@shawnkhowerton: ADULT CHILDREN: IS THAT REALLY YOUR BEST ARGUMENT? Sometimes you just have to laugh at the absurdity of what you read on social media! In this video, I’m sharing some of the ridiculous arguments and insults directed at parents by estranged and alienated adult children. Apparently, when parents go above and beyond to provide their children with opportunities, financial support, education, and a comfortable life, they’re accused of trying to “buy their love.” But when parents provide only the necessities, they’re told that food, clothing, and shelter were simply their obligation. So which is it? And when the arguments run out? Here come the personal insults, name-calling, and profanity. Since when did insulting someone become a substitute for making an intelligent argument? You don’t have to agree with your parents. You don’t have to pretend they were perfect. And you certainly don’t have to overlook genuine mistreatment. But if you’re going to make serious accusations, shouldn’t you be able to have a mature, respectful conversation about them? Being an adult is about more than reaching a certain age. It’s about emotional maturity, critical thinking, accountability, and the ability to communicate without resorting to personal attacks. Parents, sometimes all you can do is shake your head, say a prayer, and hope that one day your child develops the emotional maturity to recognize the difference between having a legitimate grievance and simply being disrespectful. Because growing older is inevitable. Growing wiser is a choice. And sometimes, a little humor is exactly what we need to get through the nonsense! ❤️Coach Shawn 🕊️🕊️🕊️Please visit my link in my bio to book a private session, join a group, or to order my healing guides on Parental Alienation or Breaking the Trauma Bond. 🍃🍃🍃 https://stan.store/shawnkhowerton or http://shawnkhowerton.com/ Email me: [email protected] #shawnkhowerton #parentalalienation #divorce #narcissisism #estrangement

It’s truly awful…. The victim mindset is insane. I definitely would’ve never spoken to my mother the way one of my adult daughters is speaking to me.

They love the power trip, the graveling, the begging. It's like a child in an adult body. They need to mature. It's best to let life be their instructor now.

It's the vileness against an opinion.. Forget any kind of reconciliation efforts given their volatility. I couldn't stand to be near that energy.

Mine stated he was an adult and it was his choice to not speak to me. While his cell phone, vehicle, car insurance, job and housing are controlled and mostly paid for his father. 😂

Being silent is right. As soon as they aren’t controlling the conversation…. We are toxic, not a safe space for them, or my personal favorite…. No one but me can have an adult conversation around here. Well I guess it’s only an adult conversation when they feel right or are in control. And yes they go below the belt and throw insults. It’s sad…..

Sounds like these kids are brainwashed by someone who doesn’t want u to have a relationship with them. I always ignore them when they go down this crazy lane.

These are absolutely not insults. It shows their character and mentality by what they say. My father always said if you don’t want anyone to know how stupid you are shut your mouth.

They are emotionally immature and many have mental health issues I believe. I miss my daughter that I used to know.
