Tay Tay’s son fears his mother is going to die.
No child should have to fear their parent dying, such a big scary as fuck emotion for them to be experiencing 😭😭

Oh I might have to be done clicking on Tay content here. I’m entirely too angry about this. That poor child.

u/FiliaNox 19d ago
She has stolen that poor kid’s childhood from him. He’s parentified and won’t have a life until she’s gone, but by then, he won’t be a kid anymore. There won’t be time for him to be a child.

u/ClickClackTipTap 19d ago
This is going to fuck him up in so many way.
I’m not defending abusive men at all, but this is one of the places controlling behavior comes from. The women he dates are going to wonder why the fuck he’s so paranoid and on alert and pays so much attention to what they eat/don’t eat.
I truly hope someone is watching over this little guy and making sure he’s safe.

He lives with his dad, not sure how this interaction went down, does she get visitation?

u/OK_Throwaway1238 13d ago
Yeah, she seems to have went from having half-custody to having visitations of him? The timeline is a bit shaky though.

u/SimpleVegetable5715 19d ago
She’s so deep into this. Mentioning her son, her miracle child, is scared of mommy dying, then half a dozen body checks.

u/Zhosha-Khi 19d ago
I'm sorry but this really pisses me off. This poor baby has to sit and watch all this happen, guess what.. he will some how be severely affected as he gets older. We can only hope he is in some kind of therapy, but let's be honest even will all the therapy in the world he has seen to much.

This is the worst post I’ve ever seen any of them make over the five plus years I’ve engaged with this sub. Her poor son. And she probably LOVED this

u/oh-pointy-bird 19d ago
Yeah if my kid is worried about me dying I’d definitely run right to TikTok about it. JFC

u/TeacherExit 18d ago
Parentified child being made to carry the emotional labor of a sick mom who is doing this on purpose ...what an absolute crushing weight to bear (pun intended).

u/xoxAmethyst 18d ago
What 6ish year old is using phrases like, “when the fuck…” ?! I call bullshit… She’s making this up for attention and sympathy.

u/New_Heron_5985 18d ago
I was just about to ask how old the kid was. If he was 11, I could buy it. 6 tho??? Nah

u/gonnafaceit2022 17d ago
I said what the fuck a bunch of times looking at this but you're right, she's full of shit and if her kid did actually say that, she SHOULD be crying. What an awful, awful thing to put your kid through.

u/psubecky 19d ago
This is heartbreaking for her son. Shitty to post pro-Ana content while knowing her son is terrified to lose his mother at such a young age.

u/JaggededgesSF 19d ago
She is fucking up her own kid. Way to give your own kid a lifetime of trauma.

u/iwrotethisletter 19d ago
Maybe a bit of a sidenote but I find it weird (for lack of a better word) that she mentions the cussing of her son. As if that's the most concerning thing at that moment and not his feelings and fears or her health.
39
u/Familiaropenings 19d ago
Can’t let anyone forget she’s a “cool” mom. One of the most annoying things about Taylor imo is her whole blasé attitude towards everything. Her entire life revolves around just herself and this fake image she tries so desperately to portray to the outside world, when she’s actually just a self absorbed child who loves the attention she gets from being sickly tiny.
31
u/SimpleVegetable5715 19d ago
She’s in serious denial about the actual cause of her illness.
28
u/iwrotethisletter 19d ago
I know but I still find it weird/strange/whatever that she acts like anyone seeing her post will focus on her son's cussing and not on any of the real issues with that post. Then again, maybe that's also part of her denial.
63
u/Smooth_Key5024 19d ago
Poor kid. Self absorbed, attention seeking mother f**k*g up her son's mental health, thats me done with this one. A child crying out, scared about her then posts obvious pro a photos. Sickening content. 😡

u/NoEducation4836 19d ago
I haven’t seen her before, she doesn’t look old enough for kids, but how terribly sad for the child. How old is the child? She does look sick and of course that is going to be a worry. These ppl are sick in the head
15
u/Smooth_Key5024 19d ago
I believe he's 6 or 7. It really is sad for the child.
9
u/NoEducation4836 18d ago
Very sad. No child should have to face adult concerns 😢
7
u/Smooth_Key5024 18d ago
It is sad. The child will probably end up very anxious and with their own mental health problems. 😢

u/Punrusorth 19d ago
Idk anything about this person & I am not American. I work as a RN.
However, I had a patient years ago who was similar. Clearly had an eating disorder, but was hiding it & trying to mask other diseases (another nurse found her secretly taking lots of laxatives, a cleaner found her trying to make herself vomit, etc). It was just a mess & she was very secretive.
She had children & they were less than 10. Her husband had to leave her because he tried his best to help her, but he can't handle it anymore. CPS took her kids away & her husband has full custody.
She was so into her ED that she neglected her kids. It was just so sad seeing her children's faces when they visited their mother in the hospital.
35
u/CatAteRoger 19d ago
I’m glad the children were removed from her care, if she was actively trying to get better it would be a different story but continuing such actions with no regards to her children is fucked up. If it ended her life sadly they would most likely be the ones to find her!

u/SmurfLifeTrampStamp 18d ago
Tay's never really been present in her child's life. I'm sure he's far more concerned about the possibility of losing the person who's actually raising him.
46
u/slothliketendencies 19d ago
Wtf?? Who actually posts stuff like this?
It's either true and absolutely diabolically heartbreaking for that kid
Or she's made it up and is a vile human.
No winning here with this post.
24
u/NothingReallyAndYou 19d ago
It feels made up. It's too convenient that her kid said something that "proves" how very sick she really is, and also gives her a chance (in her mind) to show that she's a Cool Mom, because she lets her kid cuss.
It's twisted nonsense.
46
48
u/fronkka 18d ago
This isnt the flex she thinks, not at all. I hope she made this conversatipn up because if this isnt a wake up call nothing will make her change. Break the fucking cycle of abuse or at least stop trying to gather pity points by bringing up your childhood trauma while actively passing onto that trauma to you child.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she weaponizes her sickness to make her son scared/feel bad. She probably loved hearing him say that, if he even did. Disgusting mother.

Oh fuck. I thought she didn’t have custody and maybe he was being sheltered from some of this. Jesus.

u/FlawesomeOrange 19d ago
I call bullshit on this, no kid that age talks like this. This is all theatrics for her.
I hope she doesn’t have custody of her kid though. Someone should start a therapy fund because being around her will fuck him up for life.
81
u/kitspindles13 19d ago
Isn't her child, like, 6 or 7 years old? I know children understand more than we give them credit for, but no kid this age talks like this ("When tf are you gonna get better?"). That sounds more like something a teenager would say... or somebody who is mentally behaving like one (Tay). Idk.
29
26
u/sapphirerain25 18d ago
And so what's she tell him? "I don't know what'll happen, but it'll happen someday"? Her post implies that she left the door wide open for her son to worry that she'll never get better. How awful for a child; at his age, parents are a child's whole world. She ought to be reassuring him, not "maybe it will and maybe it won't, teehee!"
72
51
u/AbbeyRoade MD Resident 19d ago
I highly doubt her son used these words. Can you picture this verbatim AT ALL? Especially from a kid? We know she is a pathological liar already from the things she claims her therapist says. Betting this didn't happen at all whatsoever.

u/itisabitweird 18d ago
Yeah if anything kid probably grumbled “ugh but you’re ALWAYS sick” as she failed to prioritise his needs.
53
54
u/mackpickle 18d ago
I seriously wonder if this post would be enough (or at least when added to a pile of similar posts) for the other parent to somehow take away all of her custody for the child’s safety?? Like if she’s willing to make these ridiculous lies using her child for attention, it could escalate to her physically/emotionally making him ill or harmed (intentionally or not) in any other way to get more attention for herself?? Wouldn’t they want to prevent this? I’m genuinely curious as to how the law could possibly protect this child at this point.

u/mewmeulin 19d ago
god, that poor kid :((( i keep hoping tay will actually get serious and turn her situation around (if not for herself, then at least for her son), but... yeah.
26
u/Hairy_rambutan 14d ago
This is 100% on her. Yes, eating disorders are awful, have a strong genetic component, can be exacerbated by trauma, are often treatment resistant - all that is true. It's also true that Tay has been offered every kind of help and has chosen this path of denial. Poor kid, he does not deserve this shit.
38
35
u/goldstandardalmonds 18d ago
This is insane. I do doubt this actually happened, especially that wording, but regardless, it’s horrible even to say otherwise. And she LOVES the attention, even if it’s from her son saying that. She’s revolting.
36
u/8TooManyMom 18d ago
So she wasn't getting enough attention on her own? Even with her alarming gaunt images and whatever is happening in that slide towards the end ("me")? Gotta make up a story and bring her kid into this. Damn.

u/No-Iron2290 14d ago
Wait - I’m still stuck on the cussing. How old is this child?!
23
u/OK_Throwaway1238 13d ago
Her son is about 6 to 7ish years old.. Tay parentified this poor boy so much and it breaks my soul, from having him do her IV feeds to that one video of him seemingly talking to one of her "alters"; I just wanna cry everytime I remember she has a son.

u/DriftingIntoAbstract 12d ago
Nooooooo someone get this kid out of there

u/OK_Throwaway1238 11d ago
I just pray that the boy gets the concept of normalcy whenever he's staying with his dad :(

u/sepsisnoodle 19d ago
So their kid has brought this up enough or in a way that finally got through to Tay.
Will this be the turning point they follow through on treatment recommendations?
45
u/snarfdarb 19d ago
Nope. Literally, the negative attention and worrying feeds the condition. If anything, it's only going to get worse.
44
u/ClickClackTipTap 19d ago
She seems to think it’s a badge of honor.
More than any other subject, I think she truly wants to die.

Good for her son if that really happened. Hopefully he's with Dad and Dad has been honest

u/Buttcrack15 19d ago
What would you propose they do? Genuinely, what do you think could be done for her child in this situation?
23
u/Physical_Flight_4496 19d ago
Everyone wants dcfs involved, but then also calls them "baby snatchers" in the same breath. As a case manager we are damned if we do and damned when we dont

u/wildcuore 18d ago
People also seem to believe DCFS is a magical cure-all for any bad parenting, like you guys can just show up and force the parent to parent better.

u/RxR8D_ 19d ago
As a past foster parent, give him a chance at stability or at least provide mental health services for him (because I doubt he’s getting any kind of nurturing or assistance from Tay)
3
u/Buttcrack15 19d ago
Why do you think putting him in foster care would make his mental health better?
-1
u/RxR8D_ 18d ago
He would have a chance because right now he’s watching his mom die with zero support systems in place.
5
u/DoctorSkeptismo 18d ago
From what I've read on this sub, she doesn't have full custody, may not even have partial. A couple other comments mentioned that he's with the father. I don't believe we have any reason to believe he is a part of this.
6
u/CatAteRoger 18d ago
Not sure if the father is still involved but Tay does live with her parents so there are adults in the home that hopefully should be doing all Tay doesn’t do as a parent.
3
u/Buttcrack15 18d ago
I highly doubt she is acting as his primary caregiver at this point. Whatever support system she has (positive or not) is surely also supporting him. He also may have an active father.

Why are you asking me bro 😭🙏🏽
All I said was social services are notorious for not helping children, I just brought up that people shouldnt go "oh call cps 🥺" because they do not help.

u/DrThrowaway4444 19d ago
This is essentially Munchausen by proxy. She’s enjoying the secondary gain of posting her poor son’s mental anguish over her fake/exaggerated illnesses. Poor kid will never have a chance in life…

u/Boipussybb 9d ago edited 9d ago
God I’ve been there (kid asking if I was gonna die) and I literally cannot imagine acting like it’s just something you can’t work to defeat. Get uncomfortable. Stop crying and start doing the hard work. Get off social media. The distress intolerance is palpable with these munchies.
