.” Geeze. Mind your own business Marianne and find a nice tree to hug.

Marianne I respect you quite a bit but the last thing a survivor of abuse needs to hear is “she’s still your mom.” We can’t know for sure that’s what’s going on here, but in abusive dynamics, privacy denies children the outside help, validation and justice they need.

Coming from a toxic family it is absolutely DAMAGING to say this. Just because someone is your mom doesnt make thier toxicity ok and doesnt mean they have to put up with it.

Years of childhood trauma and abuse trumps any presumption of familial relationship. I was excited to follow you but being an abuse apologist is reprehensible
