Stabbed & Abused By My Own Mother | KARAMO

What you not finna do is slander my name like that. I mean, I was young when I had my kids. I took care of my kids. Yeah, I was not there because I was always on the streets hustling, doing what I had to do.

You took care of kids but you wasn't there.

But guess what? Make up your mind. I saw y'all down and I told y'all.

You took care of kids but you wasn't there.

One thing I do know, being a mother, you cannot change the fact what happened, but you can move forward and make it better.

And I tried that with you.

That's what I tried to do with her.

I tried that with you.

I need to understand why do you think that your daughter has these issues with you? What is, from your perspective?

I don't know what's the problem with Briana.

What did you two stop talking in April?

Oh, for the simple fact that when her and her husband fell out, her marriage, that's not my business. Now she ain't tell y'all the fact that when her and the husband come to me for counseling, like, let me tell you, Karamo, I ain't never been married. So what the hell is I'm counseling y'all for?

You my mama, so when I come to you and ask you for advice, you supposed to give me advice.

Why do you think that your daughter thinks you're not there for her emotionally?

'Cause Briana wanna just be Briana, Briana. When I talk about my kids and speak on my kids, I speak very highly of Briana. Very highly of Briana.

Yet you called DCF on me about my children.

I did.

So why did you call DCF? Why did you call?

It ain't no military secret, the world would know that I did.

You called DCF, and I take care of my children.

You wanna know why? Y'all wanna know why?

Yes.

Okay. One day I looked at my grandson, he hot yellow.

He had a mark on his eye because I had whooped— He had a mark on his eye. He had a mark on his eye because they almost set my apartment on fire. My 3 children were playing with matches. How the hell you get a mark on your eye setting your apartment on fire? See, you need to shut up 'cause you don't live with me. So you need to shut up. So I can finish talking. Like I said, my best friend had left a pack of matches on this dining room table. Me and my husband was in the room asleep.

I just can't do this shit.

And the kid found the pack of matches.

She can't do this shit 'cause she sitting on her ass.

And we smelled the fire.

I'm outta here.

I told my son up. Because you could have killed me, your brother, your sister, all of us in the house. When she seen him, she said his eye was black. His eye wasn't black, he had a mark right here because I had hit him.

So you do know, I don't know if you know my background, my history is I worked in social services. As a social worker, I would do home visits. And if someone told me there was neglect or abuse, that would be a rightful case for anybody to do an investigation and to come to reach out. And I understand that. And even by your own admission, by saying I hit him, I spanked him. I get it, I grew up in a Black home. I understand, I don't agree with that type of stuff no more because I don't do it, but because that's how I was raised, I got spanked and I understood that was generational anger being taken out on me that I didn't wanna keep passing down. And so, but I understand why, I can understand why she called. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm telling you, so there's a part of, 'cause I have two sides to me. I understand a part of me that's like, As this talk show host, it's like, oh yeah, I could, as a mother-daughter, I wanna heal y'all relationship, I get it. But there's another side of me professionally that's like, she made the right move by calling. Do you love the Karamo Show?
