▲ 295 ▼ My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 271 points 7 months ago (4 children) My rebuttal is that your mom's a bitch and there's no reason to pay attention to anything she says. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 57 points 7 months ago Damn right. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 32 points 7 months ago Right? If I had a mom like that I’d be depressed too. Oh wait, I did, and I was. permalink fedilink source parent [–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago Confirmed. Tagged this person before, I've noticed they often comment about some fucked up shit their mom says. But they're young and probably not able to escape it yet unfortunately :/ permalink fedilink source parent [–] anzo@programming.dev 1 point 7 months ago She's giving you the most difficult life lesson. I am almost 40 and to this day I dread to 'actively hear' many words my dad has to say about me or my decisions. It's a difficult lesson because they are our caregivers and as such they did many good deeds. But at some point we need to put our own mental health above anyone else's rant, rage, or toxicity. We don't owe them shit. After that leap, you may be able to come back to the issue that they were addressing with their comments and reflect upon the issue itself on your own and/ or with the help of others (friends, therapist, chatgpt?? I wouldn't recommend the latter but it may be a good starting point and better than nothing..) permalink fedilink source parent
