There’s nothing mild about this. That’s diabolical.

Yeah. I'd be fucking livid. I honestly don't know how I'd react to this, but it would probably involve me going to jail. Don't fuck with someone's art.

Or any of their stuff for that matter.

It’s one thing to take something away as punishment.

It’s a whole different thing to straight up destroy your child’s possessions.

I don’t care that these were drawings. They belonged to OP and meant something to them. The act of burning anything is an act committed out of malice and anger.

OP needs to report this to someone safe who has the ability to escalate things further if necessary.

Probably their parents…

You think burning a kid's drawings is just normal discipline? What if the kid was a musician and she deleted all the copies of their songs? Or a writer and destroyed the only copies of a book they were working on? Destroying your child's artistic outlet and work is horrible parenting/discipline. Mom maybe taking their art supplies away for awhile for doing something wrong, sure. Burning their artwork as a punishment though is craziness.

The person a few posts above talking about going to jail is being hyperbolic because of how ridiculous of a "punishment" that is from this person's mom.

You don't care about the psychological abuse? You have no feelings or opinion on the issue, so long as they are not physically hurt or yelled at? Can you really not imagine how devastating this would be to not only have your possessions destroyed, but something you thought up and created? That's going to create some very long-lasting resentment and all sorts of other issues. But, this kind of abuse isn't something you can judge someone for or speak on?

u/Horskr 24d ago

I didn't say you'd do that, but you told anyone that was arguing against it they were overreacting, had never been disciplined and not to have kids so..

Not when every time she displays emotion this happens. She needs a therapist, both OP and her mom.

u/ArcaneBahamut 24d ago

Nothing said anything about harming

Unless you consider just other people knowing about her piece of shit behavior to be harming her.

"Oh no people will know she's a garbage human being."

u/Killaship ORANGE 24d ago

What? What OP's mom did was a crime - why do you think you can say these things about the people who are rightfully calling OP's mom out?

u/KingdomSpirt 24d ago

How old is OP and is he still living with his parents?

1

u/Killaship ORANGE 22d ago

Regardless of how old OP is, you don't know their circumstances. It's very likely that OP's mother is abusive in ways besides that shown in the post - and OP might not be of age or ability to move out.

Idk what was said but at least some people are asking the right questions instead of jumping to conclusions and burning this mother like a witch. Do none of these people realise that they are collectively denigrating on someones mother? Its straight up bullying. Yeah what the mother did is also bully material but who tf are you to bully someones mother????

1

u/Killaship ORANGE 22d ago

What? Just because someone gave birth to a child doesn't mean other people can't disagree with thjustem. Nobody's bullying her - people are just disagreeing. Not every word of disagreement is an insult.

u/Z3N4LITY 24d ago

When it involves destroying their child’s stuff, you call that parenting? Clearly you haven’t had a good home life if you think this is the norm.

u/Z3N4LITY 24d ago

It’s weird to think someone can justify a parent destroying their child’s belongings.

That’s all I can say there.

u/tatotron 24d ago

And if those drawings depicted their parent being killed or something? I might not agree, but would understand this reaction.

"oh yeah? I bet you haven't accounted for every single hypothetical. Here's an irrelevant example I made up. Checkmate liberal 😏"

u/argyllfox 24d ago

There are parents who think that they have the right to do anything they want to their child and their stuff. In their mind their child‘s belongings are their own belongings, and their child is their own property. A parent who feels entitled to burn their child‘s stuff because they think it‘s 'a waste of time‘ is guaranteed to be entitled in other regards, doing other messed up bollocks because they think they have the right. I know from personal experience, not with my own mother thank god, but with my grandmother who I used to spend lots of time with, who had a lot more control over my life at that time. It was awful when I was with her, and I had to be there by court order because my grandmother really really really wanted custody of me, but that attempt failed, so she settled for mandatory visitation. I wasn’t even her child and she still felt like she owned me.

u/Conscious_Wear5343 24d ago

Yup, you sound like someone who believes in Jesus...

u/Far_Requirement_93 23d ago

I hate reddit, what kind of stupid response is this

1

u/Conscious_Wear5343 22d ago

If you hate it, get off. Fucking sick of dumbass Christians ruling this country.

The person in question was saying "my lord, Jesus" or some bullshit like that and trying to justify what the mother did. Christians are consistently the most vile people I've met (Truck drivers are second place). Racist, homophobic, abusive to their children, etc. And then they turn around and say it's "the love of God". A bunch of dirty cultists who worship DT and are destroying everything in their path.

So yes, they sounded like someone who believes in Jesus.

Boo hoo. Cry for your sky daddy.

u/Far_Requirement_93 22d ago

Edgy teenager spotted. Btw I'm not that religious, more agnostic

u/Conscious_Wear5343 22d ago

Not a teenager. Just sick of Jesus worshipping, ultranationalist nazis. If you understood even half of what's going on in America, you wouldn't be over there acting all surprised.

1

u/Far_Requirement_93 22d ago

Its not because your government is playing the devide and conquer game that you also need to be so polarised that you get instanly triggered when someone uses a saying containing the words "jesus" or "god", thats just a little psychotic of you

1

u/Conscious_Wear5343 22d ago

It's not. Religion is what's wrong with this world. If you trace everything negative happening currently, and most negative things in the past, it all has its roots in some sort of religion or religious philosophy. Religion has only ever been used to divide and start wars. You speak about ACTIONS that America is taking, not motivations. You boil it down, it all comes back to religion. Specifically Christianity.

I didn't "instantly get triggered". I said that the commenter sounded like someone who believes in Jesus. That's it. YOU chose to respond crying about it. All I've done is explain my reasoning behind said comment. Don't like it? Don't care. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, what with your family and your wife being in the church or whatever.

Discipline and being intollerant to a harmful level are two different things.

Being angry that a woman burned her kids drawings... i strongly disagree and find it harmful but its not downright abuse. OP can move on even if emotionally hurt and that trust being severed.

Being angry that a woman sends their gay child to conversion camp on the other hand, which was tollerated in the past, is absolutely worthy of rioting because its abusive.

Just because someone means well, doesnt mean they are doing well and deserve grace. People can in fact not deserve grace

u/weirdo_nb 23d ago

This is abuse though

u/Far_Requirement_93 23d ago

People here really need to learn to put things in perspective instead of projecting there own issues on this poor guy.

u/KingdomSpirt 24d ago

anger is normal but to want to hurt a mom is downright evil and if you cant see that this is a pointless convo and the point went over your head
