Hey everyone. you guys can call me Tony like everyone else :)Thanks for all the support and just wanted to say thanks so much to everyone. Also I’m sorry that I misspelled cues’
I was able to sit down with my mom this morning. At first I was rather angry with them but she would try to explain her side or events.
She told me that in order for me to be more independent I had to learn that people didn’t always get what they wanted. Even if it’s on our birthday, or Christmas, or any holiday. I asked her why they didn’t just have a sit down and talk with me. She said it wouldn’t be as effective.
She went into a whole lecture about how I’ve been leaching off of them for the past few months and that I need to learn how to be a proper adult.
When I asked her if we were going to go back to Applebee’s so we could do a birthday dinner makeover. Since I learned my lesson. She got angry.
For everyone wondering if I got any gifts for my birthday. From my family no, the dinner is usually the treat.
Am I missing the point of this “lesson” I understand that we don’t always get what we want. I feel like my mom is manipulating me.
I tried asking my brother about it and all he said was talk to mom. Sorry this isn’t a climactic update, I’m sorry that it’s not a happy ending. But this is all the information I have. Thanks for reading redditors. ❤️
Guys, I love my family so much. I do, but I feel like they’re lying to me about stuff. I think they want me to leave the house. If that’s the case I’m gonna talk to my case worker at school whos in charge of my IEP.
Again, I did not mean this as a validation post or anything. I was just genuinely confused and wondered if I had missed anything.
Edit 1: hey everyone! Thanks for the kind advice, currently I am job hunting and scoping out friends to let me stay with them.
Edit 2: comments have been locked. Sorry guys. Feel free to message me ❤️
This will likely be my last update on it ❤️
TLDR; my mother told me it was a life lesson
