I mean, you're not wrong, it's a bit hypocritical of her to call you out for being friends, when she's still friends with exes. Maybe you went a little overboard with the whole "inside you" thing, but it definitely isn't something you need to see a therapist over.

You're clearly young, so just understand that communication is key in any relationship. Just talk to her like she talked to you. Tell her how you're feeling. No one is perfect.

So she's allowed to comment on one friendship but you can't comment on her multiple friendships? You need to think and be honest with yourself if her past will always bother you. Do you think you could hold your tongue during a heated argument and not bring the issue up? And if she goes to hang out with a friend she's slept with would that bother you?

Honestly, I think you attempted to do what you felt was justified. Usually with new sick policies, a manager is supposed to let all employees know with a verbal acknowledgement first, then for you to understand and sign it- either in person or electronically.

So sending out a randomly-timed email to a personal account makes her also accountable, and it can get messy- such as your situation. And yes we may accidentally put an abundance of mixed messages in the trashcan.

I will say though, your mother shouldn't have intervened. You are 17, still young, but do have to create some backbone/independence when defending your sick day, as you are entering the workforce and sometimes can be taken for granted.

All in all, I think with what you had, you did what was justified.
