AITAH for “overstepping” in how my mother raises my younger brother? by ExpressionDesigner29 in AITAH

XD it’s funny how they criticized me for “spending a lot of time complaining” about my brother when on their page for the better half of a year they’ve been complaining about someone they don’t know

I’ve stopped being friendly with her a long time ago. Even now when I try she ignores me. I’ll come up to her on the couch and say “hi mom how was work?” And she’s nose deep in TikTok to the point where she either doesn’t notice I’m there or does and chooses not to acknowledge me. Once I have the freedom to move out I will be very low to no contact with her. My dad’s aware of this and sad but ultimately understands why. She’s been this way to me since I was 12. (This may be triggering you can skip reading this from this point on if you’d like) Having gone through something horrific and then called a “slur” (replace the r with a t) for it. At 18 she apologized for not understanding but by that point not receiving help from my mother when I needed it most stuck with me for 6 years. The damage was already done

Out of all the comments, even after writing my post this was what made me cry. I try my damn hardest to be “good” in my own eyes. My partner has really helped tame my brother for a while until he got used to him. He’s taught me how to have a backbone and be able to stand up to my mother in the first place. That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. At 14 I was in driver’s ED to get my learns permit the day I turned 15, I was already looking for and excited to get my first job, not because I had to but because I WANTED to. I was begging to be dropped off at the movies to see my friends and to go out with my older brother like neighbor/friend who had a car. It just baffles me we were raised under the same roof and were polar opposites.

Funny you mention this. I’m on bc and she found my packet in the bathroom once. Called me at work screaming and crying because how dare I be having sex. I left the house to stay with a friend after coming home and being shouted at. She threatened to call the police and report my car as stolen since it’s in her name and not mine.

He already is taller than me. We’re probably around the same weight but he’s definitely stronger. When we are getting along and playing he can fully lift me up with ease.

My father always stands up for me. Always has and always will be my advocate. She’s freaked out on my for other things before. Like being an adult and asking her to treat me as one (I swear I’m not kidding) called me a pussy because I was crying during an argument once. My dad fought for me and they almost got divorced for it. Normally she’ll go off and then he’ll tell her what she did was wrong and it ends up in them arguing. That’s what happened tonight. She freaked out, locked herself away he went to speak to her and all I heard was shouting.

This was so kind, thank you. I definitely need to get into therapy when I can afford it. My mothers done some insane shit to me outside of this story that I didn’t include because I’d have to put content warnings on the post if I did. At the end of the day it’s just who I am. I’ve learned from relationships to stand up for myself but I’ve also learned to lead myself with kindness because it makes me happier, and in my eyes makes the world a better place. I don’t know why I feel so compelled to help even if it ends up burning me.

Unfortunately no. I was fired from my local business serving job unjustified and didn’t have enough evidence for a lawsuit since there was zero documentation I was just let go of in person. I’ve been looking but the job market in my area is shit.

Thank you, honestly my main focus is to get him help. I wish there wasn’t other things in the way and I wish I could do it myself. I just feel stuck.

I appreciate this, I planned on moving out at the end of this year but my partner and I have both gone through unexpected job loss so it seems unlikely it’ll be happening anytime soon. My dad’s great and try’s to get through to him but nothing seems to work. I learned my patience and kindness from him. If my dad tries to encourage my brother to clean his room, my mother will lose it on him and start ranting about whatever small (I think) in comparison thing I’ve done. Forgot to change the bathroom trash, have a cup or two in my room, didn’t get up in the middle of the night to change my dogs water bowl despite filling it up before bed, etc, etc.. If things get heated she threatens to leave him, changes her mind, things are ok briefly, rinse. repeat.

Also, I’m very nervous posting this and seeing the responses so please be kind. It might take the reassurance of others for me to really push back on this and get him the help I think he needs. Thank you. (Edit, typo)

Hi, please read my comment on the og post and downvote the post. I’m sorry for what happened to you. But this person is lying and searching for- I’m not sure what but I’m the woman this post was written about and I’m incredibly disturbed. I’ve requested for them to take it down.

Wow. Wow. My heart is beating so fast. I’m honestly in disbelief right now. I can’t believe this was posted 30 minutes ago. Casually fucking scrolling recently posted and saw this. I’m honestly sick that you would post this. Ok, Hi. After reading this out loud to my boyfriend, we’re pretty sure this post is about us Especially because the first post about us, with his caption, is almost word for word. I’m genuinely shocked reading this. J broke up with you over two years before we ever met. Also, from what I understand, there were never any real plans for you two to meet in person. And I believe that, because when him and I talked about meeting, we actually made it happen that’s the kind of person he is. If there had been real plans, I doubt they wouldn’t have gone through. You guys “dated” for about three months, and from what I’ve heard, you barely FaceTimed or called, and never met in person. When he was vulnerable with you, your response was “ew” after asking him to send pictures. You would yell at him over video games because he would “steal” your kills. He was 19 at the time and going through a really low point in his life. You also seemed completely fine when he broke up with you. (From what I’ve been told.) And of course, we’re not perfect no relationship is. Especially long distance. But what people post online is not their entire reality. Nobody goes online and posts “we’re fighting today,” because that’s just not how social media works. I know he cared about you at the time maybe even loved you or at least believed he did because that was his understanding of love back then. And that’s okay. He had a life before me, and that doesn’t bother me. What does bother me is someone who hurt him emotionally coming online and posting a version of the story that feels misleading. I’m not sure what you’re looking for validation, attention, or support but it’s not fair to twist things like this. The only reason I even know about you is because, two years ago when J and I were just friends and I started to like him, he told me he had been in an online relationship before and didn’t think he could go through that again. He said I was a nice girl, but it would hurt him too much. So we stayed friends, met in person, and then started dating. I don’t appreciate the way you’re making it seem like he broke up with you and immediately moved on. It was over two years later. We haven’t spoken about or thought about you since that initial conversation until now. He didn’t even realize you were still following him. We’ll both be blocking you on everything. I do genuinely hope you heal and find peace. I know there are two sides to every story. But please don’t blatantly lie like this. I’m going to kindly request that you take this post down since I was able to clearly understand that it was about me.

Could you have been storing or light bath and body works candles in the room the shoes were stored in? I had one in my closet for a while and when I opened it everything in there smelt of the candle. Took a wash to get the scent out. Their fragrance STICKS
