Lady’s Video Goes Viral As She Shares How Her Toxic Mom Has Always Rejected Her Christmas Presents Over The Years

It’s Christmas, and everybody in your family is up first thing in the morning since they can hardly wait to see what presents their friends and family got them. Everyone is happy and smiling about their gifts, as well as the way they've sown a bit of joy and warmth into the lives of the individuals they care about the most.

That is how things ought to be, but tragically, it is not always the case. Despite the fact that we assume our parents will be joyful all the time with any gifts we give them, or at least be diplomatic enough to see that the act of giving is priceless regardless of whether the present isn't what they wanted, this isn't how things happen in every case. As Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist, notes, "Toxic relationships can often leave deep emotional scars, especially when they involve family members." Her insights on the dynamics of such relationships can be found on her professional website, drramani.com.

Coach Tijana Daly made a 2-minute TikTok video where she spoke about all the times her mother rejected her Christmas gifts and why. Her clip went viral online because it addressed the subject of toxic parenting and how some parents are not as kind and supportive as we expect them to be.

You’ll get to see the full video as you scroll down and also read about all that happened.

In a TikTok video, Tijana talks about pretty much every one of the gifts her narcissistic mother has given back.

Someone who is toxic can belittle your achievements because they feel envious or insecure, hurt their kids through their words or actions (whether it's purposely said or because they don't care about the outcomes of their actions), refuse to apologize for their behavior, attempt to control you, and lack empathy.

As a child of a narcissist...

In the TikTok video, the coach points out all the times her mother was disappointed by Tijana's holiday presents and was very open about that fact. From the skates that her mother abhorred and the cream that she left under the Christmas tree for two entire weeks, to the gift cards and wallet that couldn't satisfy the mother's standards.

And here's her response

The turn of events

We’re always advised to keep away from toxic people and environments, but what happens when the toxic person is your parent? A toxic person overreacts when someone has a different opinion than theirs and has extreme expectations of their kids.

They’re not hesitant to control others to get what they need, and they exceed any limits that you have set for them. Some people have these kinds of parents, and it’s so sad!
