its not enough to just say "im sorry" for something like this and that seems to be the extent of what Mo has done ...from what I can hear from her own words.
she says "i apologized for ALL of it" which is great.
but he said something so powerful in this video:
"standing in your truth doesn't make you noble."
he is a very smart and very articulate man. he's literally saying that simply admitting your wrongs doesn't give you a gold star of some sort, and a free pass, and everything's better now cuz you admit you did wrong.
not for something as huge as parenthood, and how it can affect your children.
my father made some mistakes in the past.
but he's shown me that saying "my bad" isn't ALL that he feels he has to do. he makes an effort to be there, to come to me. to approach me, to extend as many branches as he can to me, as often as he can.
there's a certain recognition on his part that even though I am an adult now, i am still his CHILD. and thats how he handles me. like i am his child. not like we're on some sort of equal playing field , where one side is waiting for the other to make the first move.
this is what this handsome young man wants from his parent. not just "sorry bout that lol but call me whenever you ready to move forward <3 im here when u ready"
I'm not sure she was the monster he thinks she was. She was absent a lot because she was touring and making TV shows and films. In return he never had to worry about the material things. He doesn't say she was abusive just that she was not there as much as he needed her.
He definitely has a point but I know a lot of people who have grievances about their parents. It's difficult job to get right especially for a young mom with special needs who was sexually molested. I can tell he is smarter than her and maybe should afford her some grace that she did the best she was able to. What about the daddy?
the thing I think he's having a hard time with is that Mo'nique is actually aware of everything she did wrong
she's not oblivious.
so the fact that she can admit her wrongdoing...and if she wasn't smart and wise enough before to clock her own tea, she is able to now...but yet he doesn't feel a genuine interest on her part to put in work
he cant be lying because every time i see mo'nique talk about this sitaution, she's always basically saying "I apologized, and now I pray to the universe."

there's never really a mention of actual work she puts in or any initiative she's taken to make things right.
it's almost as if she mentions these apologies to simply add more brownie points to her personal chalkboard. and this triggers her son.
and this is not to demonize Mo'nique but this entire thing with her son def gives credence to the idea that she's a bit of a narc.
