Curious to hear your thoughts—how do you feel about the way Diane shared her story? Are channels like this helping or hurting the bigger conversation on estrangement? Let’s talk in the comments!

You don’t get to call yourself a good mom. Your children will let you know if you were a good parent.

You can hear the smile and glee in her voice when she talks about stuff like stalking her daughter’s TikTok. It’s gross.

Some of the lauguage the mother uses, she dumped me, she ghosted me, the words she is using are the the type of language you use when you have a bad date....

"she sent us a three page letter accusing us of things we did wrong" - "I have no idea why she went no contact"
"she told me not to contact her" - "I sent her an email telling her about my self development"
"I am not that political" - rants about politics
"she told me how bad I hurt her" - "I thought if I just didn´t react she would just get over it"
"I didn´t bother to tell her her granddad died" - "she just didn´t care"

The emotional manipulation from this woman is astounding. The vast majority of adults do not go no contact without reasons. Their lack of self-awareness, complete disregard/invalidation of the daughters feelings and their genuine belief that she is the problem is cleary pointing out the actual problem, which is THEM.

I really hate how the mom acts like her daughter has no right to grieve for her dead relative because that was her dad!

@Randomstuffs261 1 year ago

28:46 "we love you no matter who you are, no strings attached"
... a few seconds later
29:15 "our kid isn't normal, she's having mental problems and she needs to apologise to us and we tried our best and she needs to care about us instead of her own problems that we attack her for"
How do they not realise their own inconsistencies.

@stacypitts9590 10 months ago

The fact that the daughter took her time to write an email and outline her hurts and the mom just acts like it doesn’t matter. I see exactly why the daughter cut her off.

@genihaynes9448 1 year ago

If you listen carefully shes willing to do anything except the one thing that would make things better and that is to juat take accountability.

With the obsession of baby pictures and young children videos, it seems like certain parents keep expecting their children to regress to a state that brought themselves happiness.

That's certainly how it felt my entire life with mine, as mine was very overt, telling me that they wish I would just go back to where I used to be: a state that was eager for their approval and just take their word as 100% fact.

@KrystalizedLyfe 1 year ago

The only person who can say if I’m a good mom or not is my daughter, she’s the only voice that matters.

@ItsPouring 9 months ago

It is astounding how she looks everywhere for answers as to why her daughter went no contact, but the 3-page letter personally penned by her daughter explaining why, that is a virtual roadmap that provided an opportunity for a point-by-point open dialogue. Just goes to show how this woman and her husband are collectively skilled at invalidating and ignoring what their daughter feels is important and remaining painfully ignorant and blissfully unaware. Hmmm... why doesn't she want to talk to us? Because it is utterly futile.

@jennyjunemoon-walker8739 1 year ago

I can't stand this woman.

@Travelling_with_my_dog 1 year ago

The way she thinks she's a hero (implying her daughter should be SO grateful) for saving a baby from choking on a candy wrapper; to me, that seems like the bare minimum for being a decent human being.

@KB-wh9bu 1 year ago

Kudos to the daughter for holding her boundary line. This woman is textbook NPD. She recognizes she is "forginving her daughter" to have compassion for herself, but she never once tries to find compassion for her daughter or why the daughter feels this way. She mentions thinking it would blow over but never inqiures of her daughter what she is feeling and why. ...because she doesnt care....she cannot and will not EVER hear her daughter. She's deaf and blind to ANYONE other than herself

@melbomartin 9 months ago

I can't stand the sight or sound of this woman. She is such a manipulative person; extremely emotionally immature and oblivious to her own role in things. She needs therapy and to work on herself. She also needs to stop stalking her adult child and also stop attention seeking on the internet.

@karinlester3066 11 months ago

Wow. I thought the mom was bad but then the dad showed up and he is right there with her. I hope this young woman is thriving alway from these two.

@irishempler19 1 year ago

Something about that mother is creepy and fake. First of all, hanging out your personal family history like that? And the way she's crying on video? It all just seems so fake and theatrical. Yuck.

@CourtneyAlexandra99 1 year ago

She was upset that other people on her life also cut her off and that hurt the most because (like with this whole channel) she wants to be told she is right and did nothing wrong.
