“No” to parents treating you poorly

September 16, 2025

When we grow up, there may come a time when our decisions are going to conflict with our parents’.

But a lot of times, our parents ended up saying a lot of horrible things, like, “You’re selfish!” “You’re a sl*t” (for those of us who end up with a bf) or even threatening that they’ll unalive themselves.

Because we grew up in that environment when we were young, so we may think that it is “normal” or acceptable. Or we may think we deserve it, and the only way is for us to change.

But just because it’s always been like that doesn’t make it right. It doesn’t make it acceptable.

No one, including our parents, has the permission to treat us poorly.

In order for us to deal with such situations, we will need to learn to deal with the mixed emotions, ie guilt and fear, so then we can figure out where we stand to set boundaries.

Because here’s the truth, if we don’t stand for ourselves, if we don’t respect ourselves, no one ever will.
