What happens when the only parent you had… was the one who broke you? In this raw, soul-cutting episode of The Velvet Void, we confront the taboo truth of abusive single mothers—specifically the sons who were expected to protect, absorb, and survive them.

This is about the mother who wasn’t nurturing.

The one who screamed, hit, controlled.

The one who blamed her son for the life she didn’t get to live.

And the boy who never had permission to say, “My mother hurt me.”

We unravel the signs, the psychological impact, the generational echo—and most importantly, where to go from here. If you’ve ever carried a secret scar from the woman who was supposed to love you first… this episode is for you.
