In the text, the girl's mother noted that she was aware that she had moved into a new apartment, which she belittled as stupid and small.
The woman said she did not want the girl around and criticised her for making enough money, and yet failing to help her. The text read:
"Hmm I see you got your stupid little apartment. I don't want you back around me. Your making all that money a month and can't help your mother!!!"
In another post, the girl disclosed that her mother had kicked her out of the house at 16.
She further stated that she turned her situation around two months later by moving into a new apartment, buying her first car and was now earning $20,000 (over N29 million) per month.
She was proud to have achieved this by the age of 17.

How teens can heal from toxic parenting - Psychologist
A child and family psychologist, Fatayo Samuel Temitayo, has shared insights on how young people can recover from the effects of toxic parenting following a viral story of the 17-year-old girl who received an insulting message from her mother.
“Toxic parenting leaves deep wounds, especially when rejection or belittling comes from the hands and voices of those who should be sources of love and security,” he said.
He told Legit.ng that healing begins when teenagers understand that a parent’s abusive behavior often stems from the parent’s own pain, not the child’s worth:
“Teenagers can recover through therapy, healthy relationships, and positive emotional boundaries. Channeling energy into education, creativity, and self-growth develops strength and resilience.”
“With time, choosing to forgive, not to excuse the parent, but to live in harmony, turns the pain into power. Every step forward proves that recovery is possible and that our history should not control our destiny.”
