Lmao the big fight w my mom last week she literally wouldn't stop bringing up Mikovits and I was too tired to fact check her and lookie here! Another lying crook trying to sell a book https://twitter.com/doctorow/status/1259534841718075397
I want a relationship with my mother and I also want her NOT DYING OF COVID but she's 10 years too deep into this conspiracy shit I swear to god. How the hell do you get through to a woman whos entire life she has fallen for liar after liar after liar I can't help her omg
I'm fucking livid!!! She fell for my dad she fell for the creep guru whos living room I was forced to meditate in (he ended up sexually harrassing women in their group), she fell for anti vax, for mikovitz, for pizza gate, she fell for the mother fucker from "The secret"!! Like!!
The one that was arrested!! Mother fucking "law of attraction" mother fuckerslike james Arthur ray who ended up GETTING PEOPLE KILLED she made me GO TO SEMINARS W THOSE PPL, spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on Lies. Money we DID NOT HAVE.
I know I KNOW she is a victim and I shouldn't blame her but she's also my mother and I'm so tired this shit messed me up, has dried up any money she could have used for leaving my abusive dad, or my college or fucking therapy, when do I get to blame her for being so gullible?
When do I get to label this abuse? Do you know how scary it is to have your mother bring you to "shamans" (theyve all been white ppl btw), to creepy dudes living room meditation circles, to weird seminars where she blames you for "not wanting to get better" when you don't want to
Get in a circle and rub/get rubbed by strangers, to "therapists" who are just randos she pays 300$ to where u meet them in their homes and instead of listen to u all they wanna do is go thru their personalized 12 step visualization ohm crap?
And when you protest or dont wanna do any of it she gets upset and tells you you'll never get better if you don't try things, and keeps insiting until you get so tired and desperate that you cave bc youre depressed and sick and need help so you convince yourself it might work??
My mom loves me & she was desperate & abused by capitalism & the sexism & racism of the American medical industry, as well as my dad broke who she was or could have been.
All she wanted to do was help me but all it did was hurt me & those two facts cant exist in her brain

But this shit scarred me in so many weird ways and idk how to talk about it (in general) and I know (have tried) talking to her about it and it just becomes about her or more conspiracy bullshit.
Closest thing that Ive related to is kids raised in cults, thats what this shit is
