I completely understand the Plaintiff's plight and difficulty when trying to explain his mother's dislike/hate for him. My entire life I've always felt like my mom didn't like me. However, I continued to be around her in hopes things would get better. Right before the pandemic I decided to get a place with her because I wanted to dispel my feelings. That was the worst decision of my life because it only confirmed that she hated me. Sir, do not allow anyone to make you feel bad for being unable to articulate how you feel regarding your mother. Your feelings are valid. The only person you owe ANYTHING to is yourself. ❤️

Judge Mathis needs to realize that some parents do not love their children. It is very possible.

Family counseling is needed but he needs individual counseling first

She’s so guilty, you can see on her facial expressions!!! It’s very annoying when instead of understanding the person’s struggles, people go straight to judgment. Everybody’s situations is different. Judge Mathis has a terrible habit of comparing his life situations with that of people he doesn’t even know.

Sometimes it's hard to explain how you really feel especially when you think others won't understand...the plaintiff has a right to feel how he feels. As a parent, I never want my child to think they are not loved for whatever reason.

I hope the judge realizes everyone’s story isn’t his story, everything that happened to him doesn’t qualify him for knowledge of everything that ever happens to anyone!!

Oh Mathis in his feelings....Whether it's true or not, there are kids that genuinely feel like this. And there are also parents that put on for outsiders, then it's a completely diff story behind closed doors.

Mathis always inserts himself in someone else's pain. Let this Man speak what's in his heart, something disconnected growing up.

Sometimes mothers have no parenting skills and can produce anger within the children by the time they reach adulthood. Unresolved family issues will always cause resentment until they are PROPERLY addressed and often times it will require a mediator to address both sides unbiasedly.

There’s a lot of holes in his story about his mom. Something deeply is troubling him and I’m glad his mom is seeking counseling to get to the bottom of this ✨❤️

The biggest question is where is his father? I bet that's what she hid from him. I feel bad for the son and he needs to get counseling and therapy.

Many are saying JM was wrong for taking the Mom's side. There are many cases where JM has called out parents for their disrespect and disregard of their kids. However, the plaintiff couldn't offer one sound statement that would make his version of events believable or one thing his mom did that rose to the level of hate.

I see why Mathis was confused, cause so was I. He's claiming that his mom hates him, but can't, or won't say why. Mom had to tell the judge he was angry at her and THEN he starts talking about she put him out and he didn't have a birthday party/cake ever and being shot. He's holding a grudge against her for all that. They definitely do need counseling.

She doesn’t like him, yet he visited her weekly and then moved in with her.. makes sense

Judge Mathis projects so much. He felt the way he feels for a reason. It's hard to explain something that stems from childhood sometimes, because you regress to the young person that didn't have the words.

I completely believe and understand what the plaintiff is saying from personal experience. JM acts like an angry drunk but comes down on others for their addictions. His experience of his mother locking him out, not cooking for him, etc....out of tough love/poverty, may have been the case but that's not the case for everyone! He should stop judging and ruling based on his own experience! No words necessary, feel his energy at the end.....Vibes don't lie, and the plaintiff was brushed off once again...

She better be careful around him. Something is missing with him

Mathis was wrong. Yes, the plaintiff has issues but the mother battered him. I believe that she partially pinned him inside the door. It is hurtful to have a mom that doesn't love you.

The end took me out…. HE GONE TURN OFF THE CAMERA… this whole thang was a mess lol

He’s the type of BM that is in the comment sections on social media platforms saying BW ain’t ishhh 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think the plaintiff does have some legitimate issues with his mother but he has a really hard time articulating it

I feel so bad for him. You can just see the child in him feeling shut out & invalidated as usual. 💔

hurts to watch the ending how he just hung up when she was asking him to come visit. i haven’t seen my mom all year. think i’ll go ahead and make the 8 hr drive.

Come on JM, you ask if he had friends and other relatives he could move with instead of mom,you yourself should know when you fall on hard times, people’s “true colors” come out.

Dang, he's cold hearted... She allowed him to live with her, and he had the audacity to sue her. Then turned the camera off while she's confessing her love for him... That's cold

I wish Judge Mathis would remain unbiased at least until he allows the party’s to get the details out. I believe this guy partially. Not sure if his mother hated him but I think she may have not been capable of showing him love the way he wanted or perhaps even needed. I don’t know if suing her was the thing to do though.

She was saying how he was talking in codes with her, and he certainly was trying to with Judge Mathis. He's a little on the weird side, and really comes across as entitled.

Low key he seems miserable just for the sake of being miserable but it’s always somebody else’s fault.

This case brought tears to my eyes. This young man is troubled, and the only thing Judge Mathis can do is ridicule, he can be so callous and rude sometimes. Obviously there is a problem, and it started when this young man was a little boy. He has a problem articulating, but is trying to explain that he never felt loved, appreciated, and cared for by his mother. Regardless, it appears that he still wants a loving mother/son relationship with his mother that he never had. I feel so bad for him, and yes I do believe she assaulted him when he attempted to retrieve his belongings. Children do not choose their parents because some of them would not be chosen. The only thing this mother can do is use him as her personal maid. Parents can ruin a childs self esteem and character. I believe this young man is still wanting his mother's love and care. Judge Mathis got this one dead wrong, and where is the counseling that was requested by the mother in her testimony? I guess the young man wasn't thug enough to receive it from the Judge. SMDH😑

Stop coddling these black men. You could never do enough for them. The plaintiff is an embarrassment. His mother hates him but yet she allowed him to stay with her. Give me a break. She is lucky that he didn't kill her. Son or not, love this man from a far and never allow him back in your house. He is clearly not all there in the head.

Sometimes Mathis can be short sided. Although he was a young man that was troubled, the type of mother she was might not have been a saint. The fact that she’s willing to fight him as a grown man says ALOT about her. And I have experienced a male sibling who had trouble detaching from a mother that abused him. She seems toxic

Some of these men feel that they are entitled to their moms house just because your their mom. She has an attitude in her house. Go to your house and you can get an attitude too.

JM was too hard. Clearly they need help. Therapy. Some parents aren't able to just say "I love you".

I'm not buying her damn tears. She KNOW exactly what this Man is talking about.

This is the type of black men who run around screaming their mothers mistreated them. Grow tf up. He is lying & leaving out the truth. I can tell that she didn't want to tell too much on tv. He really turned off the camera. I need her to understand that he has no problem hurting her. He is a grown man. Something tell me that he will not seek counseling.

How Judge Mathis gonna tell a another man how his mother feel about him… the older Judge Mathis is getting the more he only see things from his view point.

She know more about that shooting than she let on. "He wasn't even living in my. That area".. He feel this way for a reason. Listen to her at 9:16 she was getting ready to say something... I wouldn't doubt if he was shot behind some of her mess. That's why she moved with her mom to get away from the heat. God forgive me please if I am wrong but I am tired of people making their children feel and look crazy when they were the ones who has contributed to their issues. Yeah he grown and he need to stand on his own for sure.. but make sure to tell the whole story.

They both suffered some serious trauma. Both have PTSD. Very sad 😞

I'm disabled as well and I, too, is having issues with my adult son. I simply cut him off for lying continuously. I couldn't take him anymore. He's presently in jail...GOOD!! My son knows I will hurt myself trying to hurt him so he knows not to cross that line. The Plaintiff had a very weak case against his Mother and I agree with JM about the hating issue. No legs to stand on.

She might not have been the most nurturing mother when he was a child. I’m guessing she was a single parent. Sometimes parents are so busy trying to provide that they don’t show warmth to their children. Especially single parents because they are always exhausted. Either way, he has no right to carry on like this in HER house. No excuses!

Speechless after watch this case between mother and son. I'm just glad I had the best relationship a son could possibly have with his mother throughout her life. Heartbreaking to see this.

This is by far, one of the saddest Judge Mathis case’s I’ve ever seen. Also her son is in some serious trouble, his act of cutting the camera off on his Mom at the end of the verdict is at testament to the danger he’s head on with. SMH

22:42 He mad af and looks like he is plotting something. Dude is nuts!!! 😳

What I wouldn’t give to see or speak to my mother again. It’s so hard watching people mistreat their mothers as if they have more than one, he will reap what he sows if he isn’t already doing so. My heart goes out to his mother ❤

while others may not understand him, you cannot invalidate someone’s experience and feelings with their OWN parent…you don’t know what’s going on. coming from personal experience, i understand both. parents can be cruel and kids can be selfish and entitled.

From the thumbnail I thought this was a muslim chick wearing a hijab....then I heard his voice and had to go back and look like wtf (**multitasking at work🙄 **)

This case was a missed opportunity for both sides. Where’s his father? Was there a 2 parent household? Did he have what he needed? Did he have support? Did he develop correctly?? He is extremely hurt and bothered, please stop overlooking these obvious signs!! JM team, please reach out to the plaintiff. It wasn’t easy for mother either, but please someone give this man a listening ear at least!!

Mental illness is real, therapy also works smh.

He just needs to grow up...... NEXT!!!

If she said she hated you that's bad as it could be

The nerve of that man child!!

I hate how he downplays people's feelings smh

Are you kidding me!! About the birthday cake. Maybe it because she was using the money to pay the rent, keeping the lights on!!! Good grief!!!

Uhhhh there’s a such thing as the parent disliking the child even if their parents hell…

I believe he really feel this way she look manipulative

A mental health assessment is essential for both to move forward. The disconnect between them is scary.. 🤔🙄

I’m sure his mother wasn’t perfect but he comes across kind of whiny and pathetic. You’re a grown man get yourself together and stop depending on your mom

What wrong with these men???🤦🏾‍♀️ I feel sorry for the women that’s still interested in them

The ending of this episode shows her true colors… “I love you I have something for you I need you back in my life.” She’s trying to make up for something she did wrong to him and she knows it. Judge Mathis gives terrible rulings/feedback more often than not. That kid looked defeated and outnumbered. He could barely get a word in with the judge yelling over him the entire time.

She just needs to leave him alone, he's not well 😫

I wanted to hear some that recording soooo bad🤣🤣🤣

The problem is where is the father plus both of them need help ASAP!!!

Not "Power wheel chair" 😭

Dude needs to grow up... he needs to rebuild his relationship with his mother and stop being petty

Whew Lawd, Judge Mathis let his emotions get the best of him 😔 I think both cases should've been dismissed... but I'm not a judge so there's that😭

22:26 the death stare is scary. His affect is flat. She shouldn't have him come over to her house. Let him be. I would go as far as advising she get a protective order; until, he seeks counseling. Also, JM had a mother daughter case a while back and the daughter ended up killing her mother. Be safe.

She laid it on thick and Judge Mathis bought it as he always does when it comes to mothers, crackheads, and domestic violence. He forms an opinion right away before even allowing a person the opportunity to explain themselves well. The only thing that young man did was communicate poorly. I believe every word that he said about her. She’s a great actress, I’ll give her that, but I don’t think a money judgment was needed in this case. Counseling is needed for sure.

There is certainly a problem. The Plaintiff’s feelings must be addressed by a professional.

The plaintiff needs mental health services to address his past traumas before the relationship with his mother is addressed. The mother should be careful with her interactions until he is stable.

😂🤦🏾‍♀️....He gone turn off the camera....🤲🏾Lord Blessed 🙏🏾them....smh....

Ngl, when she said "he gon turn off the camera" I hollered 🤣🤣

He couldn't even give a specific reason why he believed that his Mom actually hated him. 🤔😔 Even Judge Mathis kind of pissed off a little bit I guess 🙈 Maybe they're not actually getting along so well or probably the son is kind of confused like what Judge said 😂

Birthday cake? We can’t afford a cake, we ate dinner instead.

Judge Mathis has a soft spot for mothers. It’s very hard for him to accept that every mother isn’t a good mother smh.

I do genuinely believe she doesn’t like him. I really do believe him tbh . As the least favorite son I can tell you that you’ll do whatever it takes to make your parents like you . He visited once a week because he was looking to curry favor , he helped her out before because he’s looking to curry favor. Those a literally the things people do when they are made to feel like they are not liked or hated. I can vividly remember doing all the same things to try to get love from people who should love me anyway and until I stopped and distanced myself that’s when my mom started to listen to me and treat me as more than just a burden. Young man if nobody else believes you about your relationship I do . I don’t care what any of these old ladies who probably made one or more of their children feel that same way.

He should be ashamed

Peace is priceless.

I hate when he’s dismissive to children about their parents. You can’t define how someone feels.

LOL @ him saying her eyebrows will be raised up. Camera man scans to mom and she’s raising her eyebrows!

This is scary. Something deep is going on here. Two sides to every story some truth and some lies on both sides. Mom better watch her back cause he's unpredictable.

Wow, the craziest thing is that mom doesn't see how she has damaged that young man:(... She said he was a good kid, why not talk to his about the little girl verse making him feel like that. Wrong call Mathis, he didn't run his mother down! She was the aggressor, apparently trying to get his items out of the same space which she knew he would take his things and leave. Mathis can't help this family because he's still broken by his painful experience his mother endure from him. This guy is a stand-up dude... And he's hurt by how she treated him as a child. Yes brother, get yourself some help.

He feels that way for a reason

THERE ARE THESE TYPES OF SON'S WHO WILL BLAME MOM FOR EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO WRONG❤️💯TIME TO CUT THE CORD. HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SECRETS, HUMMM COULD BE ACCUSATIONS 🤔

I’m sorry but “He gone turn off the camera!” Killed me 😂 he didn’t have to do her like that and JM ain’t have to dismiss him like that. This was just all bad smh

The plantiffs problem is that he doesn't seem to have to the vocabulary to support a strong statement that his mother hates him. Not one of his stories make since, hers add up.

He must be at least 34 and whining about a birthday cake. He is weird and immature.

He's so uneducated. 🙄 He said twice that his Momma was "so vivid". Basically saying that she was very mad but the word is Livid, not Vivid. 😒🤦

Words matter, he keeps using nonchalant but doesn’t know what it means, his entire case rests on the claim that his mother hates him, but yet begs to move in with her. This is a man that thinks himself smarter than everyone else in the room, and fair enough, given the amount of sympathy he’s swindled out of some people commenting, he’s certainly smarter than his supporters, but not nearly as smart as he needs to be to have anywhere else to live other than his mothers house

Judge Mathis needs to stop comparing his story to others. Just because you have the strength to join school, become a judge, does not mean everyone has that strength. How someone feels re: a parent is how THEY feel. The son and mom needs counseling and communication classes, to help communicate better with each other.

He got a screw loose

Some ppl want drama so bad, they're will to create it for themselves. That's exactly what he seem to do.

We will never know the whole story. Every family has issues. Some more than others, but I hope they do get counseling and start to mend the brokenness.

My mother put me out at 12 in a snowstorm, with gym shoes and a denim jacket. All I did was say “Maybe you shouldn’t have hit my sister [who was 15] so hard.” I don’t feel like I deserved to be put out. In JM mind, I must’ve deserved that. Parents don’t always love their children.

Men take care of yourselves first and foremost. The plantiff is really going through some shit. I can tell by his disposition.

Judge Mathis is dead wrong on this one, it’s terrible when he gets like this. He’s acting like he’s an attorney representing the mother, not the unbiased judge he’s supposed to be smh

HIS MOTHER IS A PHONEY !!!!!! smh PLEASE USE YOUR INTUITION !!!!!! LOOK BEYOND THE DAMN VEIL!!! he clerly has some emotional trauma and HIS MAAAAMAAA is aprt of that cause !!! smh they need counseling and she needs to TELL THE DAMN TRUTH !! ugh the judges ego irritates me at times .. these are real Lives hes dealing with !! smh just sad

Sometimes you just can’t explain why you feel a certain way about a person. It’s the energy they put out. I believe he felt negative energy from his mom all of his life, whether it was her battling her demons or whether she really didn’t like him…what he felt was real to him. I hope they’ve fixed this. Judge Mathis ruling has possibly added more injury to this situation.

He has been traumatized as a kid and wants answers. Mathis is wrong

You know I read some of the comments before I saw the case... and this guy is a piece of work...grow up and stop trying to blame someone for how you making your life to be. Get it together nobody hates you especially his mother she open her door for this fool and he turns around to sue her.. woooow and then the son of a gun turns the camera off. What a JERK.

She was vivid, hitted me and it hurted. Read to your children people. - Don't let that fool back in your house. If you got something for him, mail it.
