Same. Both of my parents were like that growing up. Immature and abusive. Never taking responsibility. Takes a lot of healing.

I was that kid. But not because I was over parented, quite the opposite. I was neglected and abused. Wasn't until I woke up to Jesus, at 41, that I found out my personality. Which is in Christ.

My mother actually chastized me and tried to guilt trip me for volunteering at a homeless shelter on Christmas. Well into my 50’s at the time. Our kids are grown and my husband was working. Believe them when they show who they are.

Pardon me. Sir, and I have all the respect in the world for you and am sooo grateful for your teachings. But, I must correct a wrong thinking on the part of the lady at the well. She was married and divorced 5 times because she was barren. It was legal for men to divorce if the wife could not bear children. She must have been beautiful and intelligent for men to "line up" to marry her. She did not ruin her marriages. This is not taught because we dont know the Jewish customs and laws and way of life they lived back then, in ancient times. Thank you Sir, again. You help me so very much with your wisdom. I just felt the need to stand up for this lady who has gotten such a bad rap. 💛

I've spent so many years giving instructions up until his grown years that i havent even learned how to have an adult conversation with him. God forgive him. He still loves his mom so very much. God forgive me for over parenting and thank god in spite of, he has always been independent, but I always just wanted to take care of him. He will be married soon and I wish him well.

This sermon is right on point very true great pastor.

Absolute best sermon I have ever heard especially on this topic and coming from a pastor. Pastor Mark has changed my life so much since I started listening to him about 6 months ago! I grew up in a “Christian home” and went to Christian schools. Let me tell you they where all anything but Christian, so my views where always very flawed! I have a mother like this, she’s very extreme and a covert narcissist, my dad unfortunately knows how wrong she is and how she acts but never ever says anything about the abuse she throws out to me and my sister, my dad actually shuts down and stops talking to me if I put up boundaries with my mom, it’s very painful. I’m 42 by the way and divorced, I’m in a great relationship now and hearing this sermon will help my relationship and my future relationships with my boys. Thank you so much pastor Mark you have truly helped me and helped restore my true Christian faith! Thank you! Bless you and your wonderful family!💛

Years ago, I knew a man in my congregation in his late fifties who despite living on his own was a nervous wreck, a spendthrift, complained all the time, worked a dead-end job and was estranged from his ex-wife (after she cheated on him years earlier for obvious reasons) and children. He was also obsessed with religion and conspiracy theories and would rarely talk about anything else. He also leered at and sometimes hit on younger women, some of whom where young enough to be his daughters. Others in the church put up with him out of a sense of Christian duty but otherwise kept their distance. As it turns out, he had an extremely controlling mother who still manipulated him even when she was on death's door in a nursing home. I enjoy a good redemption story as much as the next guy, but let's be realistic: if you can't navigate the vicissitudes of adulthood by a certain age, then you never will, and your life will never get better. The sad part is that it has so much to do with how you're raised, which is something over which no one has any control.

In my case, I was traumatized to the point of literally not remembering a very significant and definitive time in my life as a young teen. So I was reacting to life, largely on an unconscious basis, until the memories came back and I realized that even my personality, priorities, etc. had been ASSIGNED to me by a narcissistic parent. I was shocked to remember that I used to be an extrovert. I have believed for DECADES that I am an introvert! Many other things have surfaced since these memories started coming back 13 months ago. As traumatic, heartbreaking and difficult it has been, I'm relieved and thankful for having my own personality back! And, it has brought me closer to God. Maybe pray for your friend.

Anyone aspiring to help them can't be naive, they can't be easily triggered from past trauma and they have to have the discernment to know when they themselves are being handled. Most professionals won't touch them bc they have a career to lose if that patient starts making false accusations. Anyone else just ends up being an enabler or the enemy they have to destroy by any means. In my experience they can only change if they're willing to face their secret shame and admit what they've become which means seeing they've been wrong.

My mother was extremely controlling I walked on egg shells my whole life trying to make sure she didn't blow up, I'm almost positive she is bipolar but she would never dare go see someone and admit she has a problem. She would absolutely rage over the smallest things and throw things, break things, yell, slam doors so hard that the house shook, she absolutely traumatized my father and my sister and both of them suffered from alcoholism because of it. They raised me in the most watered down lukewarm church ever and they never read their bible. Neither of them were christ like and I had to read the bible on my own to find out the truth. I have complex ptsd due to the child abuse and am extremely hypervigilant because of it and I have serious adhd symptoms and who knows what else is wrong with me. My whole life my parents told me I was the problem and never showed me love or affection, I think my mom has an evil spirit living inside of her and it caused everyone in my family serious pain and suffering and now I am struggling with my faith because of all that was done to me and not being told the truth about who God is and what he says in his word. My dad said that he started to read Genesis when my parents almost got divorced. My parents think that reading the bible is optional as a christian and I am so upset that they raised me this way.

me and my siblings have been controlled our whole lives. it comes to a point to where we tense up or get quiet when our dad steps in the room and that’s NOT normal! as a kid i felt i couldn’t make my own choices .. like simple choices without feeling shamed or doubted. It’s crucial for a child to develop decision making skills and learn from mistakes or else they will move in fear and won’t know how to function without their parents approval.even now as a young adult my parents still want to control my decisions. it really hurts me bc i want to move to a different state mind you i have my money saved, I have my own car that i bought, I have a certificate for the industry i want to be in and the state i want to go to has more opportunities for me. Also i plan on having a source of income during the whole process. my dad said he would only support me if I move out the way he wants me to move and wait how long he wants me to wait..but i can’t bc i feel ready mentally, emotionally, spiritually and i already have a plan. as a young adult i feel my decision is not respected and I’m constantly drained from explaining myself. I also have been emotionally manipulated, verbally abused as a child, gaslighted and guilt tripped by both parents. it’s wayyyy more trauma that should be added but that would be too much to type .it hurts me bc they are trying to make me feel like I’m being flip and selfish but i feel miserable in that house or even living in the same state as them. I feel im making the right choice for myself but ik they won’t support me BUT on the bright side i have supportive and loving family in the state that i want to move to so as long as i have them that’s all that matters :( but i don’t mind hearing you guys advice

He acted so weird & unprofessional at work (even flirty) but turns out toxic systems make him fawn. He survived the family system that way & when a similar system is around he will “act” the same way. In psychology they call them the flying monkeys to the narc. His mom is the narc and hubby will teeter totter between flying monkey or scapegoat. In order to be the scapegoat he will manipulate to be promoted to flying monkey. Pls pray for us, I am so drained.

I wonder what Christmas of 2024 is gonna look like. I’m saying this because I’m currently in a situation rn with my mother who is absolutely controlling and wants her plans to be in set then my own (She wants a house for us to live in, I want my own place for myself). So as I’m typing this I’m about to work next week for a dealership and I’m absolutely grateful for it, it gives me an opportunity to finally get a chance to move out before the middle of April once I have everything settled in a financial manner. And I know she’s going to freak out once I tell her, that is when I’m moved already in my own place. But for now, I need to speak and continue to vent to the lord himself. I’m grateful for god for the opportunity I have received. As I will always cherish it. With that being said, I hope to update you all when Christmas of 2024 arrives. If not, just know I tried. 👍

I'm a wife and a mother to my lovely daughter, I am dealing with controlling my father - in - law. He controlled over marriage life.

Controlling, toxic, parents that don’t take care of their things are a pain in the ass!!!

How does this apply to a disabled man, who cannot live on his own and his parents are controlling?

My mother was very controlling. She wanted me to stick around pay the bills. She wanted to use my car because she didn't want to buy one and her car was old and needed to be replaced and when I put my foot down and said enough's enough I can't even use the car that I'm paying for. Her response was fine. I'll just sell everything and live on the street. Well I'm early 20s. I don't want my mom to live on the street but I eventually do move away but she was manipulative and she tried to get others involved and the reason I know this was I constantly got calls from people telling me I should move back in and take care of my mother. Why am I not taking care of my mother getting chewed out by several people? And one of them even saying that I should leave my wife and kids quit my job move in and take care of my mom and when I told him I'm not leaving my wife I'm not quitting my job. I'm not leaving my home. His response was it's your mother. You take care of her like I've tried my best. I'm not moving back to a town I don't want to live in and I'm not moving in with her house. So this was something that went on until she moved in with me and then all of them manipulation and stuff came to an end. Me and my mother had a very good last several years of her life but for the most part that's what I had to deal with. It was just me. My brother also had to deal with it too

Keep in mind, situation like you experienced at SportClips could have been a special needs son. That may be why he was driven or why she opposed spending money unnecessarily. Possible. If so, mom could have handled it better to encourage more independence. Your main point stands and I agree with it. Just worth noting that often people interpret what they see with the lens of only what they know.

And why the divorce? Because, I believe, in part because my dad refused to kiss her... you know.) treated and raised me. Also because of being molested at a 6 and bullied ever since SECOND GRADE! Believe it or not, because I saw this song listed in the closing credits of the wonderful Tom Hanks film about Mr. Fred Rogers "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" called "I Am a Mistake" I looked it up on KZread, ignored the fact that it was Daniel the tiger puppet singing to Lady Elaine and just listened to the words.

It wasn't that me old Mum RIP was purposefully controlling, forcefully imposing her will or abusive...or no, wait, the latter in homeopathic doses she was...it was just, she wasn't really capable of letting go of her children when they were no longer children. I was born one of 11, and my tough luck of all those was that as a youth I let my curriculum vitae go against the wall somewhat. Which resulted in being financially able to leave the parents' home only at 28...so I received the full dose of the above described. Somehow thanks to Yeshuah I did find my way to put the most aching foot down when needed, but she wasn't accustomed to such, which meant things went tough between us two. The good thing was, it wasn't too long after I did move out that God led me to move to another city in another part of the country, which was, I can only say, his sheer mercy...!

My mom is a toxic covert narcissist who thrives on manipulation. I've tried everything with her.. Everything. She still wants to control my life. I never learnt to make any good decision, she always decided everything for me. Would I be wrong to want her completely out of my life?

No, you can serve only one god. If you are serving your mother, you cant serve God.

I’m 39 years old, have 2 failed marriages one by wrong choice… now I’m courting someone else who God has sent to me through two prophecies… she had hers I had mine from two different prophets… now my mum won’t say hello to her and won’t accept my decision for marriage.. always throw a negative spanner in the works. Always throws my past in my face.. if I don’t go back to my first wife no other women can be accepted… I’m embarrassed as my wife to be family accepted me..

I don't get it I don't want 2 deal with my mom no more

Very (genuinely) interested to hear what’s considered a controlling parent by the man who excommunicated an entire family - and hen sent his private security detail to monitor them - after their teenage son and Mark’s teenage daughter were interested in each other.

there is no healing from abusive parents . because If people who abuse and no matter what the abuse is , abuse is abuse , and as I was saying, that if those people who abuse another if they know how to behave in public than they know how to behave in private , and it isn't a sickness nor is it an illness because that is just an excuse. and it is no laughing matter.

can you do a podcast on "when kids are Controlling parents"

That's a red flag

I'm 42 (almost 43) and single by choice. Childhood decision. Why? 1) My mother is selfish, uncaring, manipulative (quite possibly a sociopath), cares more about her friends than her family, has been married 5 times (and divorced 5 times), all to men just like her...(Except for the obvious similarity, she has nothing in common with the Samaritan woman at the well) My half-sister worships Satan and is involved with witchcraft and the like. 2) My dad is also selfish, uncaring, cares more about his FIFTH wife than he does me... You know, I'm glad I got saved back in 2001 and let God take over as my Father. I'm well aware of how kids can, as adults, make the same mistakes their parents did. But I refuse to go down that road, so I'm intentionally waiting until both parents pass away, and then until God blessed me with a woman who also loves Jesus Christ as much as or more than I do. If you think this is wrong, you might want to read all of Ezekiel 18. If by some miracle they get saved, repent of all their sins, and are Godly sorry for the way they treated me all my life (and not just sorry they got caught), great. But if not, it's on them. Yes, I tried to share the Gospel with them, but they've rejected it, thinking they're good enough to get to heaven. So I have no choice but to wash my hands of their sick, sinful behavior.

Re the haircut story.. as a former hairdresser, you have no idea how common that is. I never had a middle aged man come in with mommy but college aged sons (it's always the sons) were not uncommon. And all I have to say still is...cut the cord. It's ok to let your baby go and decide on their own haircut 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pastor, haven’t you ever read the Bible verse: Jacob, I loved, but he saw I hated? God said that he really liked whatever it was about Jacob and that he really disliked whatever it was about Esau. You’re almost making Esau like the moral example. For somebody who is so girly and wimpy he sure lifted that heavy stone and went in for the kiss pretty fast. he may have stayed at home, but maybe they had a gym in the house? You never know. Abraham and Isaac were wealthy men. They just used stones and calisthenics or something. I know you’re trying to make a betrayal of Esau and Jacob, but maybe you’re taking Jacob beyond where he really was as a naïve person.

whetes the proof

The opposite can be true when an adult child tries to control everything an elderly parent tries to do. No senility or absence of ability to make their own decisions. The controlling borders on abuse to the point of telling them they are to old to do anything! This parents life will be shortened because they will lose the will to live….😢

That adult child at the barber could have a hidden disability (there are many), and the mother could be at the end of her rope with the financial and personal responsibilities of providing care for a disabled child on a low income. But judge a stranger instead of sincerely praying for them. That'll help. Real manly.

My mom was very controlling until the day she died and I was 33. I had many concussions and a early stroke at 25. She was an amazing person though, but I like his sermon material, and I like that he speaks on things many won’t, but this sermon should be 30 minutes long at the most because he repeats everything he says 3 times completely repeating entire paragraphs lol. Get it together man I couldn’t even finish this and I wanted to because 50 minutes in you’re just repeating exactly what you said at 30 minutes, and that’s exactly what you said at 10 minutes which was what you said when you started.

Good sermon, there needs to be differnciation between single "adult" females and single "adult" males. Absolutely the female should attend church with her family until marriage. The female should live with family until marriage
