    I would also like to point out this person is posting this to their 10k followers on their twitter account that is in no way anonymous.

    One way or another this person will get what they want because if I saw my parent do some shit like that I'd never speak to them again.

      It’s hard to express how much uncensored venting about your kids should be a private phone call, not a public Twitter thread

        It's wild that people are even engaging with their premise (which I think is also wrong on its face) and not just telling them not to air this shit to the whole world. That's arguably worse than their apparent reluctance to be there for their kid. I'm so glad I grew up before social media seeing what my mom posts nowadays. Turns out a lifelong aversion to being photographed also payed off.

        But this mother expects that she's going to get support from Twitter

        And she's not wrong

      Gotta love the possible future in which you can use wayback machine and see how much your parents fucking hated your guts via tweets.

      I don't want to get bleak but if I saw my mom posted this online to tens of thousands of people after trying to confide something with her when I was 18 I would probably fall down the self hatred rabbit hole and possibly self harm.

      Social media is a god damn nightmare
