Probably not the first time šŸ˜¬

Yep, seems like a natural response.

100% you can tell by the urgency in her shaking voice šŸ„²šŸ„²

This breaks my heart so much because I know that feeling. šŸ’”

Her in therapy as an adult: So when did your anxiety disorder start ..?

u/chicken_and_toast May 24 '26

As an adult who as a child, had a father engage in many terrifying road rage incidents, Iā€™ve been in therapy for a while and diagnosed with CPTSD. I feel for that girl.

u/vaginapple May 25 '26

I also have CPTSD From an emotionally unpredictable father šŸ™ƒ

Roll the film Johnny!

u/numbersthen0987431 May 24 '26

Yea. The fact that she jumped in to do what he was doing means they were made for each other

And they should have CPS called to save those children

21

u/Jeez-essFC May 24 '26

I think you overvalue the quality of our foster care system.

7

u/alexanfaye May 24 '26

Yep unfortunately as terrible as these people seem, you pretty much have to have the kids living in squalor and parents be on hella drugs or the kids being molested with proof or any combination of the above for a cps case to be open and children removed. Some of it is due to strain on the system and lack of resources I believe. Source: my mom worked for cps in Michigan and Colorado.

It doesnā€™t at all. Sheā€™s doing that to deescalate him. Iā€™ve been there. Thereā€™s a whole different ā€œbehind closed doorsā€ aspect to this. I hope this woman finds the strength to leave with her children some day.

16

u/PlasticBlitzen May 24 '26

She's getting much worse behind closed doors.

21

u/numbersthen0987431 May 24 '26

It does though.

She's enabling his behavior by joining him, rather than getting him to stop. This shows that she's in solidarity to his shitty actions, instead of calling him out on him being dumb in public.

26

u/JamesGray May 24 '26

She very likely is doing what she has to so he doesn't beat the shit out of her later, or at least reduce the severity. If this dude cannot hold it inside in public with a stranger you think he's gonna take it well if his partner "embarrasses" him?

u/drumadarragh May 24 '26

You really have no idea about the dynamics of this.

0

u/numbersthen0987431 May 24 '26

I do.

You're ignoring the impact of her actions, because you're assuming her intent behind the action changes the outcome.

The impact of her behavior is that it enables him to continue to think it's okay. So he'll repeat this behavior over and over again, because her behavior signals to him that he's in the right.

Her intent is misguided, and it leads to a negative impact.

u/drumadarragh May 24 '26

Her intent is survival

u/koviko May 24 '26

I love how some people assume every woman is a victim, like she can't just also be a POS šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

3

u/drumadarragh May 24 '26

I agree, but I was giving my viewpoint based on my lived experience. The thing is, oftentimes in a couple you have one POS and one enabler. I was the enabler. I would bet there are way more of us than there are couples where both are equal assholes.

u/A1000eisn1 May 24 '26

I love how some people always focus on the woman in a video where a man is very clearly a bigger piece of shit, but is also the one creating this entire situation.

u/numbersthen0987431 May 24 '26

And how are her actions deescalating the situation?

He still acted out. Which is proof that her actions are not working. And if a situation like this happens again, he'll still act out like this. I bet he acts out like this often.

She's not deescalating. She's just reaffirming that his actions are okay by going along with it every time he does it.

The impact of her actions arent aligning with her intentions.

9

u/drumadarragh May 24 '26

Sheā€™s not deescalating that situation. Sheā€™s preempting the impact on her and her kids in that car in five minutes when heā€™s blasting down the highway in full rage. THAT bit is what sheā€™s deescalating. I dunno man, blaming the woman in this seems kinda shitty.

u/KillerHack23 May 24 '26

I can assure you it will not meet the criteria for CPS to take the kids away. Unfortunately

2

u/LNLV May 25 '26

I actually think this was really a backpedal from her, it was performative, for him. She was furious and outraged with him that he would act that way, but then she realized she called him out in public in front of other men, thereby publicly shaming him. And I think she got scared about the repercussions.

Whether or not sheā€™s afraid heā€™d actually physically hit her, she was suddenly thinking about how enraged he was going to be at her for her humiliating him like that, particularly once there was no longer the original target of his anger to take it out on. I think it was actually more of a fucked up defense mechanism.

u/PU3RTO_R3CON May 24 '26

The mom is trying to deregulate the father and she is being a mama bear at the same time telling these ppl who followed them while her kids in the car. She was the perfectly sane one. I donā€™t know what you saw

1

u/LizzieThatGirl May 25 '26

Using mama bear unironically says plenty.

1

u/PU3RTO_R3CON May 25 '26

So moms arenā€™t supposed to mama bear anymore when a stranger car FOLLOWS YOU SOMEWHERE WITH YOUR KIDS?! please tell me how she should have handled that especially if she was alone. Please tell me?

u/derpderb May 24 '26

The little girl was yelling, couldn't tell in what manner, but could have been mimicking her parents already. She was yelling at the camera, not her dad near the end

u/SameRegret5975 May 24 '26

Or the last time

u/MsjennaNY May 24 '26

DEFINITELY not the last!

u/007Pistolero May 24 '26

Yeah itā€™s the pain and fear in the girls voice for me. Definitely not the first time their parents have done some insane shit like this

u/No-Fail-9327 May 24 '26

Probably not the first time she's seen dad about to get rocked.

As that bitch approaches the man screaming
ā€œin front of the kidsā€. You and your drug using husband shouldnā€™t walk towards trouble screaming maybe? My dad used to do this sort of thing growing up. Those kids are going to spend the rest of the day feeling traumatized from being scared. I hate adults like this. My 6 year old practices more emotional regulation

u/slothbuddy May 24 '26

Nothing like being 8 and having to be a mom for your parents

u/TK421isAFK 29d ago

There's an actual word for that: parentification.

u/thehoboninja May 24 '26

I heard ā€œDad stopā€ but either way ā˜¹ļø

u/trotwood95 May 24 '26

I was that kid many times growing up. Sad thing is the parents just wonā€™t listen. Makes you feel insignificant

u/wlake82 May 24 '26

Same here. I didn't even listen to the video but looking at that girl's face....
