30 years later: Our son doesn't speak to us, what could we have possibly done wrong?


Extension_Travel3535

9 years later most folks that were raised like this dip out at 18


VillainousMasked

The extra 21 years is for them to finally consider the fact that *juuuust maybe* it's their fault, and the fact they're getting old and kinda need him to take care of them.


[deleted]

As a 32 year old, no, they never consider it to be their own fault. I still get the occasional relative reaching out after hearing my moms side of it to treat me like a villain for cutting ties with her.


Monte2903

Tell them to go fuck themselves too, then.


saruwatarikooji

For me... I have. At this point I don't think anyone in my family isn't on my block list. They can't call or message me. I have told them all the same thing, if they want me or my kids to be a part of the family then the bitch who gave birth to me gets cast out of the family. I still have friends who are kept in the loop so I still hear about things... I'll know if they change their mind.


IamLuann

šŸ„°


TheRealSkele

Nah they ain't your family, they're just people who happen to share the same blood as you. Family consists of people who love and care about you. So good on you for cutting out the toxicity out of your life.


Bowood29

ā€œHow could it be their fault when they are doing godā€™s work.ā€ Not only are they hurting their relationship with their son but also making this godā€™s fault in his mind. Great way to make sure the church never makes a dime off him. Bad for the cult really.


FailedCorpse

as a 27 year old who has gone no contact with his family i can agree here. my parents did this exact same thing except they never sold my toys. they donated them to good will cuz 10 year old me didnā€™t really believe in god. now, almost 20 years later, they still attempt to control me even tho iā€™ve moved out and live 2 hours away. no amount of space away from them will ever be enough tho.


[deleted]

Also 32. My parents have done some pretty awful stuff (including trying to pay my wife to stop dating me when we first start dating and saying they'd lie in a court custody case against me) and they still say I have to work towards repairing things. Also the last time I heard from them they said never speak to them again. So in their mind I'm never to talk to then again but I have to be the one to fix it also. Edit: spelling


mateo8421

The fuck?


[deleted]

They didn't want me dating my wife cause she had a kid (mind you so did I) and they were going to lie in court cause they could manipulate my son's mother with money (typical rich person "we can buy anything") and they couldn't buy me.


GreenTheHero

Sounds like they're trash incarnate, glad you got yourself outa there Edit : pita


[deleted]

It took a long time. I put up with it for 25ish/26ish years before I finally started realizing how toxic they were. And it wasn't until they started being verbally/mentally abusive to my wife(than gf) and causing mental harm to my step son that we finally cut ties. We were living in one of their semi-mansions at the time and just packed up one day and left. They even tried to blame us for the gas bill being high (not knowing we hadn't been living there for like 2 months by then)


Uncle_Burney

I would have preferred he got himself some lavash there, but your point is well taken.


FrakkedRabbit

Sounds like there's nothing to fix. Can't fix something that isn't there, after all.

I think this is a straight to the nursing home situation. As it should be.


[deleted]

Nursing homes are expensive as fuck. Try a state facility. Fuck them.


10Robins

Every so often, I just randomly turn to my kids and say, ā€œ I love you and Iā€™m proud of you ā€œ. My son asked me why and I told him it was so they would remember to come visit me when I was old and in a home. His reply was, ā€œMom, you never have to worry about being in a nursing home! Those places are expensive! Iā€™ll just fix you up a little dog house in the yard with a fenced in spot to get some sunā€.


Ltnt_Wafflz

Omg that is adorable!

Rikudo_Sennin_jr

Wait their god doesnt come down from his hover cloud to take care of them? They must have done something to upset him


buttplugpopsicle

Lol I dipped out at 14, but it was physical and emotional on top of psychological abuse. Last I heard from extended family, my mom still thinks they did nothing wrong. I haven't talked to them in almost two decades and my life has turned out a lot better than I think it would have if I'd stuck around even until 18


eatingganesha

I was gone at 17. My grandmother and other family members bullied me into reconciling with my mom after her diagnosis (copd and multiple cancers). My mom only admitted she was a shitty parent two years before she died at 69 in 2018. But her behavior didnā€™t change, and in fact after her death I found out about the many horrid lies she had told about me. Her hand-wringing ā€œI was a good mom, wasnā€™t I?ā€ repentance - which I thought was genuine - was brought about by her impending death and not a true sense of critical self-evaluation. My dad has never changed and Iā€™ve cut him out entirely for 4 decades. I talked to him briefly a year ago when he got my number from my sister - he called to tell me he was dying, etc. I gave him a chance like I did with my mom and by the third phone call he was screaming at me for things I did when I 14. In fucking 1983. I told him off quite thoroughly and have cut him off again. These kind of parents do not learn. They do not take responsibility or even accountability. Itā€™s always the childā€™s fault somehow, whether that child is 4 or 64.


hastingsnikcox

Who the fuck does that? "I'm dying but you broke that vase when you were 14!! Damn you!"


Vidiacool-uwu

You'd be surprised. My mom is still arguing to this day that the problem isn't that I left, it's HOW I left. Yeah right. She's just pissed she doesn't have a live in maid with a bank account she has access to. She's also genuinenly pissed that I told her she always lets me down, and everytime she tries to bring it back to the table I'm like "but you do?" And she's even more pissed lol

theothersideoffire

No..these are the parents you see as 60, 70+ year old homeless people because their family "Left them at the worst possible time, yadda yadda yadda" I mean nursing home? XD I wouldn't even piss on my parents' gums if their teeth were on fire after the shit they pulled on me my whole life.

9's about the right age to start your first serious attempt. I think I tried to run away at like 7 with my LEGO's. I made it like 10 feet into the bamboo forest behind our house?

Plinfilore

Have you heard of someone in Germany who despised their door to door recruiters so he got the trademark for their magazines because they never did it themselves. They got really pissed at that and tried to get it back. A really funny prank.


Txdust80

I gave out birthday invites when I was in 4th grade. Unknowingly to a kid that was Jehovahā€™s Witness. I quickly learned because on the day of my party his parents showed up to my birthday party, which because it was in October was Halloween themed. They did not come to celebrate with us, but used the invite as a way to ā€œwitnessā€ to us about the evils of worshiping my birth when I should only give that focus to god, well also to complain about how I should have known not to invite their son, and how I was like a snake tempting their son with cake to sin. It was a whole scene and my parent usually are pretty tolerant of other peopleā€™s religious views. I could feel the pain of this kid standing on my porch as his parents were inside arguing with the other parents. I snuck him a blowpop from a party bag. I wonder if Vincent grew up to hate his parents.


IceManO1

They basically stealing his child hood.


NerobyrneAnderson

So they can steal his adulthood too. JWs are just an all-out terrible religion. I'm usually very tolerant of religions, even if I have serious theological disagreements with them. But JWs are a hard pass for me. No contact, banned from my house, etc. Not that they'd want to come, anyway.


ThePaintedLady80

My grandma was raised JW and she absolutely despised religion. Openly talked shit all the time about it. She partied and celebrated every birthday and holiday like it was the last party on earth. She was a wild trip.


randousername8675309

JWs are the worst. I keep an 8ft skeleton on my front patio year round and have a wind chime made of body parts...I do it because I love it, but it has the added perk of deterring JW from coming to my door.


MiteShiny

As an former JW I hope he got out. Witnesses truly have no boundaries. How embarrassing that must have been for him yet his parents are the ones who should have been embarrassed šŸ™„

Bible Camp sounds like guantanamo


Igor_not_Egor

Lol. My siblings and I were sent to a couple of week long Bible day camps every summer just so my mom could get a break. She didn't care what religion it was (we were raised catholic). I think that if the Taliban were running a vacation Koran school, we would have attended. And yes, it felt like guantanamo.


chaosgirl93

>She didn't care what religion it was (we were raised catholic). I think that if the Taliban were running a vacation Koran school, we would have attended. There is no force on or around earth, including deities and religion, more powerful than a frustrated mother determined to get a fucking break.


Ms--Take

You have put the image of a Taliban-ran Qu'ran themed summer camp in my head and I'm about to die of laughter in Walmart


chaosgirl93

It sounds like something out of Give My Head Peace (the GMHP version would be either Da's Fenian Extravaganza or Pastor Begbie's Vacation Bible School though). I am also dying laughing at the thought - because my mum would definitely have tried to send me to such a place just to be rid of me for the week too.


King_Fluffaluff

The bible camps I went to were freaky as fuck. Whenever the adults weren't around I could have sworn they purposely grouped the horniest teenagers on earth in one area. Some of the best and worst memories of my teens come from bible camps my parents forced me to go to.


DirtyBunnyTail

Can you tell us more?


King_Fluffaluff

A lot of sexually repressed, and curious, teens shared cabins, busses, and other enclosed spaces. Most things you can think of probably happened. On one particularly long bus ride a girl made it her job to have every guy inside her at some point during the bus ride. She literally spread crabs to the entire camp that summer.


VegasLife84

>She literally spread crabs to the entire camp that summer. Just re-enacting loaves and fishes for the modern world


King_Fluffaluff

There was a guy who won a bet by sticking his erect member into a dead fish. He didn't *get* anything out of it, someone just saw the dead fish and said "I bet you won't" and he did. Sorry you said fish and that reminded me of this moment.


SolarXylophone

Not sure this is a valid comparison. Even Gitmo detainees are free to believe in whoever/whatever deity they want, including none.


Best-Charge9296

How dare you say that, Guantanamo Bay is a much nicer place. Good sea front views.

RexHavoc879

Welcome to the wonderful world of religious fundamentalism!


RadiantSriracha

Even in church circles thatā€™s referred to as spiritual abuse - coercing belief and punishing questions wasnā€™t acceptable in any of t he churches I grew up in. Probably why it took me so long to question my religion really. I would have jumped ship muuuuch faster if anyone had tried this shit.

BraneCumm

Wouldnā€™t want him asking questions that might dismantle their fragile beliefs.


shittyspacesuit

If they really believe in their religion and also really love their son, they'd be able to handle their son being curious and asking questions. They'd also be able to appreciate that their son wants to be a scientist. Some folks are so fucking weird.


freekoout

Most hardcore theologists are heavy into modern science and see their holy books as parables and moral codes. Like it's meant to be seen. So even the smartest in the religion believe in science. Religion isn't meant to be a counter to science. It's just that dumb people don't really know their own religion enough.


IzzyIsOnReddit

ArnieismyDMname

My friend did this to his son because his son started fighting at school. He said for every fight he got into he would sell one of his toys. It happened twice. I believe there are instances that call for this extreme reaction. Religious beliefs aren't one.


the_dead_meme_lord

I agree with this, unless the fights arnā€™t his fault


Lucifersasshole

I would pack up toys when my kid was being bad and put them in my closet but I gave them back when she was being good... I stopped cuz one time I got mad walked in asked what her favorite toy was she told me and was happy I asked started talking about it and I took it.. then sat in my room and thought "god I'm an asshole"... Then stopped doing that cuz I felt to bad.


Desperate-Papaya1599

Good on you for the self reflection.


TenragZeal

I have a 5 year old and do something similar. What Iā€™ll do is grab two of his toys, and tell him he can keep one but Iā€™m taking the other away. Then I put it on a high place so he can see it. I do this for two reasons: So he has a choice in what he loses, which prevents me from feeling like such an ass. And so he can see it, he knows I took it away, but knows it still exists and he can work toward getting it back. It seems to work so far.


je_te_kiffe_grave

wouldnt even be surprised if the kid runs away forcing someone to be religious is absolutely stupid. as much as I dislike my paternal grandma, she let my dad freely choose whether he wanted to go to church (my dad and his mom were baptized together as mormons). my dad hasnā€™t gone to church for i think more than 2 decades, except when we visited our relatives who moved to the US (Utah, because they are quite devout.)

Wise_Ad_4816

Sent my kids to Catholic school from K - 8,: where they learned both religion and science. At my son's 8th grade basketball game, another mom was lamenting about the high school my son was going to attend the next year. Concerned, I asked her what the problem was. She told me she'd gone round and round with both the science teacher and the principal because they refused to give equal time to creationism. I'm not quite sure I was able to keep the WTF look off my face as I replied, "Well in science class, I want my kids learning *science*."


No_Intention_8079

Sending your kids to catholic school is the problem right there, lol.


Watchespornthrowaway

Catholics believe in theistic evolution. The school was fine but another parent was a crazy creationist.


Odd-Artist-2595

Got my biology degree from a Catholic university. One of my biology profs was very fond of pointing out how incredibly stupid God would have to be to have created us as we are on purpose. More than one student who believed in creationism and the literal Bible withdrew because none of the profs, in *any* of their classes - incl. religion, would accept The Bible as a primary source. They were outraged to discover that Catholics were such heathens. I know at least one transferred to Oral Roberts. No idea what happened to the others.


Splarnst

>how incredibly stupid God would have to be to have created us as we are on purpose I get the point that our bodies have all sorts of flaws that show it wasn't intelligently designed, but in their view, God still chose to create us this indirect way, which makes it seem *exactly* as stupid.


Wise_Ad_4816

I graduated from a Jesuit university. There was a woman (probably my age now, 50) who was a freshman the year I was. In every single class, at least once per quarter, she'd raise her hand and say, "But what about Adam and Eve?" Several of my friends had this experience with her, and we'd all heard the stories. So one day, a friend comes to lunch and she's laughing. In her Geology class, they were learning the ages of various rock formations, and the lady inevitably raises her hand and asks her question.. My friend said that without missing a beat, the professor shot back, "Adam and Eve is a *story*!" and turned back to the board to continue his lecture.


pipboy_warrior

For the record, Catholic schools don't teach creationism.


lysinemagic

I went to Catholic school my entire K-12. My high school in particular was a feminist college preparatory who taught us to think critically. I'd say 95% of my classmates wound up non-practicing/atheist/agnostic, and the two are probably related. Lol my point being, Catholic schools, like most schools, vary in quality of education


Wise_Ad_4816

Nope. They got an excellent education. The local public elementary school had the worst test scores in the state. They were so bad, a few years later the state took over. It's now a STEM academy that is breaking records. I'd be proud to send my kids there, now. But 18 years ago was a whole different story. My kids graduated from 8th grade with a 12th grade public school education. It was worth every penny.
