According to a 2022 survey by the Pew Research Center, about one in four married or cohabiting parents feel judged by people they interact with on online groups, with 7% claiming they experience this always or very often.
And the subreddit 'Insane Parents' is probably responsible for a fair share of the pie. However, once you scroll through this internet community, it becomes hard to blame them.
There's no shortage of moms posting their anti-vaxxer rants on Facebook and overprotective dads who want to forbid their kids from dating for as long as they're alive. So someone has to call them out before they convince anyone that such behavior is acceptable, right?

Parents That Make Fun Of The Hobbies Of His Kids Are Trash
A problem that 'Insane Parents' members face is that they are sometimes accused of faking their posts.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the sub is that the stories told rely on screenshots (often text messages between parent and child).
This leads to a strange dynamic where posters not only have to "prove" their experiences, but their struggles are also gamified into small, digestible pieces, the most surprising of which get upvoted.

Speaking to VICE over Reddit messages, the moderators of 'Insane Parents' said the high number of screenshots is simply a consequence of the fact that a lot of communication now takes place via text
"As such, there is more opportunity to display insane parenthood with a screenshot," they explained. "It's the easiest thing to post."

My Parents Did Not Like Me Going Out To Get A Vaccine. Came Back To This
Despite a few negative messages from trolls and the occasional request to prove the screenshots weren't faked, many users think the subreddit is incredibly understanding, with most people helping to validate their feelings.
"Our sub is first and foremost a support sub," the moderators said.
They believe the community is a place where teenagers can come and "know that the abuse they've suffered is not a normal experience".
Who Goes To Disney World Just To Make Their Kid’s Life Miserable
Wtf Is Wrong With People
This is why were afraid to come out to our parents. Ive been closeted for 2 years and have only told my friends and my mom. I dont think my dad will care, but my moms WHOLE family is homophobic. Shes not though. And one of her sisters. Edit: thank you all so much for all your kind words. It really makes me happy. ❤️
Being out to everyone is not a must. Hopefully you can cut those malignant people out of your life at some point. Till then, keep safe and all the best to you.

This parent is very, very sick. Not mentally ill or anything but truly swallowed by hate.
I hope this is the US because killing a child is really looked down on by inmates and he will not do well in prison. I hope he suffers endlessly. Disregarding the disgusting reason, deliberately killing your own child or any child deserves relentless horrors visited upon you.
Nah, he needs to be screaming in terror and humiliation - publicly.

My parents disowned me for being gay. I'm a combat veteran and that means nothing to them. They tried to force me into conversion therapy, but I was 23 and living in Chicago 1500 miles away from them. Though they were only Sunday Catholics, they believed my being gay was the worst thing ever. My mom also believed that abortion was a crime even if the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest or even put the mother's life a risk. Us gay men in our 50s grew up in some unloving households.
that's so terrible that that happened to you, and the fact that it's still happening. I'm so proud that you got through it! If it gets tough remember that there's plenty of other gay people out there who love an support you lol

i dont know what to say, that's awful, why the hate. why the violence. why. his own son. if you cant love a gay kid, dont have kids, and if you already have them, f**k you, you learn how because a dead son is always worse than any other kind of son, except a son in chronic unbearable pain
I've made it extremely clear to my middle school daughters and their friend groups that my home is always a safe haven should any of their parents pull this c**p. These a******s would be less embarrassed if their kids were serial killers. It's pathetic.
The saddest thing is, that "coming out" is still made a thing... Before religion made it's entry, being anything but straight wasn't even an issue, it just was a fact and than people moved on because it wasn't something that needed to be kept a secret. I hope the time returns someday that it doesn't matter anymore, because it's accepted as just an "Oh, okay" and than move on with what they were doing. A parent killing their kid for not being straight, it breaks my heart... Just as all those kids that have to live their life in secret...
Probably has the attitude that he can just go out and make another son. As if his children’s lives don’t matter if they don’t meet his requirements. Sounds like this good for nothing tomcat needs to have his p****r snipped so he can’t make anymore babies.
I'm glad my dad's sister is gay! He's not terrible like some parents are, but he was the one I was most nervous to tell. I came out to my mom and she just said "oh yea me too" so ig I sat there crying to her being to anxious to speak for an hour for nothing 😂

I hope 'dad' rots. What's a f*****g thing to do to your child. So what they're gay. I'd rather be gay than an a''******e.
So america also has honor killings? Who would ever have guessed. :(
I have had friends kicked onto the street, homeless and hurting that we took in because of parents like this.
And now he will be the "gay son" in jail for the rest of his pathetic life.
My parents are supportive, luckily, but this scares me. Too young, he was only 14 and im 13. Harrowing
Hurts to think people may be like this because I'm very openly queer
This right here is why we need the death penalty and to bring back public executions. To show psychos and heartless monsters what will happen to them.
showin' my age but the phrase, "I love my dead gay son!" from Heathers is running through my head.
People like this & those who believe in honor killings should have been neutered before they matured.
I'd rather have no dad than that dad-... Oh wait! I don't have a dad ;D
Thats it, bye, nope im done with peoples bs, straight up horrible people, dunno if there Christain but if they are, their twisted, you do not hate gay or LGBTQ+ you love them as your neighbor, you care and love your children and you do not KILL them over something that small, that is striaght up horrible an should never happen
This is the saddest and most insane so far :( Surprising it's only #13 currently)
Well, now he'll be in prison...where he better not drop the soap...kharma or irony or both?
I don't have enough tears for this. I don't have children. I would love my kid no matter what. For a time, my mom and I thought my brother might be gay. I was sad because he is on the spectrum, it was the 80's, and I didn't want his life to be more difficult than it already was. He's middle aged, has a great job, and very happily married.

OMG So obviously what other people might think is wayyyy more important than your own flesh and blood. May you suffer.

I mean come on. Kids will love however they want to. It may not be the "original" way, but You love who you love.
I'm gonna say this, and don't get mad or downvote but I saw dead, gay, son, and immediately thought of heathers. RIP that kid tho
I'm a queer mom. When my younger son came out at 12 as gay, we had a bit of "Who's on first", because he texted from the bus he needed to talk to us we thought something was wrong. He said "I'm gay" and I said "Ok, AND?!" "And I'm gay." "Beautiful! You're gay. What's WRONG?!" That was it, there was NOTHING wrong, he just wanted to come out! 🤣 Later, when my older one was about 23 he came out as Bi, by saying he had a boyfriend (who is AMAZING!). Parents who don't want Skittles kids shouldn't HAVE kids.
Lord forgive me, for I am about to commit the ultimate sin to this man if I ever find him.
The next time people ask why we need Pride but there's no "Straight Pride": This. This is why. This is why saying "pronouns are stupid" is gross. This is why homophobic jokes "still aren't okay". Because this keeps happening.
If my dad was this way I wouldnt be taking any other b******t, im a furry and i get enough negative comments about that.

Furthermore, even if children get into an argument with a parent, it's not like they immediately mess up their relationship. Most kids — more than 60% — said they usually take a little time and eventually things go back to normal. Some kids said that they make up quickly (28% of younger kids and 18% of older kids.)
It’s great if you can forgive (and be forgiven) quickly and settle things within the family and without the need to search for support on the internet.

Sure, if the kid is *believed*. The default is "but the kid's lying, the adult says so" unless there's clear physical harm. (And clear physical harm where I live is sometimes apparently "bone sticking out"). Basically, nobody should be allowed to parent without first passing psych screenings.

Ironically, we were military dependents so we could go to the infirmary, anytime, with no charges for care or medication.
