    We’re you parents Asian? Well, they were probably toxic as hell.

    … it’s scary. I find about all these relatable. I didn’t consider my parents toxic at all but now the more I analyze it the more I realize my dad is a narcissist.

  • Aurora G

    This is so me though!! I feel so attached right now!! 😯😯

    I blame myself for everything and I’m 22. My parents blamed me for not being able to get hired for a job because no job would hired me. My mom tells me that I’m too soft-hearted that’s why I can’t drive. My parents compare me to other adults and now I refuse to go out and I have all these "what ifs". When I say no to something, they become upset- which made it hard to sah no to people outside my family, my parents get upset because I didn’t say no. Sadly, I grew up with parents who wants everything done perfectly, so when I’m with others, I become anxious and I’m afraid they’ll get upset at me for making a (minor) mistake.

    I suffer from all 6 of these side effects, i would share my story but it is too much, plus i am completely numb at the moment and don’t care as much to share, my life is completely ruined at best and i see no hope of a future…

  • Darrick Ayers

    I have all of this

  • Anita S

    I’m blown away….it’s like this video was based on my life!
    It was always hard to get to grips with my many intricasies from the effects of toxic parenting and abuse but to have it clearly explained and rationalised is assuring that I’m not mad (at least not yet!)
    Thank you!

  • Red Knight Gaming

    That probably explains why I’m emotionally numb.

  • kyaraissamushroom

    i have all of those struggles,my parents wanted me to be perfect but i wasn’t now im just a failure

    My biological father has verbally abuse my sibling and I for all of our lives. When my parents got divorced I very quickly chose to not see him because I knew that he was not some one who I wanted to be an influence in my life any longer. My younger sibling decided to continue to see him because they were young and were still hopeful that he would change and they did what they thought was right and I’m happy they chose to follow their hearts. Recently thought they have both come to realize that he has not changed at all and have decided to stop seeing him as well. I personally suffer from the side effects 1, 3, 5, and a bit of both sides of 6. I have been getting help though therapy and it has help me become a happier as well be ok with who I am as well as putting myself first more often that I did before (which was almost never). I would love to send this video to my biological father to show him the pain that his behaviors can and has caused but he won’t take it that way and not take any responsibility for his action, because he is also a narcissistic person due to the cycle of verbal and emotional abuse in his side of the family.

  • Pixie Flare

    Quite a few, but i guess it’s all improved than before! 🙂

  • RocketBlueBear

    I have a lot of these, I have abusive parents and I had an abusive relationship years ago.

  • Nerd Queen

  • ATilow L

    This sorta describes me tho my family is great

  • Ina Stef

    Thank you so much … Now I understand a little bit more of myself… I mean why I always blame myself and why nobody in the house don’t respect my boundaries. Deep down I knew it from the first place … Well my story isn’t something extraordinary… Toxic parents … Toxic divorce… Etc

  • Evelyn Ferretiz

    All these videos that have to do with family or parenting are really relatable ;-;

  • Angel Michaela Tudtud

    too late

  • Ruby Vlogs

    Toxic parents are worst! 😒

  • Laura D

    My parents are separated since I was 4 or 5. My mom was in a toxic and harmful relationship after that were she and here partner were very aggressive. Also my mom was a alcoholic and harmed me physically and mentally.
    I do now suffer from PTSD, depression and self harm and I do have suicidal thoughts.
    But I’m in therapy and try my best to recover.

  • Aja Jefferson

    My mom depends on my to raise her kids and take care of bills even tho she’s capable of doing so herself she also depends on me emotionally as if im in a committed relationship i feel like i can never grow or be my age because i had to raise kids that weren’t mine idk what to do she won’t let me leave

  • Nadjra-Kay Robinson

    Couldn’t watch till the end. It huts too dam much.

  • Lauren Sonnier

    I have an adoptive sister and she is verbally abusive and has created chaos with all her disorders and gave everyone in the home a form of trama. She’s manipulative and her values are completely opposite to mine. How could this negatively affect me and my family? Any advice on how to deal with this, anyone?

  • Mais J

    Accurate and painful video. But we still need links of the studies though.

  • suisso brasileiro

    I have 3 of these problems, but I don’t think I’ve had toxic parenting. I’m kinda confused, can someone give me another hypothesis why could have those side effects.
    I have 1, 5 and 6

  • kakashiroks

    All of these aside from the ptsd…. :c

  • ultimasora27

    Couldn’t agree more on this matter. The last characteristic is especially prominent in me. When it comes to work or everyday errands; I’d prefer to bare the weight myself. Declining any help from friends or cohorts. In my relationships I become attached easily and keep thinking about ways for them to want to keep me around. Worst part of all is that I’m very aware of what I’m doing but it’s the only way I know how to be. I suggest a video on ways of dealing with these unhealthy tendencies, for sake of those going through this currently

    3 and 4 matches to me perfectly, but parents have nothing common with it. I’ve always been highly sensitive.

  • AhleeJ

    yall are always right on time

  • Jesus Solange

    Well growing up my mum always bashed me for everything I did and always was harder one me and still at 23 wants to have control of my life and everything they went over o have bit my mum blamed me for everything she did and she is still mad at my father cuz every time we get into a tiff she makes it a point to tell me how she hates me and I look so much like him it eats at me to see the hate in her eyes for me bit one day ima go away and never talk to her again

  • Alice in Overwatch

    Its funny seeing this list. I developed a anxiety disorder after my eldest sister moved out and all the toxicity of my parent fell on me alone-using me for her personal piggy bank and not treating me like a human. (not that my sister was much better—*looks at toxic sibling video* I ended up cutting ties with her)
    2. with PTSD, I dont have that, excluding the emotional numbing 100% do that to protect myself. However my parents were physical abuse towards eachother (more dad to mum but she did her fair share too)
    3. The lack of self esteem I chok up 100% my parents fault for always putting me down, but I know that it isnt my fault anymore, it was her using me as her "she can do what i never did" mindset, which seriously backfired. Now shes all about self reliance.. even though she forces me to help her financially :/ then cries no one helps her… say that to my empty bank
    4. Health problems; CHECK.
    5. Not out of the toxic environment just yet so I dont know if I have a hard time saying no when I leave. But ill keep it in mind, in future and remember if thats the reason im saying yes.
    6. Then with the 2 types of attachment issues, not only never realise before you do both but also linking that with my parents toxicity :/

  • yan liu

    Every single effect on the list. But I am trying to get better, and not letting it defines me.

  • Tiger XZ04

    all 6 effects happened to me and still happening haaaa

  • Tulazur

    Fuck that’s totally me….

  • missusmoonwinkle

    Well if this isn’t me

  • Ishareandyouwatch

    My parents was bias against me, towards my younger brother. And growing up, i find it hard to accept love. Like, i doubt when people say they love me.

  • Mikyee Diaz

    When all 6 are right then you’re like "Yeah… What to do, people will always say the same stuff ‘parents’ love’." I guess so… Hahaha uh..

  • Rubylar Furox

    I relate to 3 and 6, hmmm..

  • Rose Juliette

    My dad’s partner was highly psychologically abusive to me growing up. It has left me with chronic anxiety. Ultimately that anxiety developed into psychosis. She has never acknowledged that she did anything wrong but luckily my dad recognizes the abuse. I’ve been improving myself ever since I left home. I went through therapy and I still take an ssri for my mood. Positive psychology, CBT, mindfulness and wellness tools have all brought me to a place where I’m proud of who I am and what I am capable of. 😊😊

  • ShatteringMist
