Mom Hates Celebrating Kids’ Birthdays During Holidays, Destroys Their Relationship: “I Just Walked Away”

Spread the love

While everyone has their quirks, some people believe that the unhinged way they see the world has to be inflicted on everyone else. Fortunately, it’s pretty rare that these people possess actual power, but a very common exception to this is when one lives with a controlling parent.

A netizen shared their dysfunctional family dynamic online and asked for some advice. Their mother had a very controlling rule, that if someone’s birthday fell on a holiday, no one was allowed to celebrate it. Since this included two out of three of the kids in the family (for Easter and Thanksgiving), conflict was inevitable.
