Sort of a cross-post from the "completionist is a scammer" thread. This guy has been doing videos going over legal takes on him and using this thread for reference.
Surmises in this video that he may actually have hated his mother.
God, this is tragic. That is how brain degrading illnesses tend to work.
I forgot to quote it but to the person who said "She said she wanted a divorce and had her committed", it likely wasn't that kind of narcissism that caused him to do it - the behavior she exhibited was genuinely weird enough and she likely had more changes in her than Jirad detailed in his post. His dad is shit but this was actually reasonable.
Because in order to hate someone, you have to give a damn about who they are as people.
It was all clinical, just like how his parents treated him.
There's nothing here indicating he saw her as a son sees a mother, but he talks like he was employed in some family business and he respected his mother's ability to work within that business.
Is anyone else seeing this?
I'm thinking that when his mom's mind went, she used him emotionally in addition to the regular monotony of childcare she did. Nine months is an eternity when you're that age, and mom probably gripped on him and likely didn't treat him as a son as much as she did a crutch and a tool. He was her only family, her only ticket, and likely treated him in a weird emotional way, especially with her mind starting to leech away.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mix of emotional neglect (his dad and most of his mom's life) and then emotional dependency (from when his mom's mind started to go until she passed). He doesn't talk as much at how she acted after her diagnosis, and I would not be surprised if dad put the children in charge of caring for her when he was out working. And when you have dementia, your brain changes, she likely treated them more like friend or caretakers than children.
His parents never were close emotionally, and when they were, they put him through terrible emotional labor and additional neglect. He seemed to be an object to them, and once the memory starts going, she might have become an object to him: the woman he once knew was gone. He didn't care for her as much, at some point he might have had the mixed love/hate and wanting love when he was younger, then he got the 9 months of hell treatment going on. He likely couldn't process his hate from that time and she couldn't make it up to him due to her diagnosis (and likely wouldn't even if she didn't have it - her kids seemed to be a social status goal dude to her 9 to 5 tiger mom approach). Not only did he not get a chance to call her out or make her confront and apologize to his hurt 9-10 year old self, he'd get chastised about it if he fuckin' bullied a woman with dementia(and his elders if that's a thing in their culture, forgot). No apology, no care for little Jirad in the big adult Jirad. He was mincemeat, man.
Jirad likely had some resentment and some care for her, since you're supposed to do that at that age and he was just a child, but when she died she wasn't even the same person he knew growing up, or even at the 9 months of hell he was in. She was at least 3 different people: helicopter mom who drove him and his siblings to achieve things for her, dependent crazy emotional tiger mom who had no grip on her formerly stoic nature and did things with bad jugement and on a whim, and advanced dementia patient mom who, well, dementia patients are hard to interact with. The charity could have been seen by him as a way of getting even. Paying both for his pain and his father's pain (because he craves his approval, not because he cares about dad). Scamming is natural, that's what the world taught me, so I'm going to do it and take advantage of it so I get my cut and my peace.
I think he was employed in his family as you said. They seem to see the kids as achievements and a marker of your own success. Bragging about how good your kid did is family honor, and fucking shows that bitch Sara for bragging about her 2 kids being great all the time. MY family has FIVE kids we can all feed AND they're all wildly successful!
What an awful way to live. Shoutouts to all the kids who got away from that.
If you can afford five therapists, you can afford five tutors.
Or 5 more video game delux editions. Or fifteen more figurines. You're not thinking big enough, who needs to be smarter when you can be collecting?
The amount of times this year I've seen people ask "Why have so many people grown this emotional attachment to (Youtuber/Product)"
I'll add that the pandemic did a number on people's psychs. Can't go outside? Watch this nice youtuber all day with people to feel semblance of human contact. People are still having trouble integrating back to normal functions.
Otoya, are you english second language or just a retard?
He has an entire debate thread dedicated to him declaring everything in the Bible happened as it was written, he talks to God & Jesus, and no he DOESN'T believe in schizophrenia, thank you very much.
Poor guy needs a pink triangle to let people know his head ain't screwed on proper.
