My goodness. I am so sorry to everyone who has gone through so much with toxic mothers. My mum was so kind and soft-spoken(she passed away when i was 18 years old). She was such a wonderful lady even my teenage friends loved her because she always told them how beautiful they were. My mums name was Peace. She was such a peace maker.

I just hate my mom. She makes everything about her. Every time I express my feelings or a problem I'm having, she gives me advise which invalidates my emotions. "You're not the worst, I was just trying to help maybe I love you too much". Fast forward to today, I don't want any kids🙃

Mine I don't know if it's a mummy wound but I always feel really let down by my late mum. She was diagnosed with HIV when I was around 8 years old and she died in 2010 when I was in form two. I didn't grow up with siblings because i had two and they also died with AIDS while still really young. My dad died in 2003 too. So being alone and now having to move in with the extended family was such a tough thing emotionally. Because I barely knew them too well. My mum refused to take her ARVs and she ended up becoming too sick until she died and I always felt she would have pressed on for me, I was in the age where a girl needs her mom. Yet she gave up on herself. I suffered through so much emotionally over the years.

I just know I have a lot of healing to do because how is it that I can relate to 90% of the comments? My mum was and still is my biggest bully. It's even harder when you still depend on her because I'm under her roof and depend on her for a lot. I'm still 19 but she keeps telling me to go sleep with men for money if what she gives me isn't enough

I started crying as soon as clicked the play button, personally my mum put me through alot,she wasnt there for me both Financiallyand emotionally,I had to beg her to buy me even a 50 bob pads...School opening days were a night mare,I almost dropped out of school. She used to drink so much alcohol and I would be left with so much shame in the neighbourhood not forgetting that I would be left taking care of my siblings...The list is too long MOTHER WOUND is not a joke. I have a daughter now and I am raising her in a way that I wished I was raised.

This is such a much needed episode. I applaud everyone that has come out to speak about their mother wounds and especially those who have chosen to cut off when their peace of mind was compromised, we are really evolving as a society. My mother wound spans back to my high school years when I would fall sick and she would say I am pretending :) or that I needed to take up certain subjects forcefully or I was demanding. This made me closer to my dad who was way empathetic and took me to hospital whenever this happened. I always ended up going back to school same day just to avoid my mother's remarks. While these are not substantially significant, I matured and came to acknowledge that the woman was going through alot back then mainly driven by the marriage and overwhelming financial demands. We have a very good relationship now and her empathy is just out of this world. I am not sure whether I want to tell her about it someday, but I am soaking in how much love and care she has for me and my siblings now. Our lives certainly changed and she does not have any toxic trait.

But why're most African mom's so toxic aki for sure? Maybe they're projecting what they've been through. Mostly people in Africa have children with the mentality that they will serve me when i grow old. In today's world things have changed, most people cant afford to take 100% care of their parents. So that means her ambition has been cut short, hence the bitterness. Please let's normalize saving for old age to avoid such scenarios.

Thank you for this episode. I am raising my daughter with so much love, simply because this is all i know. I come from a house where mom showed us so much love. People in my community would always say that we are spoiled since my mom is always nice to us. In my mom's world view, her children come first. Mom was brought up by her grandmother, her mom did not/does not love her as much, however, my mom chose to parent differently, she chose to show love to her kids even though she didn't get it from her mom. Becuase of her good choice, she was able to pass on the button of love to me and my siblings. My daughter is three, and i expect her to pass on the same button. We can break the chain, we can undo, we can unlearn, there is no excuse.

My mum has her days but General speaking she's a good mother. For her, I feel like things she's said are out of ignorance or because she thinks its okay since they grew up in such environment bila kuuliza maswali. But my sisters and I have learnt to call her out if she says hurtful things. Good thing she gets defensive but eventually turns around. Another thing is my mum likes kutambuliwa. Some of her choices led her and dad to be in debt. We paid those debts when we started working. Just from that I fear debt yaani. But now sometimes even now she has this lifestyle she expects you to help her keep up.

Damn! Growing up my mum was so tough on us, if something went wrong, my explanation was never considered but then as a kid I lied alot too, but obviously there are times I wasnt lying. She exposed my weaknesses and mistakes to others, being a teacher, she would ask another teacher to beat me for something I did. With time, I resented our relationship, that as working woman right now, I feel weird when she expresses her care, concern and love for me. It feels really really weird. Hopefully, I can overcome this

It’s mindblowing When you realise you have a good relationship with your mom because you live by her rules, cannot make decisions without telling her first because your mind has been conditioned to be a people pleaser. It’s a humbling moment.

Dr Anita Phillips says "The way you treat the child inside of you is the way you'll treat the child in front of you" Listening to this shows how much hurt people can hurt people. Our mums have mother wounds themselves, unfortunately, the trauma is passed on to the next generation. Also if you have struggled with father wounds, mother wounds are hard to acknowledge. You struggle with one parent so your crave for attention, affirmation or validation goes to the other parent. So acknowledging that your one present parent also has flaws can be really hard.
