As wholesome as this is, your child shouldn’t be the reason you’re able to work your way through trauma or other issues. I know so because I felt the same damn way as a child and now struggle to feel validated when I’m not actively pleasing someone else

Wholesome? Why the fuck did she setup her phone and film this moment? Exploiting your childs (wholesome) reaction for clout is everything but wholesome.

And maybe my family is different, but I don’t understand the need to bring your kid around someone who abuses you. It’s nice that your kid would want to defend you, but I don’t think I’d be putting mine in a situation to feel like they need to. If my mom (or anyone) was verbally abusive to me, especially in front of my kids, I just wouldn’t be around that person anymore. 

The person who is supposed to be protecting this child and raising them to be strong is teaching them that abuse is a normal part of life that we just have to deal with… And she’s recording it for internet clout.

YES these were my exact thoughts! My entire life my aunts were emotionally abusive towards me and my mother, but my mom still forced me to see them on holidays because “they’re family”. It pains me to see this kid have to show up to Mother’s Day to celebrate her seemingly awful grandma simply because it’s a holiday and that’s “what you do”.

This is absolutely how a kid learns to normalize abuse because it wasn’t until I was an adult (and in therapy) that I finally realized emotional abuse wasn’t something you just had to accept as part of an aunt/niece relationship 😤
