ok so i live at my house with my parents and really cant afford anywhere else right now. I have thre younger siblings, twin boys who are 10 and a 5 year old sister. Well the other day my mom accused me of breaking her $1500 camera, because apparently there was severe internal damage and according to the customer service rep she talked to it had to have been thrown pretty hard in order for this type of damage to be caused. My mom thinks it was me and is making me pay for it. And on top of that she thros it in my face every chance she gets. I have tried explaining it wasnt me. She dosent believe me no matter how much I tell her. It got so bad that she wanted to kick me out so i had to actually make up a story about throwing the camera at a wall because i was angry. I have broken a door and a cabinet in a fit of rage befor but I admitted to it and payed up for the damage. But I cant afoord $1500 for something I didnt do. What should I do about this situation?
Geeze, you have to give people more time. This forum is pretty much dead, now. Anyway, that sucks that your mom doesn't believe you, but seeing as you've been pissed off enough in the past to break a door, are you really surprised about this? It sounds like your mom doesn't trust you. I mean, there must be some reason she won't believe you. I know that my parents would believe me, but then again I don't break things in a fit of rage. () I don't know, I guess you're just in a sticky situation. Did you really try to get her to believe you, or did you just yell and throw a fit?
that's ridiculous.... i'll be at 'home' wherever my father is with him, cause i'd be fuckin crazy to have to go out and try and work at some fast food joint so i could be renting a trailer five minutes away, too poor to even have herb....well no thanks if thats what 'independence' is, i'll pass... so if anyone could stay at home and have what they need and to a degree what they want...why would they WANT to be away from home? people are nuts.... of course, a lot of people like to drive though, and that's crazy....who knows
your distrusting mother won't believe you didnt break her camera (could it have fallen off a table, etc...)...but then you "make up a story about throwing the camera at the wall" ..and THEN you're angry about "having" to pay for the camera (which you don't unless you allow her to pressure you into doing so).... just for next time, don't claim to do something you didn't. it doesn't really surprise me your mother doesn't trust you to tell the truth. but anyway...i believe you should write her a calm, collected letter, and just explain the whole thing, and tell her that if she won't believe you, it won't be any concern of yours anyhow because you're not paying for the camera because you didn't break it, and perhaps you wanna show some gumption (uh..sp aha)......and if she kicks you out for being honest (or for not paying for a camera she has no evidence of you breaking, save your own false 'confession') , well, you've got a cold hearted bitch for a mother and if you're gonna live around cold hearted cunts, why not go out and live with the hookers on the street a little while? but hopefully you have a kind, understanding mother who'll drop it and let you stay in the home you should always be welcome in (without money....wow)... i dont expect people to like me
You have a skewed view on life, hun. There is more than minimum-wage jobs, shitty weed, and trailers out there.
Lucifer, I broke the door a few months ago, admitted to it and paid for it. That was the first time I ever broke something in a fit of rage, ever. Spooner, yeah it's kinda hard not living with my parents seeing I have to pay for college myself, which I am not complaining about, I am just saying I cant be completely finacially independent until my education is completed. Miss Corquscru, yeah I probably shouldnt have made up a false confession but my mom was having a legit core meltdown and telling me she was calling the cops and kicking me out if I didnt admit to it because she "knows I did it". I dont think a letter would work. My mom only sees black and white, no grey. What she believes is how it is and there is no changing it.
I guess. I did it with my BA, and I'm doing it for L1, so it is possible. I know lots of others who have. Ahhh, and I did it without crazy parents like that.
A fake confession was stupid. Let her call the cops. Tell them you didn't do it. It's her words against yours. They'll probably laugh at the two of you. On campus living isn't an option? Miss....you're ridiculously immature and shouldn't be on your own anyway. Anyone that doesn't want their own place because of 'herb' has a problem.
Yeah... why don't you live on campus? Practically every university offers scholarships or at least aid for living on campus. You can also always take out a student loan. Being in debt sucks, but being in debt to a bitchy mom is a tad worse. I think that you should truly get out of that house.
i only smoke shitty weed when i get desperate....at least half the time i have medical stuff.... and i dont live in a trailer i'm moving to california when shit happens... and you're wrong, you dont know about this place. all thats here is minimum wage jobs, shitty weed, shitty meth, and trailers. oh, and modulars...mexicans, hicks, and poverty. yep. i do what makes me happy. the minimum wage/shitty/trailer situation IS the one that i would be in IF i attempted to leave home and become 'independent' at this point in time. mmmk and megan....ahha...you dont know me. edit....i vaguely remember you though nice to see you had a healthy child
i still stand by what i said, i wouldn't want to fuck my mom that's just wrong although killing my father wouldn't be such a bad idea
It's reversed for girls. Elektra complex instead of Oedipal. They want to screw their dad and kill their mom.
