Mom’s Shocking Statement Leaves Daughter Furious
In a heated argument about her daughter’s depression, this mom made a controversial statement that left her daughter fuming. The mother admitted that her strict parenting style might have contributed to her daughter’s mental health struggles, but she also blamed her daughter’s personality, saying her sister was raised the same way and isn’t insecure. The daughter accused her mom of making her feel like she had to earn their love and approval, and called her an a**hole for suggesting she has a weak personality. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this explosive situation…
“We didn’t do a great job raising you and made you feel like you were never good enough. But like, it’s still mostly *your* fault that you weren’t and still aren’t good enough.” That’s what she heard. And yes. YTA.

“Mental and emotional abuse is 100% the reason for your daughter’s mental health.”

“YTA. Forcing her to eat alone and standing for two weeks is terrible. And probably only the tip of the iceberg. “

“YTA: You shaped her personality. Your **ABUSE** shaped her personality.”
