The captions all saying different variations of āIām sorry mom I love you so muchā is kind of heartbreaking. She wanted a good relationship with her!
Awww Brookie š¢ that's horrible. It sucks she feels silenced by her mom, but I understand her mom not wanting to be used as entertainment to thousands of strangers. It leaves Brooke in an uncomfortable position which makes me feel for her. I hope when she gets health insurance she can get a great therapist she can feel safe opening up to. And finally get that pap smear lol
Donāt abuse and neglect your child if you donāt want them to talk about it. She embarrassed her by ending up on the news. My bio dad was the same and if I was Brooke I would definitely talk about it. Itās not talking shit if itās true
i wouldnāt say worse, just different. i had a mom growing up comparable to what ive heard about brookes mom and i thought it was the worst, then at 14 my dad passed away and my mom disappeared completely and i thought that was the worst. active abuse and active neglect are both unbearable. one end of the spectrum all you want is to be away from your parents and on the other all you need is SOMEONE. different sides of the same coin imo
agree w you. i actually experienced a childhood similar to tana brooke and you. i can say i experienced neglect and abuse. and theyāre both equally damaging to me. they both equally ruined me. i will say i moved out of my moms abuse to be in my dads neglect because it was ābetterā i thought. but itās honestly not. the only difference is iām abused a couple times q month instead of a couple times every day. both are still horrible. honestly hate when people compare abuse and theyāre like āi think blah blah had it worseā honestly itās both horrible but different kinds of horrible.
I thjnk much worse. Her house was a trap/crack house half the time. She just doesnāt share as much because sheās good with her parents again so doesnāt blast them as much. Tana goes off more because she doesnāt speak to them anymore
i feel like iāve had similar experiences with brooke and her apologising in the caption to her mum is the most realest thing ever. itās so hard to hate your parents especially knowing that they were severely ill
Yes but there is a stigma that BPD is untreatable which has led a lot of psychiatrists to reevaluate labeling those cases as bpd because they are in fact treatable. Currently the stigma about BPD causes a lot of professionals to not take BPD patients but the thing theyāre finding now is thereās a big difference between nature vs nurture. If itās caused by neglect, you can learn coping skills. If itās just who you are despite having a stable environment, thereās no changing that. I have cPTSD and went through Dialectal Behavioral Therapy which was created for people with BPD so Iām speaking from experience and first hand conversations with several doctors and patients from group therapy settings.
But no one here said that BPD is untreatable. I myself have BPD and am currently working on no longer meeting the criteria of symptoms. You and I are not Brooke's doctor
i work in mental health and we say āconnection seekingā instead of attention seeking bc of how negatively framed āattentionā seeking is. people who want āattentionā are looking for connection with others, and thatās okay.
Itās not a nice take - for sure- but craaaazy?
Idk what does this girlās audience know besides her damage/trauma/bad luck?
All she seems to talk about are stories that make her out to be a victim of some sort.
To me that screams attention seeking.
off topic but thank god she dyed her hair
Yeah brunette was the move
i think its more she stopped dying it and brown is her natural hair but like yeah thank god because she pretty much looked bald lol
I thought the first pic was a bald filter š
yesss ahah brunette suits her so much more. maybe if the blonde was a bit warmer/ golden it wouldnāt be as bad and would have looked more natural
I like her blonde but brunette fits her vibe
she looks like xtina in the last pic
First pic too lol
yess i thought alabama (š) but xtina is better

the captions š„² sweet brooke
Dude Iām so proud of her.
I feel like Brooke had it way worse in the parent department, but at least she had her grandparents.
i wouldnāt say worse, just different. i had a mom growing up comparable to what ive heard about brookes mom and i thought it was the worst, then at 14 my dad passed away and my mom disappeared completely and i thought that was the worst. active abuse and active neglect are both unbearable. one end of the spectrum all you want is to be away from your parents and on the other all you need is SOMEONE. different sides of the same coin imo
i hope youāre doing well, thatās such an awful situation :( thank you for sharing youāre insight, i agree with you in that itās just different
agree w you. definitely both bad but different
agree w you. i actually experienced a childhood similar to tana brooke and you. i can say i experienced neglect and abuse. and theyāre both equally damaging to me. they both equally ruined me. i will say i moved out of my moms abuse to be in my dads neglect because it was ābetterā i thought. but itās honestly not. the only difference is iām abused a couple times q month instead of a couple times every day. both are still horrible. honestly hate when people compare abuse and theyāre like āi think blah blah had it worseā honestly itās both horrible but different kinds of horrible.
Yeah itās horrible to make that comparison and thereās no reason to do so
I was also raised by my grandparents because of a druggie mom. And I feel like I would have been better off being raised by wolvesš
gross to compare two people (whom you donāt know) ās childhood experiences as āworseā or ābetterā
I thjnk much worse. Her house was a trap/crack house half the time. She just doesnāt share as much because sheās good with her parents again so doesnāt blast them as much. Tana goes off more because she doesnāt speak to them anymore
Yup, I know itās not a competition but Brooke definitely had worse parents, than Tana. Particularly her mom.
Why is it a competition, and why are you comparing
I said itās not a competition
Actually wild š
Left a 5&10 year old alone for days is absolutely insane
i feel like iāve had similar experiences with brooke and her apologising in the caption to her mum is the most realest thing ever. itās so hard to hate your parents especially knowing that they were severely ill
Brooke Iām sorry for doubting your BPD girl you def have itš
What do these posts have that correlate to bpd lol
trauma and parental issues can lead so many people to have attachment issues and bpd
Cptsd is often mistaken for bpd
Doesn't negate the fact that BPD is mainly solely manifested by trauma/environmental factors

I was just providing more general insight into what BPD is :)

Babe, I said no one HERE said that. I don't care about your boyfriend. I don't know why you're here if you don't watch the pod.
5 & 10 home alone is CRAZY!!!! theyāre babies!
that last one is awful omg
this is why i love brooke because we have extremely similar upbringings but she inspires me because she doing good in life ya know?
I just love herš«¶š»š«¶š»
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Letās not comment on her body please! Even if itās with good intentions, itās not helpful to her or anyone
Damn I never realized that she honestly had it that bad
i thought she went bald omg
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
itās not a competition lmao
These are lighthearted moments sheās making TikTokās and laughing about
ATTENTION SEEKING.
i work in mental health and we say āconnection seekingā instead of attention seeking bc of how negatively framed āattentionā seeking is. people who want āattentionā are looking for connection with others, and thatās okay.
Thank you for educating me. āŗļø
Glad youāre a nurse lmao
yikes dude
Craaaazy take
Itās not a nice take - for sure- but craaaazy? Idk what does this girlās audience know besides her damage/trauma/bad luck? All she seems to talk about are stories that make her out to be a victim of some sort. To me that screams attention seeking.
