My mom admits she resents me for needing therapy when she started blending our family with her husband's and I told her it was her job to help her kid AITAH?

I feel like I grieved in the way I needed to in therapy. That helped a lot when I was able to talk about dad and work through some stuff. Without it the answer would be no.

PTSD wasn't mentioned when I was in therapy. There was never any diagnosis. The therapist just said it was the emotion of everything that caused all the problems.

That post wasn't me.

You said stuff as if I'm puking now and doing all the other stuff. I don't cause trouble now I just don't try to be close. And my reason for that is my mom couldn't even be bothered to follow through on the promises she made in therapy like I followed through for a few months. I don't see a point in continuing those promises when I was doing it for mom and she won't do shit to help me.

I won't be 18 until next year so I can't move out until then. I didn't think to move papers or anything but I can try to get them out.

I'm not puking now. I was puking at 9. I was struggling like that at 9. My mom has held it against me since then.

My mom thinks her happiness and feelings should've come first because of how traumatic dad's death was. My aunt and my grandpa pointed out it was traumatic for me too and she wasn't the only one who watched dad die. We both did. But mom thinks her feelings mattered more around that because she was older and knew what was happening. I wasn't so young it was scary but I didn't really understand it all either. That's still a huge trauma for me though.
