A video by TikTok creator Miki listing the bizarre rules her parents enforced has left the internet stunned and racked up over 3.5 million views since March 2026. In it, she casually describes a childhood governed by strict, often nonsensical mandates – no flip-flops, no pop music, no dairy – before dropping the devastating detail that both her brothers died by suicide, leaving her the sole surviving sibling.
The video, titled “it only gets worse from here lol,” is a nearly five-minute monologue where @mikitothefuture recounts the controlling environment her classical musician parents created. Flip-flops were banned because they allegedly created an unsightly gap between toes, a flaw her mother mocked in relatives.
