White Diamond is the Worst Neglectful Mother in Animation - Steven Universe’s Mothers Day
The fact that the Diamonds have made Pink probably never be happy because of how they raised her, is an act that has no justification
White is the mother of Yellow, Blue and Pink, the three littles diamonds are sisters, White is the Superego, Yellow and Blue are Ego and Pink ID
Since Pink Diamond crystallized, and the gem society advanced, the Major Diamonds used to put Pink aside to go on their colonial adventures, since Pink was inexperienced, annoying, small and dangerous for her.
For worse, when Pink asked the Major Diamonds why she couldn’t come to the missions and was abandoned on the mother planet, until her return, Yellow Diamond answered her things like “you’re like a little clown”
In child psychology, calling a child “fool”, “useless” or, in this case, “clown,” is a form of identity murder. They tell her who she is so that she can never find out who she could become.
And White Diamond directly confirmed to poor Pink “As for me, I DO NOT need you, I am of all the colors of light, but it is the part of me that I must repress, you are not your own diamond, and I must control you, because you bring out the worst in each Gem, your Pink aura makes each gem reveal its deepest desires, and that cannot be because they cannot have desires or irrelevant feelings unrelated to their programming and the purpose for which they were created”
This is projection. White Diamond is the one who doesn’t know how to handle individuality, but she tells Pink that she is the “source of the problem.” If you constantly repeat to a child that his simple presence “ruins things” or “brings out the worst in others”, the child does not question adults; he questions himself. Pink ends up believing that she is toxic by nature. That’s not a lesson, it’s a poison for self-esteem
Often, Pink Diamond’s childish curiosity and impulsiveness about the universe that surrounded her, or the world around her came to interrupt the efforts of the Major Diamonds to conquer a planet completely and complete an efficient colony, such as, for example, the time when Pink Diamond begged Blue Diamond to keep on the mother planet some little worms that were not going to survive the invasion, Blue considered it only because of the great affection she had for Pink and the little creatures became an infestation on the mother planet that chased the pearls constantly and could not be caught because of how elusive they were
Which led to locking her for days or weeks in a tower. Instead of using Pink’s curiosity as a teaching opportunity (“Pink, these little worms can’t live here because...”) and setting healthy limits, they opt for physical annulment.
* Isolation
is one of the most harmful forms of child punishment because it teaches the child that, when he makes a mistake, the solution is to disappear and be abandoned.
But the Worst was White Diamond, a bad mother not only for Pink, but an abuser towards her other daughters: well it was Yellow and Blue who feel victims of Pink’s loss but I always knew that Pink was Rose and she was alive, because I “supervised” her (it does not mean the word “spy”) and what I said was confirmed that Pink was not ready to handle the earth, her rebellion. In my opinion it is simply she is running away from home in Homeworld to play the Rebel and I think that in another couple of thousand years she will come back crawling to apologize to me for being such an ungrateful daughter
The reason why Steven needs therapy and why Pink self-hated herself, is because White raising Pink in the way she did have no justification
