In this emotionally charged YouTube short, Speaker A shares a painful experience of telling their mother about being violated, only to receive a dismissive reaction—her lighting a cigarette and saying "Okay" without offering support. Speaker B, responding as a parent, reveals that the conversation is triggering for them because they were molested as a youth. They express deep personal hurt, emphasize that they cannot provide the needed help due to unresolved trauma, and strongly advise seeking professional therapy. The clip highlights themes of family conflict, intergenerational trauma, the inadequacy of informal support, and the importance of professional mental‑health resources.

My mama listens, but she don't hear.
Okay, gimme an example.
Please. Like, I told her like, "Hey mom, I got violated," and stuff like that.
Mm-hmm. In January. I'm so sorry.
And she lit a cigarette and was like, "Okay." And then she didn't say nothing. And then I got up and I walked off. What was going through your mind in that moment?
I was molested when I was younger. This is a triggering fucking conversation for me. One thing I will not do is sit here and be ridiculed by my own child who knows I will go to the ends of the earth for you. You know it.
Mama, I didn't say no.
Listen, you didn't say your piece. Now listen to me. And the reasons why I didn't say nothing, because you know this already, if you felt like you needed more help, I'm not the one to help you with it 'cause I ain't done with my own healing. And you know this. This is not something I need from you. So if you needed that healing, what you shoulda did was got yourself some doggone therapy. Professional help or reached out to me and said, I need professional help. So how the hell am I supposed to help you if I can't help myself?
