Kicking Out Your Grown Son, The Truth About Reparations & Viral Relationship Madness

She put her grown son out after years of verbal abuse. Was she wrong, or had she finally chosen peace?

A.K., Farah and Nana discuss the guilt, expectations and pressure placed on Black mothers. When does protecting your child become accepting behaviour you would tell anyone else to walk away from?

Plus, a woman sets off on a 20-hour drive to confront a man who won’t answer her messages. The Aunties have questions, starting with: what happens when you have to drive home?

We also get into reparations, Britain’s slavery history, racial justice, Hasan Piker’s interview, co-parenting and whether staying together for the children actually helps them. And yes, we’re revisiting the argument that upset the comments: are beards makeup for men?

No guests this week. Just your favourite Aunties, honest opinions and plenty to debate.

Tell us in the comments: can you love your child and still tell them they can’t live with you?
