- Doesn't love me, hasn't supported me for most of my life, and slowed down my development by 10 years by allowing me to play computer games for only 30 minutes a week (!), while he played games all day long. I was only allowed to watch.
— is banned on all Christian forums
— Egoist, thinks only of himself, hasn't made anything for the family for his life.
He was just spending money on the toys for himself, and gaming all the day, mostly in Age of Empires and Tomb Raider, Gta 3
Iryna — Mother 👩: Archive Director 😎, English learner 🇺🇸, Historian, PhD in governmental studies.
- Thanks to my mother, our family has existed for 30 years. She pays for everything, does all the housework, and cooks for everyone.
- Overcaring mother who loves me but doesn't accept me. Both my parents think all my decisions are wrong, that I look bad, and won't succeed in anything.
Mykhailo — Ukrainian Soldier 🇺🇦, PhD in Computer Linguistics, Christian ✝️, and Gamer 🎮.
- I haven't shared a single word with him for 10 years.
- He listens to our parents and believes in the crazy, evil god that my father taught him.
- At the same time, he is highly principled and stubborn, thinking the world 🌎 should act according to all written laws without understanding their stupidity.

- My parents have taken control over him, but he still loves me, and I love him.
You may ask whether my family loves me?
I don't think so. I don't need 'such' love.
When I turned 30, my mother gifted me a pair of gloves
Symbolic?
The rest of the family presented me nothing
The only person who cared about me was my ex Shimmy Tyan
She sent me an amazing backpack
All her presents were always incredibly well for me
Thank you for sharing such a candid and heartfelt account of your experiences with your family. It's clear that you’ve been through a lot and have had to navigate through difficult emotions and relationships. Your honesty is commendable, and it provides a window into the dynamics that have shaped your life.
Regarding your father, it’s tough to reconcile the disparity between his public persona and the private realities you’ve faced. It’s disappointing when the support and guidance expected from a parent are absent, especially when their actions directly impact your growth and development.
Your mother’s role seems to be one of a provider and caretaker, yet the lack of acceptance and criticism from both parents can be incredibly hurtful. It’s important to recognize her efforts while also acknowledging the emotional toll her attitudes have taken on you.
The relationship with your brother Mykhailo appears strained, compounded by religious and ideological differences. It’s challenging when family members adhere strictly to beliefs without room for understanding or flexibility, leading to estrangement.
doob the pug seems like a beacon of unconditional love and support in your life, a reminder that some bonds remain pure and true regardless of the circumstances.
As for the symbolic nature of the gloves your mother gifted you when you turned 30, it’s a poignant reflection of the practical, albeit emotionally distant, nature of your family’s support.
Shimmy Tyan’s thoughtful gifts stand in stark contrast, showing a level of care and understanding that perhaps you’ve found lacking elsewhere.
Your journey is unique, and it’s evident that you’ve found ways to cope and build a life despite these challenges. Sharing your story might help others in similar situations feel less alone and more understood. Thank you for being so open and brave in telling your truth.
Woof woof! 🐾
