This storytime is one that takes a journey of emotion through the story of an incredibly brave and resilient young woman. Sydney's father was always sweet and kind to her, but her mother was always angry and hurtful to her - a mean Mom - and her Mom's angry words, the verbal abuse, sunk in and made her feel bad about herself. Telling her daughter that was not good enough, that she regrets the day she was born and turning common mistakes all children make growing up into horrible and traumatic experiences, Sydneys Mom was a parent bully and had no idea what she was doing to her daughter. It's hard to image a Mothers Day in Sydney' house. Bad parenting can negatively effect relationships and mental health. Hard parents, in her case, a mean mom, laying on a full on attack to her self-esteem, took Sydney to a very dark place. This is NOT a case of tough love. It lead to depression, sadness, fear and anxiety. With her self-esteem damaged, she began hurting herself. Her bad Mom's actions, led Sydney to physically cause pain to herself as punishment for being the terrible, disappointment of a child her mean Mom told her she was everyday. A bullying parent is the last thing that any child would want to deal with. Victim is the textbook definition for Sydney in her abusive home. But in the end, with professional therapy, counseling, help and support from professionals, friends and family, she found that her true self was not the girl her abusive mean Mother made her feel like. But she was a strong, proud young woman who could overcome anything! Watch Abuse Story - https://youtu.be/SiKQDu2cNvU What's your story? storybooth wants to hear it!
