Some people do have actual alter egos but this woman does not. You cannot just change whenever you want, it is a thing caused by a negative or emotional thing happening to the person. I don’t have it myself but I have done numerous research as I am so interested in it. Sometimes, some people may be able to communicate with their alter egos if they are at the front. Not as much as this mum does though! Just a thought, if she does has it, then I’m sorry but my research disagrees!
Cat M I think she has been drinking bong water. Alter ego?? Hmmmm, an excuse to open her mouth without responsibility for hurting her daughter. Nasty!!

@@samaryechic people with DID can’t switch their Alters on command she is clearly faking it, she’s just using an Alter ego as an Excuse to get away with being rude. She doesn’t have DID
@@sunsetdots19 I'm not disagreeing, she DOESN'T have it. But I also don't think she's referencing a DID alter, but an alter ego like I mentioned in another comment. All in all, she's pretending so that her bad behaviour is excused. Neither is ok.
Someone else said she looked like a pill popper. I can believe it. She didn't put any effort into her appearance, looked like she'd just rolled out of bed and threw on the clothes from the day before.
It just a way to manipulate others. There is no “other personality “ it is all her. She says it it’s someone else so she can be as nasty and controlling as she wants without consequence.
@Pine Trees she doesnt. People with personality disorders have no control over when they switch. "Towanda" is a sad excuse to be toxic to het daughter and anyone around her.
That poor girl! It’s her special day, not her moms. She needs to his hand be supportive. When my daughter got married she made me promise to tell her honestly if something was unflattering. I didn’t have to do that- she already knew what looked good and what didn’t. When she put on the dress that she ultimately chose, I teared up. She saw my face before she got a good look at herself and said “It’s that good?” I just shrugged and said see for yourself. She turned around and loved it. It was a special moment.
I see your point but you can be a lot more polite about it than comparing her to a sausage. A bride doesn't need that extra negativity, especially one with already low self esteem!
The bride: “Towanda and I disagree on just about everything!” My brain instantly: You mean “My mom and I”, stop enabling her toxicity and abusive tendencies that she blames on some fake personality to brush off the abuse like it isn’t her fault.
@@kesiasajji7345 I do think that if someone has DID it should be taken seriously. I know I cannot speak to the truth of this situation, but I know there are certain mothers out there who make life a living hell for their children. The mother may actually have mental challenges or disabilities that caused this to happen, but she may also just be using this as an excuse to treat her daughter poorly. Many mothers or other family members choose to treat those in their family badly for various reasons. So it isn’t unheard of; we just don’t really know the nature of the relationship and we aren’t perfectly aware of the facts of the situation.
@@hayleephillips7409 from what I've read and seen online, people with DID can't switch their personalities like that on their own will. You can't threaten to do something that is not in your control. But she's clearly threatening her daughter to do what she wants in the name of "Towanda"...
The moment she said her and Towanda disagree on everything, I immediately thought that Towanda was just the mom's excuse to "stay friends" with her daughter while having "someone else" take thd blame. If she can threaten verbal abuse and say its not her, she probably feels like she has the upperhand. I feel so bad for the daughter because she was probably raised tothink that kind of behavior was normal and thats why she doesnt question it.
Who gives a flower what that mom thinks? Her mom just invented that other personality to explain her cruelty towards people. She is just an ugly person, no need to bring out that T friend of hers
god bless the editors i can’t stop laughing at this. like the way they inverted her to look like the alter ego is a different person and the evil laughs has me dying
No wonder the bride is overweight. She had to have something to cling to with this mother in her life. I sinscerely hope she will go to live somewhere else with her husband, somewhere far away from the mother and be happy at last.
I HAD ONE JUST LIKE HER. NEVER HEARD AN ENCOURAGING WORD FROM HER. IF I WAS INSECURE SHE WOULD COMMENT CONSTANTLY ON MY INSECURITIES, N FEED THEM ALL. THEN, ONE DAY SHE DIED. AND I LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER... 😏
That poor bride has a nightmare for a mother. All the Mom did was laugh at her and pretend that she had this alter personality. I'm glad that the bride stood her ground.
This mother is pure evil OUT OF SPITE. She should have left her mother home. She would have had a better experience picking dresses out. The mother is childish and making fun of mental health, which is no joke.
Amanda Fogg TLC tells the guests who to bring, an unknown thing about the show, they tell you who you can and can’t bring on the show (for the most drama)
[ Please read the replies first before replying, thank you.] “ Don't make me bring out Towanda” Instantly proved that the alter ego is a fake excuse to be toxic. Because people with personality disorders/alters can't control the switches. *I rest my case.*
I agree, however it actually is common for someone who suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) to be able to “summon” their alters. Usually this only happens when they are in a stressful situation though. However, like I said before, I do agree with you because that is definitely unusual behavior if she really does have a personality disorder.
@@khaotics3663 , Of course, I know about that! Triggers! Something as simple as a person speaking ill of them can bring back some bad memories, causing an episode of DID. Or positive triggers when an alter fronts because they heard the music they like to play! Which are both still bad for you because you shouldn't force yourself to dissociate, it can cause headaches, memory loss and such. So It wouldn't be just switching alters like a light switch as she makes it seem. Thanks for being so nice about your reply! :)
That Towanda crap is just a bunch of bull. She uses her "alto ego" to bully her daughter into getting what she wants and it just pisses me off. She should not be able to act like that towards her own daughter. They shouldn't have to add stuff to make the parents like the dress. If this were to happen to me, I would just say screw you. This is my choice. You don't get to body-shame me and bully me into getting what YOU want.
When you grow up with that type of abuse, you hunker down and take the hits to survive until the next episode. My honey is pulling me out of that type of situation. I didn't even see it clearly until he started pointing it out to me and insisting I put distance between my family and myself.
No offence; I don’t really care who the family member is, if the bride likes it, wear it. The amount of influence from family members is kind of ridiculous
they need to start just ignoring the "alter ego". don't give her a reaction, treat her like she's exactly the same when "towanda" is out. if it doesn't accomplish its goal she'll stop doing it.
After watching several dozens of these videos, I can't believe how many supposedly adult women can't come up with their own decision of what they like. We have three daughters and when they announced their engagements, we gave them a cash gift and told them the choices were theirs.
I don’t get why the rest of the party validates “Towanda” as if the mom has DID. Like no, she’s just using this “character” as an excuse to be annoying. She’s acting like a child. If she did have DID that would be different but clearly that’s not what’s happening
@@sagastjerneklev I wouldn't go that far, loads of people have alter egos look at drag queens. Most people have 2 sides to them like when your angry or when your calm people act very differently.
@@SH-fz9dy Dissociative Identity Disorder is where you have multiple separate personalities, but cannot often control when you 'switch.' I can absolutely see how this is offensive to someone with this illness.
It's really disgusting that they gave her bitchy side a name. It's not a different person, it's you not wanting to let go of the control you have on your daughter.
I think they did it to make her look like a joke, which she is as well as to hopefully embarrase the crap out of her for her behavior, like honestly she's acting like a 5 year old
True, but she could have blended in some kindness with her honesty. " That IS a pretty dress, but I think we need to look at a variety of styles as I don't think that this particular dress is the best one for you" . I can't imagine laughing at a bride to be when she is trying on dresses. 😒😣
If that was my mother, a) I would of left her at home, b) I would just ignore her, and c) if she don't like it, don't tell her what day the wedding is!
in these kinds of mental disorders, alter egos are actually different people with a different name, personality, and style. But I'm 100% sure Towanda is fake anyways. People can't control their alter egos.
I get so sick of all these mother’s who expect the daughter to buy a dress they want instead of what the daughter wants. Sheesh, grow up already it’s NOT your wedding dress.
My mom did that to me, picked my dress for my wedding. 😑😑 Horrible dress!! I will never forget. It's not love what this lady did to her daughter, she's abusive
The clothes the bride's mom was wearing is beyond revolting. If my mother ever dressed like that ( thank God she doesn't), I wouldn't even have her present while I'm picking my wedding gown.
It’s more about being jealous about seeing the daughter beautiful and confident, some mothers just gotta take them down a few pegs to make themselves feel better about being old

Do y’all not remember Tawanda from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”? She’s just using her as an excuse to be obnoxious and a biotch where as Kathy Bates used her as a character of empowerment. They need to stop humoring her.
Towanda is in Fried Green Tomatoes. She's literally an out lit for a suppressed woman who finds out how to stand up for herself and better herself as a human. The mother is using it as an excuse to be a bully and control her daughter. Trash
When her mom threatened to bring out her bad side that made me want to punch her in the face. You don't threaten your daughter so that she'll get the wedding dress you want. She deserves the worst mother of the year award. It's her daughter's wedding not hers. It's her job to support her daughter not to boss her around
Ok fake alter ego excuses aside, help me figure out the logic: Is this YOUR daughter or "towanda's" daughter? Who the heck cares what Towanda thinks in this situation?
I don't know why some of the people on these shows say such cruel things to each other when they try on dresses. I don't see this with the Asian bridal shows that I watch. Those customers try to be more tactful.
I'm sorry but to say you have a alter ego to cover up the fact that you're just outright rude is wrong on so many levels! The day is about your daughter not YOU! I'm glad she was able to find her dress that she wanted not what her mother wanted.
What an appalling woman!😡 The disrespect she showed her daughter (&all present) is sick. The mother wants all the attention and is out to diminish her daughter. It should’ve been a wonderful day for her daughter but instead she had to trash it.
You could tell the mother was going to be a problem the first moment when she had that pissy look on her face. Then when she opened her mouth with the Tawanda nonsense, that just confirmed the worst. My advice to the groom: move your wife at lest 15 hours drive away from the in laws and don’t ever let them around the kids.
Tracy Edmonson the name is a common name amongst black women that was used in the movie. I know a lot of women with that name that were definitely born before that movie.
I love her supportive friends and I think her fiancé really brings out her inner courage. I don’t believe her mom should have been involved in this process.
At this point in my life, I’d be able to simply not accept her money and cut her off. In my early 20s, I was still too invested in hoping somehow my parents would become the people I needed and wanted them to be, instead of the abusive people they were. I was super lucky my parents weren’t speaking to me when I got married. I was able to buy my dress and get married with only supportive people around me.
For it to be an Alter ego there has to be a trigger. The mother didn't experience a trigger, She just used her 'Alter Ego' as an attempt to get her way.
She's not talking about alter identities like with the mental disorder. It's just a persona she puts on, like Beyonce's Sasha Fierce alter ego except toxic and disgusting.
“Alter ego”= I don’t want to take responsibility for being abusive.
100%

Some people do have actual alter egos but this woman does not. You cannot just change whenever you want, it is a thing caused by a negative or emotional thing happening to the person.

@@samaryechic people with DID can’t switch their Alters on command she is clearly faking it, she’s just using an Alter ego as an Excuse to get away with being rude. She doesn’t have DID
@@sunsetdots19 I'm not disagreeing, she DOESN'T have it. But I also don't think she's referencing a DID alter, but an alter ego like I mentioned in another comment. All in all, she's pretending so that her bad behaviour is excused. Neither is ok.
Why are they humouring the mother? The alter ego is just an excuse for her to be rude!
She's incredibly rude and unkind. Thankfully, the bride seems to have a sweet personality.
Exactly, when you blame your immaturity, bad manners and desperate need to be the center of attention on an "alter ego.", you just need to be ignored.
Someone else said she looked like a pill popper. I can believe it. She didn't put any effort into her appearance, looked like she'd just rolled out of bed and threw on the clothes from the day before.
Seriously!!!!!
The mum maybe paying for it also the belt can come off on the day , if it sways mum why not
it’s upsetting that her mother is pinning her horrible comments and actions on a fake personality, it’s still her mom saying those things ?
Ofc it's the mom towanda is just a name she uses to cover her evil works
It just a way to manipulate others. There is no “other personality “ it is all her. She says it it’s someone else so she can be as nasty and controlling as she wants without consequence.
Thts wht she puts into herself.she is very controlling and have an evil personality
Exactly. She doesn't have a personality disorder, and "Towanda" is just an excuse to be toxic to her daughter.
@Pine Trees she doesnt. People with personality disorders have no control over when they switch. "Towanda" is a sad excuse to be toxic to het daughter and anyone around her.
That poor girl! It’s her special day, not her moms. She needs to his hand be supportive. When my daughter got married she made me promise to tell her honestly if something was unflattering. I didn’t have to do that- she already knew what looked good and what didn’t. When she put on the dress that she ultimately chose, I teared up. She saw my face before she got a good look at herself and said “It’s that good?” I just shrugged and said see for yourself. She turned around and loved it. It was a special moment.
I hope she cuts ties with her mother. She’s abusive.
she would guilt trip her forever if she did that

When she said her daughter looked like a sausage my jaw dropped. You can tell the daughter is used to the insults and that's just so sad.
I see your point but you can be a lot more polite about it than comparing her to a sausage. A bride doesn't need that extra negativity, especially one with already low self esteem!
It was so rude. Also, has the mom looked in a mirror recently? If I were her I wouldn’t dare comment on anyone looking heavy or being overweight.
@@prlegal411 yeah her mom looked like gollum from lotr

The way her laugh was cut off💀
The bride: “Towanda and I disagree on just about everything!”
My brain instantly: You mean “My mom and I”, stop enabling her toxicity and abusive tendencies that she blames on some fake personality to brush off the abuse like it isn’t her fault.
AMEN!!!
She probably thinks that her mom actually has DID... I mean who would want to ruin their daughter's self esteem like that??
@@kesiasajji7345 I do think that if someone has DID it should be taken seriously. I know I cannot speak to the truth of this situation, but I know there are certain mothers out there who make life a living hell for their children. The mother may actually have mental challenges or disabilities that caused this to happen, but she may also just be using this as an excuse to treat her daughter poorly. Many mothers or other family members choose to treat those in their family badly for various reasons. So it isn’t unheard of; we just don’t really know the nature of the relationship and we aren’t perfectly aware of the facts of the situation.
@@hayleephillips7409 from what I've read and seen online, people with DID can't switch their personalities like that on their own will. You can't threaten to do something that is not in your control. But she's clearly threatening her daughter to do what she wants in the name of "Towanda"...
The moment she said her and Towanda disagree on everything, I immediately thought that Towanda was just the mom's excuse to "stay friends" with her daughter while having "someone else" take thd blame. If she can threaten verbal abuse and say its not her, she probably feels like she has the upperhand. I feel so bad for the daughter because she was probably raised tothink that kind of behavior was normal and thats why she doesnt question it.
She came looking to ruin her daughter's special day..and she was just pathetic
Lori and Monte looked ready to fight her
Monte is the second main-side character in this anime
Who gives a flower what that mom thinks? Her mom just invented that other personality to explain her cruelty towards people. She is just an ugly person, no need to bring out that T friend of hers
Everyone, let's take a moment to appreciate both Monte, his crazy sayings such as "Ding dong, Towanda's dead" and the editor.
Yes, the two best parts for sure :)
god bless the editors i can’t stop laughing at this. like the way they inverted her to look like the alter ego is a different person and the evil laughs has me dying
The editor must've had a lot of fun with this episode. (kudos to them they did a great job)

@@hannahmitchell8683 hi
No wonder the bride is overweight. She had to have something to cling to with this mother in her life.
I sinscerely hope she will go to live somewhere else with her husband, somewhere far away from the mother and be happy at last.

I’m convinced some mothers are straight up jealous of their daughters.
Her mom... Pot calling the kettle black... Mom is not exactly a runway model!
how could she say this to her child? she is not nurturing at all, could you see her picking on her grand children! she is toxic

Instantly proved that the alter ego is a fake excuse to be toxic. Because people with personality disorders/alters can't control the switches. *I rest my case.*
THANK YOU
Exactly!
Reminder before anyone comments this is copied: It wasn't intentional,
I hadn't seen the other comments
I agree, however it actually is common for someone who suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) to be able to “summon” their alters. Usually this only happens when they are in a stressful situation though. However, like I said before, I do agree with you because that is definitely unusual behavior if she really does have a personality disorder.
@@khaotics3663 , Of course, I know about that! Triggers! Something as simple as a person speaking ill of them can bring back some bad memories, causing an episode of DID.
Or positive triggers when an alter fronts because they heard the music they like to play!
Which are both still bad for you because you shouldn't force yourself to dissociate, it can cause headaches, memory loss and such.
So It wouldn't be just switching alters like a light switch as she makes it seem.
Thanks for being so nice about your reply! :)
If someone acts like this on national television, imagine what a mother she must have been like.
That Towanda crap is just a bunch of bull. She uses her "alto ego" to bully her daughter into getting what she wants and it just pisses me off. She should not be able to act like that towards her own daughter. They shouldn't have to add stuff to make the parents like the dress. If this were to happen to me, I would just say screw you. This is my choice. You don't get to body-shame me and bully me into getting what YOU want.
I think they added a belt so the daughter can remove it when the big day comes. Because she liked the original dress.
@@phoenixwaddell6093 True
You go girl!!
When you grow up with that type of abuse, you hunker down and take the hits to survive until the next episode. My honey is pulling me out of that type of situation. I didn't even see it clearly until he started pointing it out to me and insisting I put distance between my family and myself.
Fried Green Tomatoes movie
No offence; I don’t really care who the family member is, if the bride likes it, wear it. The amount of influence from family members is kind of ridiculous
I do feel bad for the daughter
She truly wanted her mom to compliment her and smile as she tried on dresses
I think it's because they're the one paying for it.
@@m-jgomis7195 yet who’s the one getting married? Not the parent. The one GETTING MARRIED will be the one wearing it.
I agree. I really and truly do not understand the concept of shopping with family members when you're no longer a child.
they need to start just ignoring the "alter ego". don't give her a reaction, treat her like she's exactly the same when "towanda" is out. if it doesn't accomplish its goal she'll stop doing it.
But then they won't make good reality television!
And if THAT doesn't work, tell the Mom to KNOCK THE HELL OFF! (Yes, I'm shouting!)
Gray rock method.
After watching several dozens of these videos, I can't believe how many supposedly adult women can't come up with their own decision of what they like. We have three daughters and when they announced their engagements, we gave them a cash gift and told them the choices were theirs.

the voice effect, the editing, the music, the dramatic music, makes the mom 10x possessive.

Oh god, the editors are on FIRE, hahah! After the possessed Towanda voice, I swear they added Thomas Newman inspired music from the movie!
I’m just mad that they said monster moms and completely missed the opportunity to say momsters
That's cool world
I don’t get why the rest of the party validates “Towanda” as if the mom has DID. Like no, she’s just using this “character” as an excuse to be annoying. She’s acting like a child. If she did have DID that would be different but clearly that’s not what’s happening
Exactly what I was thinking! This mothers acting feels like a hit in the face for the DID community
It looks like mama is paying for the dress because she's the one who spoke about the budget. Otherwise they wouldn't have to listen to her.

It's really disgusting that they gave her bitchy side a name. It's not a different person, it's you not wanting to let go of the control you have on your daughter.
I think they did it to make her look like a joke, which she is as well as to hopefully embarrase the crap out of her for her behavior, like honestly she's acting like a 5 year old
Leave mama at home lmaooo mama thinks this is about her but she was right about the first dress it was not flattering on her at all lol
True, but she could have blended in some kindness with her honesty. " That IS a pretty dress, but I think we need to look at a variety of styles as I don't think that this particular dress is the best one for you" . I can't imagine laughing at a bride to be when she is trying on dresses. 😒😣
Diane Dizayee why would she do that when she doesn’t care about her daughters feelings.
Leave mama at home and never come back honestly. I hate this
😂😂😂
If that was my mother, a) I would of left her at home, b) I would just ignore her, and c) if she don't like it, don't tell her what day the wedding is!
And be prepared to pay for the dress yourself so you don’t need the demon’s money.
The fact that they acknowledge “Towanda” as an actual different person is weird af
Right! They are pandering to her and it's disgusting.
I think they mean it in a kind of mocking sarcastic way?
in these kinds of mental disorders, alter egos are actually different people with a different name, personality, and style. But I'm 100% sure Towanda is fake anyways. People can't control their alter egos.
@@evelynesophiaa5444 that's DID. we can control alter ego. but yeah, that "towanda" is a fake.
I get so sick of all these mother’s who expect the daughter to buy a dress they want instead of what the daughter wants. Sheesh, grow up already it’s NOT your wedding dress.
My mom did that to me, picked my dress for my wedding. 😑😑 Horrible dress!! I will never forget. It's not love what this lady did to her daughter, she's abusive
This mother makes me sick
this happens to me all the time, she always picks out my clothes and I don't get to chose anything
The clothes the bride's mom was wearing is beyond revolting. If my mother ever dressed like that ( thank God she doesn't), I wouldn't even have her present while I'm picking my wedding gown.
It’s more about being jealous about seeing the daughter beautiful and confident, some mothers just gotta take them down a few pegs to make themselves feel better about being old

Do y’all not remember Tawanda from the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes”? She’s just using her as an excuse to be obnoxious and a biotch where as Kathy Bates used her as a character of empowerment. They need to stop humoring her.
“Towanda” is just an excuse the mom
gave herself to be toxic.
The mother sounds like a narcissist! She needs to go no contact
Sounds like a devil too 🤣🤣
I agree. I haven’t spoken to my monster of a mother in 19 years and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Why is “Towanda” validated, her people need to stop accepting the bad behavior. And stop being afraid, just stop feeding the beast.
I was reading your comment and I was half a sleep and I read quit feeding the breast instead of beast 😂 that made my day better 😊

I'm sorry, do you mean "outlet"?
@Zonra yes I did, oops. Thanks for catching that!
Yes!!! I was reading through comments to see if anyone else caught the reference
An alter ego. What a fun way of taking no responsibility for your own wretched behavior.
When her mom threatened to bring out her bad side that made me want to punch her in the face. You don't threaten your daughter so that she'll get the wedding dress you want. She deserves the worst mother of the year award. It's her daughter's wedding not hers. It's her job to support her daughter not to boss her around
And it's honestly insulting to people with real DID or mental illnesses. It's not a joke!
@@bellerain381 she could have did and is extremely manipulative, sounds like she had a spiritual and mental illness of some sort
Ok fake alter ego excuses aside, help me figure out the logic: Is this YOUR daughter or "towanda's" daughter? Who the heck cares what Towanda thinks in this situation?
Good one 👏
Lol
One problem is the daughter is used to being abused. Still has some spunk. But the other problem may be the mother is paying for the dress.
I feel like she's just trying to sabotage her day out of jealousy
Greetings from the crown prince of Dubai and send me your email okay
The mom genuinely needs therapy for disassociating from her terrible behavior to get away with it.

What an appalling woman!😡 The disrespect she showed her daughter (&all present) is sick. The mother wants all the attention and is out to diminish her daughter. It should’ve been a wonderful day for her daughter but instead she had to trash it.
You could tell the mother was going to be a problem the first moment when she had that pissy look on her face. Then when she opened her mouth with the Tawanda nonsense, that just confirmed the worst. My advice to the groom: move your wife at lest 15 hours drive away from the in laws and don’t ever let them around the kids.
True.. never leave the children with that kind of grandmother
She looks like she just woke up from a 20 hour nap....
Good Laaawwd, the fact that the daughter actually acknowledges that Towanda "exists" is telling as to how dysfunctional this family is.
I was waiting on them to call towanda her “inner black woman” which was really going to be annoying 🤦🏾♀️
Why would they call it that
Ayah Malouhi I’m pretty sure that towanda is a black woman’s name but I’m not sure
So why did you have to say it

I love her supportive friends and I think her fiancé really brings out her inner courage. I don’t believe her mom should have been involved in this process.
A lot of times the paying parent is present to at least seeing what they are getting for their buck.
At this point in my life, I’d be able to simply not accept her money and cut her off. In my early 20s, I was still too invested in hoping somehow my parents would become the people I needed and wanted them to be, instead of the abusive people they were. I was super lucky my parents weren’t speaking to me when I got married. I was able to buy my dress and get married with only supportive people around me.
"Towanda and i disagree on a lot of things" damn girl u need to stop playing into ur mom's BS.
WHAT IS THIS EDITING LMFAOOO
For it to be an Alter ego there has to be a trigger. The mother didn't experience a trigger, She just used her 'Alter Ego' as an attempt to get her way.
She's not talking about alter identities like with the mental disorder. It's just a persona she puts on, like Beyonce's Sasha Fierce alter ego except toxic and disgusting.
