“Your brother is really good in bed.”
From my female manager at work, “I found my stepson’s homemade porn on the computer. I wonder if he found mine”.
Any ones you’ve been subjected to?
I have one thing that comes to mind. It was uttered by my father and was so traumatic that I cannot bring myself to type it out.
I have far more things that I wish I could un-say. Those I could type out, since the damage has already been done.
When I told my family that I am gay, all hell broke loose and some brutal things were said.
The one that still stands out in my mind after 18 years is an exchange I had with my mom. She was so worried about how she would be seen as a failure as a mother and what an embarrassment I would be to our family.
I said if she had really wanted to be a good mother, she would’ve died during childbirth!
She replied by saying if she had known I’d be gay, she never would’ve had me.
Like I said, that was 18 years ago (I was 20 at the time). Everyone in my family is very accepting now and it’s a non-issue. My mom and step-dad have both begged for forgiveness for their words and actions. I forgave them long before they apologized and asked for it.
I can forgive, but I can’t forget some things.
Damn 
That’s just horrible.
And I felt bad that my mom said it made me sound like a slut when I was pregnant at 17 and refused to get married. I am making a note (or highlighting and underlining my previously-made note) to not say mean things to my kid in the heat of the moment if she ever shocks me with something.
My mother worked nights and my father usually picked her up. I’m hanging out on the stairs and overheard my father rehearsing a speech in which he was asking my mother to wear my older sister’s cheerleading uniform for adult activities. Oh gawd, make it stop.
“She’s jerking me off under the table!” from a guy at my table in a military club, as his girlfriend was doing same.
“Damn, she’s got the ass of a fourteen year old boy.”
That from a guy in grad school I was never quite sure about.
I’m sorry. We did everything we could but there was just too much damage.
from the ER doctor
My mom, when I was dating a young man and everything was going wrong called me a “kanjari” - a whore.
She’s dead and gone now and I’ve mostly forgiven her but I’ll never forget that word nor how it was flung at me.
I’m pretty sure.
Wow - That’s two kinds of disturbing for the price of one.
When my mother told me that had abortions be legal the year I was conceived she never would have had me.
Then after finding out how much it hurt me she told me I was a big baby and I needed to toughen up.
When I was pregnant with my son she told me, ‘You should abort this one and if you really want a baby I’ll find you a better man to get pregnant by’.
Let’s see… here’s one that’s somewhat funny and not too traumatizing for me to type out:
When I learned, many years ago, that I have a tipped uterus, my mom told me that she did too. She then went on to say that she thought this was why it took a while for her to get pregnant, and that what finally worked was doing it doggy style.
And she actually used the words “doggy style”.
It occurs to me I could also have posted this over in the “Things that left you dumbfounded” thread.
My mother probably would have aborted me if she’d had the chance. I can’t get too much up in arms about this, though. She caused me a lot of pain by being born. I’m not saying I’d want to not be born, but if I hadn’t been it’s not like I’d have known about it.
I know it hurts but how she felt when you were conceived has no bearing on you. You are here now. 
It took me a long time to get over it.
Then I found out my grandmother did try to abort her, and I think of that saying about ‘the sins of the parents’ and how both of her parents abandoned her to be raised by her grandparents. And… I make sure that my son knows how much he is loved and wanted.
My mother-in-law describing her sex life after menopause to me.
Can I add a heartwarming one?
I was trying to get Dad up for his radiation treatment (he died from brain cancer about a week and a half ago) and I said something to the effect of, “I don’t care if you don’t like me at the moment, you have to get up.”
He looked me in the eye and said, “Honey, I will never not like you.”
It’s something I will always carry with me, in a good way.
I… was she still using it or had she stopped doing cheerleading? Because it’s just so much worse if she was still a cheerleader instead of having graduated and moved out.
My mother told me this just a couple weeks a ago. She has the odd tendency to treat all people younger than her as exact equals, even her kids and other family members. It really gets to you when you have a parent that doesn’t seem to care any more about you than some random person they just met. I told her that I thought that she never truly wanted to have kids of her won just because of the way she acts towards us.
She got upset and then her defense was that she thought she was infertile and she was 5 months pregnant with me (her first) before she even knew or admitted it to herself. Then she told me that she felt bad for not cutting back on the drinking and recreational drugs during that time but she stopped as soon as the doctor convinced her that she really was pregnant.
I’m sorry. I should have never second-guessed her in the first place.
My mom, the night our 17yo kitty died: “Let’s sing to her.”
My mom can’t sing, never sang to the cat, never sang, period.
Then she started singing to the cat.
It was like she was coming unhinged, which I think she was.
I had to hold her and say, no, no, stop, kitty can’t hear you.
