Do you agree with this mom's assessment?

She managed to blame half the world and still be bitter about the children.

i hope her adult child is living her best life

Actually, people go to therapy because people like her don't go to therapy

The more this lady talks; the more I sympathize with her daughter.

My bestie's mom suggested she go to therapy, so she did. She started setting boundaries and now her mom wants her to stop going.

Something that stood out for me was the mother claiming that birthing a child is giving the child a gift that they should be grateful for. When I gave birth to my children the thought that filled my mind was that I had received the most wonderful and precious gift imaginable. Children do not owe us for giving birth to them.

She is right. Therapy is horrible for toxic relationships. That’s the point.

In therapy I am learning;

- I matter
- I belong
- I can
- I’m not just here to survive
- reparenting myself
- tools to manage my triggers
- my diagnosis, and with that how to build my optimal support system

At home I learned:

- I’m a mistake
- I’m a burden
- I should stay quiet
- I don’t belong
- I have nothing to contribute
- No one wants to hear from me
- I should just go away

Therapy is tough. It’s hard work when you follow the treatment. It’s also expensive. In the end, therapy leaves me better than home did. It’s not fair that any of us have to go to therapy to become a well adjusted person when others don’t because their parents did their job. This woman doesn’t even realize her daughter needed therapy because she was failed by her mother in so many ways.

Right off the bat, she's saying that the children are tearing families apart - completely denying the parents' roles in causing the estrangement

when she mentioned Gandhi and “being the change you wish to see”, i instantly cracked up saying “tf do you think we’re doing, lady?”😂😂

I can't take this woman seriously, she takes zero accountability for why her kid went no contact. Before a kid goes no contact there are years of the kid trying to kerp the relationship.  It might feell like it's sudden to the parent, but it's not, and I don't buy for a second that therapy is to blame

If this woman was my mother I would have had to go no contact.

She said that in the past, families always worked out their differences. No. No! With no phone and limited written communication, it was insanely easy for people to move away from their family and simply never speak to them again, even if they only moved 5 miles away. I can absolutely see just from this video why her kids want nothing to do with her. And she overlaps "Cancel Culture" with bullying, being held accountable, and just being forced to respect boundaries. Yeah, this lady doesn't seem like the type of person most people would want to spend time with.

I feel sorry for this lady.  She seems destined to suffer for the rest of her life simply because she is unwilling to see her own responsibility in her misery.

Amazing to see the real Diane. Actually felt a little bit sorry for her after first video. But with this video, I would say to the daughter, "Run, run and never look out."

remember in her first video when she claimed "I'm not that political!" ....sure, Diane.

Omg this further proves why her daughter went NC. The narcissism is intense.

Phew! Talk about invalidation and excuse after excuse. Daughter, if you’re seeing this, it looks like you made the right choice

17:08 I think we are hearing the “politics” her daughter brought up in her original letter. It’s easy for a privileged person who has done no self reflection to minimize their prejudices as “just politics.” As a gay man from a conservative family, I wonder how much of these prejudices on display here (and the vitriol she expresses) hit on her daughters own identity? Or made her worried that eventually the moms prejudices would eventually turn on her?
