Asian parents be like : no boyfriend till you get married

Parents be like "we do this 'cause we love you" when in reallity they end up hurting you even worse when adulthood comes by.

Dad: borderline abusive Den: he was the type of dad to wear sunglasses indoors

This made me uncomfortable, the light hearted tone mixed with memories of abuse just kinda sent chills down my spine.

Psychologists say that a parent who gives the silent treatment for especially long periods of time actually emotionally scar their children... Sending love to you girl❤

Dad: No boyfriend Me: ok *Gets a girlfriend* Dad: Surprised Pikachu face

Den's parents : "Please, we're keeping you home cause we love you!" Den : " If you love me let me gooooooo!!!"

This just popped up in my recommends, but I genuinely hope you’re seeing a therapist. You’re parents aren’t “overbearing”. That’s abuse. Neglect and destruction of property in fits of anger to make you feel both imprisoned and insecure in your own environment is abuse. And it’s kinda wild hearing it discussed so nonchalantly. 😳

Imagine your parents being more of a child than their children.

Parents: *Does something abusive* Comment Section: It's *CULTURAL DIFFERENCES*

I’m not sure she is even aware that she got emotionally abused her entire child/teenage/young adulthood. She talks about it in such an innocent tone. It’s honestly really sad. It may not be physical (punching, belts, etc.) but it’s still soulless.

CypherDen : " I don't get out much." Georgie : " 🎶🎵 I can show you the world!🎵🎶" CypherDen : " I can show you my driveway!🎶🎵"

Don't all dads hate their daughter's boyfriends? Lol

Jeez. That's not a healthy family relationship. Textbook definition of creating trust issues with your kids. Don't do what her parents did

ok i feel straight up BAD for this girl. just right now,imagine your own father screaming at you,being extremely angry,you holding a toy, tears rolling down your face,him taking your toy and crushing it,and then when you tell your mom, she will get ,mad at you for not standing up for yourself and not talk to you for 21 days!!! and she is saying they are "tough" parents? MORE LIKE ABUSIVE!!THATS LITTERALLY ABUSE TO SCREAM AT YOU KID AND WRECK YOU STUFF AND TO NOT TALK TO YOUR KID FOR WEEKS!! THATS AS BAD AS NOT GIVING YOUR KID FOOD!!!!

Then do you know if your parents don’t talk to you for a week it’s called abusive parenting

Cypher... I'm only 2 min into the video but I have to say this. Your father didn't break the cycle of abuse. He just emotionally abused you instead of physically abused you. Growing up in fear is not okay and having your possessions destroyed is not discipline. My father only laid his hands on me twice but that doesn't mean he didn't constantly abuse me. I... Just wanted to tell you that you aren't alone and it doesn't mean your dad is a bad person but his behavior towards you, how he didn't handle his anger, that wasn't okay. *Hugs*

I think that what a lot of people (including me) need to understand is that even though you know your parents love you and want to protect you that doesn’t mean they can’t be abusive in some ways.

You know, a bird learns how to fly from their parents. If a parent is unable to teach their child how to survive the outside world, they've failed as parents. Your parents meant well, but their behavior sort of...screwed you over? I'm glad you're keeping it on the chin and that you have a great relationship with your parents now, but if it were me I wouldn't want anything to do with them. X'D

Dads of daughters: “No boyfriends, ever!” Also those same dads when their daughter is still single with no kids by 35: “Planning on starting a family soon?” General vibe that I got from the thumbnail

*Choose your weapon* Parents: Grabs any household item

Honestly this video was hard to get through because the household she grew up in was abusive. It was just abusive in a different way.

silent treatment is classified as emotional abuse, im happy that it didnt affect u and ur good with ur parents

Oh god, this all sounds waaaaaaaay too familiar. My dad used to break things, scream, threaten, insult, and just overall throw tantrums. That stressed my mom out and so she became more emotionally distant and snappy. They were extremely overprotective too, to the point of making me keep a GPS tracker on my phone until 21. It’s okay to love your parents and I’m glad they’ve improved, but please don’t think that behavior was okay, you definitely didn’t deserve it. Trust me, I rationalized it too for a loooong time until I finally said no more and set boundaries. Of course they’re angry about the boundaries, but honestly they’ll get over it. You definitely deserved way better then that, no kid deserves to go through that. Sending good vibes

*Share My Story:* My Dad Hates My Boyfriend *ACTUALLY HAPPENED:* My Parents Hated My Boyfriend But He Changed Everything *CypherDen:* My Dad Hated My Boyfriend *Batman:* _ERROR 404: Parents not Found_

She is the sweeter version of tabbes😂 Edit: yo this has way too many likes XD

Nothing like a quirky animation to get over your childhood abuse.

Parents: *have a child* let's name her Denise! Parents: *has another child* lets name her... Denise?

Den's Dad: Gets angry and breaks her things, won't let her COOK, and won't let her go out, gets pissed at the mention if boys Den's Mom: When she's mad at her daughter, she INGORES HER for weeks at a time, also won't go out. Both: Get mad at her about not knowing how to cook rice AND WON'T TALK TO HER FOR A MONTH bc her dad never let her cook. Den: hAhA FuNnY sToRy AbOuT mY fAmIlY, nOt aBuSiVe At aLl. ThEy LoVe Me AnD iT's *Q U I R K Y* Seriously, her parents are messed up. I know it might be hard for her to tell because she didn't get out enough to know, but her parents are most likely mentally abusive

Other parents: I'm sorry for invading your privacy by using your phone without permission my parents: *WDYM ITS YOUR PHONE I BOUGHT IT AND NOTHING IS YOURS UNTIL YOU TURN 24*

"He hated his father" Interesting

**Reads title** _WOW, that is _*_RELATABLE!_*

Asian parents: you need to be home by 6pm Me: but I end school at 6pm Asian Parents: Make it happen. Wtf?

Den: **Gets a boyfriend** Den's dad: _kaya pinili mo ang kamatayan..._

Looking at the comments, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to see that this is abuse. My family has a similar story that is still going on. my great grandma was severely abused by her mother (one time her mother slammed a car door on her legs because she was taking too long to get out of the car), and the next generation, my great grandma wasn't physically abusive towards my grandma, but it was hard to know for my grandma, if her mom really loved her, because my great grandma was scared to make connections with her children and possibly be a repeat of what happened to her. Cut to when my mom was born, and my grandma didn't have a good mother to base how to raise her children off of, so she was so loose on her kids that she wasn't surprised when some of my uncles came home with the police (they were being too rody most of the time, nothing too serious, but not good either). Now it's me and my mom. My mom wants to be a good mother, and she has a good base, but she can be emotionally abusive. I won't go into details, because it hurts, but I really want to be close to my mom, but she won't even admit that she has a problem and seek help. And you already know that ya girl won't say anything because I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings, or get yelled at. Parents out there: keep yourselves in check. Be 100% brutally honest with yourselves and maybe create a way for your children to call you out on things you're doing wrong without being scared, because, as much as it may hurt now, it will hurt a whole lot more if your children cut you out for good because you never knew how emotionally abusive you were being.

Yo, Cipher.... Your dad only switched from physical to emotional abuse

The best argument to is no boys until your 50 is "good luck seeing your grandkids graduate then"

I remember when I got the silent treatment bc I poured out baking soda out in the fridge but when I asked for chips ahoy cookies she had to answer long story short I got brownies so 😒

i really appreciate your boldness to come out with this. it's really inspiring; thank you.

im amazed how immature adults can be, especially when it comes handling arguments (alot of people have parents like this)

Dad: NO BOYFRIEND!!!!!! Daughter:Gets Girlfriend Dad:What the frick am I sopposed to say

I just discovered this channel yesterday and the stories are very relatable thats the reason i love it

Wow I didn't know there were alot of Filipino animators out there and I also experienced what your dad experienced from his dad it's just so depressing

Filipino mom: YOU'RE GROUNDED "Hours later" Mom:go out and buy me a SOY SAUCE

I really hope your parents aren't still raising any of your siblings. Going so far as to not talk to your child for three weeks is easily considered neglect. You don't ghost your own kid.

All these crazy parents stories makes me think my parents are angels, sure they have some anger issues but they’ve never destroyed the house. If they got angry they’d usually be joking with us by the end of the day lol.

My father could win an award for being the most protective dad, ( but he’s amazing I’m not complaining😊)

Den I think you should read some self help books on abuse. Abuse can come in different shapes and sizes. Not all abuse is the same and in most cases the victim will blame themselves or cover for the abuse and think of it as tough love. I'm not saying your parents are bad, but understanding why and how can help a lot in many ways. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I really like your channel :3

That's... That's straight up abuse and it's kind of scary that your mom told you to keep your boyfriend a secret from your dad.

imagine having the homeless guy that pees on your window as your only friend tho like just having a conversation about how you parents are strict while they try to comfort you

Cypher:One time my mom ignored me for three whole weeks Me:I can’t even ignore my brother for 5 minutes

Dad: "NO BOYFRIEND!!!! NUN, NO NEVER!!!" Me:...So I'm dating this girl.

My dad's childhood was terrifying. He has 6 siblings and his dad when he got mad he would lock him in the basement too until morning. One day my dad was walking to the garden and his father was on the roof and jumped in front of him with a knife. He did that also to my uncles and aunts. Rn he has pills and he's not doing that anymore, thanks for listening my story

Well didn’t your dads ex girlfriend try drown you... so the water is understanding

Den's parents: "no boy friends aloud" My parents: "no crush aloud" BTW I'm a Filipino

I accidentally read the title as “My Dad DATED My Boyfriend”

this is plain child abuse. maybe not physical, but mental abuse.

I have to give respect were it's due. Your dad is an awesome guy doing that being able to kinda sorta restrain himself mad respect

THIS STYLE IS SO CUTEEE I LOVE IT

I just realized that she's married now. 🤔😂👰🤵 Apperenlty, she married her High school crush.

Parents : no boyfriends till you’re 21!!!! Also parents: proceeds to talk about high school love story

Omg I love your art style! Super funny! 🤣

This whole video was a mood

This is just plain abusive, it may not be phyiscal abuse but it MENTAL abusive I’m actually surprised ur not traumatized or anything but hey you’ve grown into a pretty great person. Edit: I’ve seen some people say that’s this is just Asian culture and well I’m Asian too and I personally disagree, I grew up in a kinda abusive home, my dad use to beat my mom, I would get hit a lot even tho I was only 6, IN FACT my dad when he ever got mad WOULD BREAK STUFF IN THE HOUSE, my parents would constantly get into fights AND SCREAM in the house. To me that’s abusive, but now it’s okay everyone’s is chill and cool with each other. I think what Denise’s parent did to her was a bit overboard, like cmon your kid does something wrong u teach them what they did wrong then help then make sure they don’t make that mistake again u don’t IGNORE them for WEEKS, whenever u get MAD u don’t break stuff in the house that’s just wrong. I also think it’s wrong that her parents sheltered her like that, sure the world is scary BUT EVERYTHING IS SCARY u don’t hide from ur fears U FACE THEM AND GET OVER THEM, my parents never did anything like that to me in fact they wanted me to do extra curriculums activities. But that’s just my opinion

That's not "tough love", that's not even close to the word love. That is straight up abuse.

Speaking up for myself every time when I talk to my parents makes me afraid bc they often call it back-talking and they would brush me off and call me overdramatic

this reminds me of that one fake text girl: Mom im pregnant!! mom: WHAT? YOURE SIXTEEN UR GROUNDED girl:MOM YOUR 14 YEARS OLDER THAN ME mom: ...

Take Tabbes story for example. Father abused Dad and Dad goes on breaking stuff of Tabbed. Cards and gameboy etc...

So happy to see you!!!!

Damn you should have called cps

Uhhh, sorry, but this video was just depressing. The happy and comedic visuals didn't win me over, but you sure tried your damndest, Den, so props for that. Other than that, I'm glad that you've grown into a socially functional person.

your parents needs to see a therapist.

CypherDen you're soo relateable 😤🤣✊️

Yup new favorite animator. I got the same situation. Me and my sister were born on the same day 4 years apart.

Me:(sits besides a male who looks like my age and a complete stranger) Dad: "DON'T TOUCH MY CHILD"

Heck I feel really bad for Den.. Her mothers extremely toxic for flat out ignoring her for weeks over literally nothing, and her dads anger issues created an emotional abuse cycle. That wasn't "tough love" or an "*insert nationality* family" that was two parents who needed a kick in the butt and some good old fashioned therapy. It sucks she can't really bring herself to see it, a lot of people can't, I mean why are so many people still in toxic relationships? They just can't bring their self to see that what the person they love is doing something so bad as abuse. I'm glad she's finally more away from that but it's also bad that she doesn't know how to function in life because she was denied a childhood to learn things.

Love your vids

Cyberden: not allowed anywhere Me: so basically prison

Den: "y'know, tough love." Den, I think you mean an abusive household. (Edit: put "semi-abusive" before, but changed it because it's just plain emotional child abuse)

Who's just watching the dog sleeping in the background ? 😂😂😂

The big donut shirt that cypher is wearing is everything

I love your channel

Dad: no boy friends Me, a bisexual: _alright_

. . . They named all 3 of you the same name? im sorry, not tryin to be rood, but WOT?

Did anyone notice when Georgie was asking cypherden out for a date her mom was drowning in the background

Den: wanna talk about this problem so we can possibly solve it? Den’s mom: they see me zoomin.

Your animation is really good. I learn a lot from watching your videos to improve my animation!!!

CypherDen's dad: "I don't wanna be like that bastard I'm supposed to call my dad." Also CypherDen's dad: "You want to go outside and actually have a life? REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"

I love the Phyduck in the background :>

I’m sorry, I know it’s none of my business but, That’s what I call, toxic parents.

Your parents are kids... They should not be parents.. And the fact you and your sister are called the same makes me think they need a Psy

What strict parents think they teach: Good morals. How to be smart. How to not have any kids till your mid 20s. What they actually teach: How to hear when a parent is about to barge into your room. How to fake things like grades. How to be an excellent liar.

Thank God You Guys Relationship is much better

That "Hay Nako" caught me off guard there haha

*Dad: your gonna drown Den: it’s up to my waist Mom: *pretends to drown*

The fact that you couldn't go out, get yelled at that badly, getting your personal belongings destroyed and in general being so constricted it's straight up abuse. I hope you had been seeing a psychologist about this.

Your dad reminds me a little of my father. Insanely overprotective, but also aggressive. He would never hit my mom or my sister or myself, but he had such a bad temper that when he felt he couldn't hold it in, he'd go out somewhere (usually to a bar) to pick a fight with someone. And he usually won. My mom would be up the next morning, trying to get the blood stains out of Dad's white shirts.

I love the intro for beach days also I laughed soooo hard at 0:12 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope you received councilling or therapy for all this, because what you've described is abusive as far as your parents' behavior is concerned. It just makes me want to give you the biggest hug I can.
