I bought some personal stuff I knew would upset my mom so I kept it private in my room.
She went snooping and found it and absolutely blew her top. Started screaming that she was going to burn it, sell it, etc. I told her that if she touches the stuff I'm moving out and not helping with rent/bills anymore.
Since then she's been driving me crazy. Every. Single. Conversation. Keeps coming back to this issue. My stepbrother wants something? "Maybe we could afford it if (my name) didn't waste all his money. "
If I say the sky is blue? "Is it really? How can we believe you when you keep secrets from your family?"
Every fucking word is either about how much I spent, what a liar I am, how I betrayed my family for strangers, etc.
I can move out but I don't want to if I can help it because step dad is pretty useless.
I've tried yelling, being nice, being cold, just not being home, but nothing is working. Any suggestions how I can get her to please shut up already?
tl:dr Mom won't stop nagging me about how I spend my own money and I want her to fucking stop.
