“I’m Happy My Mom Died” – Woman’s Viral Post Sparks Sh0cking Reactions Online
Special_Inc Jul 19, 2025 1:31 PM A young woman’s post on social media saying she’s “happy” her mother died has gone viral, sparking intense reactions. The woman explained her mother was extremely abusive emotionally and physically during her upbringing. She said, “I can finally breathe. For years I lived under constant fear and manipulation. Her passing gave me a kind of freedom I never thought I’d feel. I’m not sorry. I’m relieved.”
The thread drew mixed reactions. Some empathized with her trauma, acknowledging not all parental relationships are healthy. Others found the public statement about a parent’s death morally wrong. Several users shared similar sentiments about abusive parents. “I don’t feel bad. My dad is a monster. When he dies, I’ll finally know peace,” one user wrote.
Mental health professionals urged sensitivity. Clinical psychologist Lerato Mokwena noted unresolved trauma can lead to relief when an abuser dies. Others warned public statements could promote hatred. The thread highlights not all families are safe spaces and not all children grieve the same way. The question remains if her reason was justifiable—a reclaiming of freedom for some, a moral line crossed for others.
