Traumatically Speaking

Matches, Money, and Mommy Issues


Listen Later

This episode is exactly what it sounds like. Episode 7 is a compilation of short listener stories centered around one shared theme: shitty moms.

From a mother who thought a lit match was an acceptable teaching tool, to one who guilted her kid into funding a Def Leppard concert, to the quiet grief of going no contact, to a mom deep in her ho phase outsourcing childcare via food stamps — these stories are raw, absurd, painful, and somehow still funny in the way only survival stories can be.

There’s no moral of the story and no tidy resolution. Just lived experiences, nervous laughter, and the collective realization that some people should’ve come with a parenting permit.
