My Mother’s Love Went Viral—and Destroyed Me

She was the internet’s favorite mom—and my personal nightmare. In the glow of her viral breakfast videos, my life was staged for strangers, every emotion twisted for likes, every private moment a new performance. Behind the camera, I was trapped in a cage of love so tight I could barely breathe. My father fled, my classmates turned away, and my secret crush became Mom’s next headline. When her obsession with online validation ruined my last hope for normalcy, I was forced to choose: keep playing her perfect daughter, or risk everything for freedom. But even after I broke away, her betrayal followed me across the internet, and the world had to decide who to believe. Can I reclaim my story before her version goes viral forever?
