I’m in my 30s ( close to 40), and I have just went into no contact with my mom ( and maybe one of my sisters ). Both of them are very manipulative and just evil . I have been so abused by my mom my entire life and there were times I had to walk away from and I even moved out of state for a couple years to get away from her. I didn’t miss her for one second but I missed not ever really having a loving mother that I could have a good relationship with. I moved back home bc she was getting older and thought maybe if she needs help etc then her manipulative behaviors started up again as she was blaming me for things I never did , giving me the silent treatment again etc and about 8 weeks ago ( as she started the rounds of silent treatment again ) I decided I have had it. I now travel for work so I can be in a different state etc and this will give me time to think about if I want a complete disconnect from her forever. Or do I just move to another state and have very little contact with her ? I don’t know but I want to go to therapy and think about how she has affected my entire life. She is the reason I never wanted kids bc I was always afraid I would pass down her horrible mothering. I have things I know I need to work on. One of my sisters I feel the same about. Why I had to be born In such an unhappy unstable dysfunctional family that I am not sure how to recover from. I wish I had her insight on things before I hit 30

I truly truly admire her. I've gone through that experience myself, although it wasn't as bad as hers I suppose, but the feeling of viewing your parents for what they are is deeply traumatic.

I know exactly what you mean. Nothing harder than realizing that your parents were not only human but may have went through exactly what they put you through. Being a mom myself now has made me have to face the fact that my mother wasn’t evil incarnate she became that way because she had been raised by generations of evil…if I didn’t face that then I’d be at risk of continuing the cycle. My son and daughter will be raised by the all that is good, endless love and abundant forgiveness and I pray they will raise their children with those same things. We are healing generations of pain and I’m so proud to have it start with my children.

Narcissistic mothers are the worst. They may not hit you but the psychological abuse is the worst. You go through life walking on eggshells and when they touch you, you cringe. You are never good enough. You are the scapegoat for mostly everything. It’s especially bad if you are Indian or African because you are taught that a mother is saintly…..
I'm reading her book at the moment. I'm floored. Narcissistic abuse to the umpteenth degree. Her mom & the Creator. My heart just breaks for her journey~ praying for healing for you, Jeannette ❤
Perfect example of how someone can experience abuse their whole life while believing they are loved. The abuser believing they’re doing everything out of love. Sometimes that love is suffocating and dangerous. Candidly written, beautifully read. I'm talking about her audiobook
When she said “Im proud of myself” and you can tell from her face she was in shock and said, “omg I’m proud of myself” again, then cried! You can tell she never hears those words from herself. And the fact that she subconsciously said it and cried broke my heart. Thank you Jennette for continuing to give us a childhood even if that meant you got stripped from yours. 💔

When the interviewer asked "why, why are you proud of yourself?", my immediate response was, cos she DIDN'T SELL OUT!! She did well, good the hell on her!
I was abused as kid and no one believed me because I laughed too much. Abused kids don't always look or behave a certain way. Some of the saddest people have smiles on their faces. I laughed in school so much because that is where I was the happiest and safest.

Laughing is a coping skill. Some people who grew up with abuse have a strange , weird sense of humor. We cope by laughing things off. It is a releave of stressful emotions. Crying too, but I rather laugh all day than cry all day. Laughter is the best medicine! Crying is a releave too, but it makes you feel small and helpless. Laughing makes you feel strong. If I can still laugh about my abuser ,I am not broken, I can look ahead and plan my escape.

I listened to the whole book, it felt so powerful and helped me realize that I was in an abusive child/parent relationship just like Jennette, all this time I thought everyone went through those things especially when she was talking about wanting to please her mother and the showers. Looking forward to what else she's gonna write about! Shoutout to the interviewer for asking great questions, giving Jennette time to talk and showing so much respect. This felt like two friends sitting and talking.
Just finished her book, i’m devastated she was going through all that while I was watching her on iCarly as a kid. I’m so happy she has rebuilt her life into something positive and inspiring.

If a minor can't legally consent to (most) things in general and cannot legally sign a contract by their self... doesn't it seem odd that parents are allowed to consent to their (minor) children doing such extreme jobs so young?

Agreed. I was the kid who was always “so mature” for my age and I knew from years of Therapy, it wasn’t a good thing. I used to joke, you can thank trauma for that. T me it meant I had to grow up quick in order to navigate the pitfalls of the abuse I suffered at the hands of my parents and my classmates.The hardest part about that kind of alienation, most kids my age I couldn’t connect with. Thus I always dated and had friends that were sometimes even 30-40+ years older than me. While normal kids and teens would be worried about their boyfriends and going out dancing, I was worried about my career and being “independent”. I didn’t actually start to live my life until after I sought Therapy. I pretty much worked all throughout my teens and 20s and never really went to parties. I thought they were too “juvenile.” After Therapy I realized I missed out on key parts of development that are probably the funnest times in a persons lives. It was sad.

@@ericjaviermejia That is sad for you, it really is and I hope you have health and healing now. I too was mature for my age. I was even doing peer counseling in highschool as I was recommended for it. I didn't suffer any trauma though, so someone being mature (and yes I did date older guys but not that much older) for their age isn't always a bad thing. I was a responsible kid from a decent family, the youngest of three girls. Having older sisters probably contributed to me maturing faster but it wasn't a bad thing. It doesn't always have to spell disaster.
I love her, and I'm sorry she went through that. She's such an intelligent and emotionally comprehensive person it's inspiring, and she's right, the title made me click the video so fast. Glad I did.
Her stance on all of this is so healing. I relate to her background with her mom so much and instantly understood and related to the title before even reading it. I love seeing her display who she is now after growing and healing from this

Hi Jodi
Thank you Jennette, for giving us a glimpse into your life and how you're healing. When I was a kid, I related a lot to Sam Puckett, the broken home she had and her toughness. Reading your book, I also relate to some of the situations you've written about. I'm in the process of starting to heal, I have been in therapy for almost a year, and while it's baby steps, I'm still moving forward. Your book showed me that it's okay to have a hard time and.have conflicting feelings while healing, but we'll get there, I'm sure of it. 💚
It’s crazy to me that I seen her personality/ character as Sam on ICarly, as strong and tough. However she was dealing with the worst kind of trauma. I was always wishing to be more assertive like her as Sam. However I never knew she had to deal with others being abusive to her. My little child self thought that “no one can mess with Sam” and it’s saddening to know older adults were messing with her. That sometimes it’s the strongest ones out there that are battling wars no one knows about.

She said it was a long time since the last time she indulged the disorder, and i took that at optimistically as i could and interpreted it as her putting it in the past.
She really is incredible. So well spoken and confident. Im glad she’s in a place better than the hell she went through.
Titling her book, the way she did, is HUGE, for me. I know a lot of people are upset about it, but I feel like I can finally breathe now that it's ok to say that, out loud. Most of us love our mothers, and for good reason, but it's perfectly ok NOT to love your mother and, for me, Jennette is telling me it's ok not to love my mother. I needed that.

100 same for me
I wish more people understood not all moms are amazing people. I’m currently not talking to my mom because I am coming to terms with my messed up childhood and people have the nerve to tell me I’m wrong, being stupid, and dramatic. They don’t see the whole story. Someone just told me the other day that I’ll regret not speaking to her and I’m like… nah. I don’t wish her to die but for my own sanity she needs to not be in my life at this moment. I think people just like to assume moms are best, most caring creatures in this world and sadly that’s not always true Edit : wow thanks for the support guys 🥰 I made this comment more so to get my feelings out and never expected so many to understand. To clarify : my mom has always been an extreme conspiracy theorist, neglectful, and allowed my brother to continually abuse us. I am now 31 and she’s gotten worse with her conspiracies because of the internet, she found others who are like her and she’s just running wild with fake news and pretty much screams at everyone who disagrees with her. I just can’t handle it anymore. I cut my brother out of my life completely about 6 years ago, and I finally realized I need to do the same with her. We haven’t spoken in 4 months so far. I’m actually debating on writing a memoir about my life, that’s how I ended up at this video

I get it! I haven't talked to mine in 6 years. People can't fathom it, and it use to infuriate me but now it just bothers me. Just because women have reproductive organs doesn't mean they are fit for kids. My mother use to make me wear the same clothes for a week, lived in a hoarder home and threw scissors in my face toppled with verbal abuse. There are mothers who rape their own kids worst case scenario....There's also this thing calls Satanic Ritual abuse, I'm not sure how it works but I know that the parents are involved.... At this point I don't bother with people, I keep it short and simple, some people I don't even tell at all. If they were to continue pushing me I wouldn't open up but I'd say some mother's go to jail some mother's die at birth.....not everyone has a mom....and just walk away...There are just details that are to intimate to share with people and it's ok to say I will not talk about it.....Maybe you might not agree but what has helped me was finding healing in God and of course I've gone through therapy....Lord knows how much my emotions were damaged but parts of me have healed and I once again thank God!

@@imrosegogi1714 It's the reporter's job to make sure the audience understands the why. She wasn't being insulting or doubtful. The question helps internalize the moment for both Jennette AND the audience. I think it would have been even more rude to completely ignore her statement and move on in the interview as if she wasn't having a moment.
"The Path of Integrity" She totally owned that statement. People who have never been through what She has can never fully understand the mixed emotions and all the easy way outs one would consider. She didn't take the bribe and instead took the way She felt was Her own and that speaks volumes on how far She's come. Good for you Jennette, you made us all laugh and feel good while you couldn't a that time, and speaking for fans, You have our Respect and Love. We got your back, if ever and whenever you may need it.

When Jenette got emotional I could feel the depth of her tears. She could have easily taken that money, moved out of the limelight and changed careers, but instead she chose to highlight her trauma in order to fully recover. Her writing is her weapon!! She can help so many heal❤️ She is truly an inspiration!!!

Did her mother have a brain tumor she's not saying but illness can bring out alot of thing's that really were not deliberate or intended to harm anyone!
