Honestly I feel the same way
My mother start developing a mental illness around the time I was born, after I was born my grandmother and aunt blame me for it. Mother and I were homeless and we would walk the streets, I was taken away from my mother for severe neglect to go live with my grandmother at 5years old. No matter what I did or try to love her, my mother just pushed me away and gave more attention to my half-sister. My mother never told me she loves me or say anything positive to me. I'm mix race with light skin and people tell me i looked white, while my mother and sister darker skin. My mother told me I was supposed to be black that's why I was named Whitney and that the doctor try to kill me but it was to late ( I survived an abortion. My aunt to this day pushes me to buy my mother stuff and kiss up to my mother. While my mother yells in my ear that I need to listen to mommy. I'm 32years old and sad that I'll never have a bond with her but at least I have people in my life that loves me and I try to be a better person than she was.

My parents arent abusive or toxic but they had the parenting method of hitting children to discipline them. I remembered that ever since I was a bit older like in primary 5, my parents stop hitting me and last year, was a even huge change. My parents just discovered that some kids order someone to kill their own parents online. I think thats why they change their parenting method but my brother still gets hit if he is very naughty and dont listen to my parents. He was hit for a very good reason, for being a rebellious and stubborn kid. When I turned 13 last year, my parents expect me to be more mature and make my own decisions to grow up better so they stopped treating me like a little kid but scold me if I do something wrong. The only problem in my life right now is my brother disturbing me everytime and my stubbornness for doing something. I cant help it if I refused to do something when Im not in the mood.

I know this sounds awful, and believe me, at 33, I've had time to think about it: when my mom goes, I WILL feel relief.
Relief for her and myself.
She's not sitting around miserable anymore.
And I don't have to see the face of the woman who tortured us, molested us.
I used to instantly cry at the thought of her going.
I would think, remember all the Good times and the things she bought you?
But then I remembered: those times were grooming.
She was grooming me. I was the golden child being molested and passed around behind the scenes.
She tried to sleep with my girlfriend.
Yes.
At this point, when it happens, I will pay my respect, tell them to take care of the body and live my life independently.

ICarly was my childhood and after Sam & Cat ended, it made me ask myself: What happened to Jeanette? I was shocked to discover her story in 2022, many years later. The underbelly of what is known for Nickelodeon tween sitcoms behind the scenes has started to surface since 2018. In fact, the tragedy behind any sitcom you grew up with will last and continue since the 80s. The book is a must-read as pointed out by many, but I think it's time we discover the truth of Nickelodeon and Disney kidcoms, since things aren't what it seems when reaching teenage stardom in live action programming for general audiences alike.

Emeshment, parentification, co-dependency the list goes on and on. Although my relationship was not exactly the same, I can relate as an ACOA. Especially when people try to shame you with comments like Your mother did the best she could for you (No, she really didnt) OR You only have one mother (Thank God I only have one I couldnt afford the therapy Id need for 2) Just a friendly reminder not to judge people on how they feel about their mother based on how wonderful your own mother may have been to you. Thanks Psych2Go your content either teaches me something new or validates what I already know. Keep up the great work

When I was flying to Las Vegas to go visit my grandfather, I stopped by this little bookstore in the airport before getting on my flight. And I found Jennette McCurdy's book about how proud she was her mother was gone. I knew she hated her mother but I didn't think she hated her mother that much to write about how pleased she was that she reached fate. I flipped through the pages in order to get a short answer but I only found the most out-of-context things I could ever find in a passage. Now I can deeply understand why she didn't want to be in the iCarly reboot

As a person who has a very strict dad, I feel these ways, I feel like Im not good enough and I feel like I have to ask a person if what Im doing is good enough for them or for others. But I always had my mom, she convinced me to talk to my dad and have a better relationship.
We talk and my dad apologized for his actions and started to work his way up to be a better dad.
Sorry if this was to long to read but I hope u have a better relationship with you parents and love ones

I related so much to Jeanettes feelings. The title of this book summed up how I felt when my dad died. I felt so trapped emotionally, psychologically, mentally, had a ragin eating disorder, didnt move out until I was almost 30 because I was so engrossed my dads narcissism. I do miss him, I love him dearly but when you grow up like that its automatic that when that parent dies, your first thought it Im free. Im finally free.

I truly love Jennette's memoir, it is so well-written an insightful. It makes you laugh, cry and just shake your head thinking how can a mother be this cruel? and then laugh half a paragraph down. Never did I feel like I could no longer bear to continue reading, which - with this material - could easily have happened with a different writing style.
Still, you didn't have to bring up Asuma's death like that though

iCarly was a HUGE part of my childhood. But now its just so hard for me to watch now knowing what she went through. Loving food was a big part of her characters personality and that had to have been so hard for her knowing how her mom was encouraging her eating disorder. I just want to hug her. No child ever deserves to go through this.

Crazy how narcissistic personality disorder isn't something you're born with, but something you develop mostly based on the way you were raised, combined with the fact that it's permanent. It's really kind of scary when you have to live with a narcissist. it's like a plague that continues to spread, almost.

My narcissistic mother neglected all of my medical needs when I was a toddler which resulted in me developing Scarlet fever around 5 years old.
Thankfully I recovered but my mother has always trivialized the impact that it had on my health among other issues.

How in the world can you watch Naruto and mispronounce not only HIS name but also Asuma but pronounce Shikamaru's name correctly? At least pronounce Naruto's name correctly, it's only said in the show like a bazillion times SMH.

My baby brother ran around during our fathers funeral.
He was only 18 months old at the time.
He was and IS an active kid with ADHD.
NOBODY blamed him because we KNEW he didnt understand what was happening.

this book genuinely made me cry, it was so powerful. narcissistic abuse is so very real. if you constantly feel like you have to earn the approval of another person and fear you're nothing without them, leave.

Good video, except for the part where you compare borderline personality disorder to narcissistic personality disorder. The idea of borderline people being manipulative is entirely a myth.

I love the movie Swindled but I cant see it the same way anymore after hearing about this. Jennette literally plays an actress in that movie, one with more freedom than she ever had

I liked Sam in ICarly the most- wild, bold, big eater who dosen't mind about others approval. And I see it's ever sadder how Jeannet wasn't allowed to be anything like this in real life.
