“In the Black community, we love to say YOU ONLY GET ONE MAMA, but at what cost? If your mom is toxic, when do you say enough is enough? If she’s the reason for your TRAUMA, then what? If you’ve tried over and over to have a respectful and healthy relationship with her, and she STILL keeps up drama, at what point do you stop allowing her to negatively disrupt your life and steal your peace? I encourage Black families to stop making excuses for abuse in any form. A mother shouldn’t be your source of dysfunction, pain, hurt, and disappointment. She should be your source of love, support, encouragement, and guidance. Let’s NOT normalize her foul behavior. You and your mental health matters!” — Stephanie Lahart
