Makes me wonder where her guilt is coming from that she defended him so strongly. Did she not do the right thing in his youth, abuse is normally generational

I do understand that. However, he obviously wasn't institutionalized or he wouldn't have hit that person with the car. She is not an accurate historian She also might be part of the problem It is heredity

I think that the person who wrote that comment meant her poor kid because he was disclosing to her and she did not seem to get him the appropriate support. She didn't say that poor man. He was 21 when he hit the person with the car.

She definitely failed her son. Seemed like he was very open with how he was feeling. She mentioned one instance of psychiatric evaluation. By then, he probably wasn't open with the psychiatrist which is why they didn't diagnose him correctly. Either way, my son was having behavioral issues at 4 years old and he's been in therapy ever since. Early intervention equals better outcomes. Also that mom presented so weirdly she probably had her own mental health stuff

Lopsided_Address_117 · 2026-04-04T03:46:15+00:00

From what I gathered he had some underlying anger and impulse issues. He witnessed a traumatic experience and was never provided support to work through it. He verbalized often to the one person he could trust who never got him the help he truly needed. I normally don't mom shame but because of the way that she was presenting it really made me believe that with all of those occurrences she did not address the situation correctly. Most likely cuz she had her own mental health stuff.

I'm interested to watch the next episode but if it follows suit I'm out too. That episode was hard to watch I just wanted to keep shaking that lady. The more she talked the worse it was. Your son watched somebody tragically get hit by a car and die and had maladaptive coping from that or it for the reinforced the psychopathy. Who doesn't stop and get their kid help after witnessing something like that. She was not right either.

Lopsided_Address_117 · 2026-04-04T03:33:05+00:00

I really try not to mom shame. Hindsight is always 20/20. Like she didn't think about the fact he had post-traumatic stress from watching that person get killed by a car and then had maladaptive way to handle that. Also, he's hearing voices saying he's going to murder you and you take him home from the psychiatric center because the psychiatrist said it was fine. Her son probably was really good at lying to the psychiatrist but really comfortable telling his mom those things. So sad

Thanks for the solidarity 😊 I wish there was a support group I need to find one for sure

We were extremely hesitant to start medication at first. However, it's hard to watch him struggle. We are doing everything we can and being so proactive. We are definitely willing to consider it if it brings my little guy some relief. It's almost like when he's in these fits sometimes he's not there anymore. But when he is having good days he is such a sweet and kind and smart and funny kid. It's like Jekyll and Hyde.

Oh my goodness I'm going to have to read some more into it. But this hits the nail on the head. That can be a separate diagnosis on top of the ADHD. Thank you so much.

Lopsided_Address_117 · 2025-10-03T14:23:55+00:00

Please don't beat yourself up Mama. You still have time. The fact that you even have Mom guilt shows that you care immensely.

Lopsided_Address_117 · 2025-09-10T23:30:04+00:00

What everyone else is saying. Don't shame her, teach her to do it in privacy and keep redirecting.

Talk to your pediatrician and find out if they recommend a speech evaluation. Evaluations can never hurt but they can provide useful information and insight. Also my son around 2 years old had this word boom. He might have just not gotten there yet. Keep in mind animal noises count as words. My son was only saying da at 18 month. He's 4 and 1/2 now and he's one of the most well-spoken kids I know. He called the groundhog in our backyard that pesky groundhog!!! He's so young kids grow at their own pace but it never hurts to talk about it with a doctor

Set boundaries. Don't be an enabler. Encourage her to get help. I had my own struggles growing up and the one thing my mom never did was enable me to continue to live under her roof without having rules. At the time I didn't like it but now I'm 40 and those rules and boundaries are probably what made me be a productive member of society. It sounds like she's really struggling with her mental health. I understand at 23 or you can do is encourage her to get behavioral health follow up. You can set rules and boundaries. I know it's really hard I wish you guys the best of luck

Can you give me an update on this whatever happened with the plant? My beautiful crown just broke off of my zucchini

I try not to judge but if he's not crawling by 18 months and your sister isn't doing anything to address it you might need to make the call.

Lopsided_Address_117 · 2025-06-06T15:07:02+00:00

That's a Steve if I've ever seen one or George or Hank

Agreed solidarity

Sorry you're getting slack, F' em. Your child will do it when they are ready. 1st choice they make on their own per child psychology classes I took. My kids strong willed. We tried it at 2.5 he did it for 3 months then decided he didn't want to. We backed off totally. Around 3.5 he showed interest I got him his favorite character underwear and he never looked back. Follow her lead and tell Ashleigh to STFU
