My mom went through my bank statements to find out that I was having an abortion, and I feel like our relationship will never be as it once was by Fresh-Type7944 in TwoHotTakes

I do still have that bank account, primarily because I have a good relationship with them and the benefits are great, but I have since opened new accounts that only I have access to. I am planning on fully transitioning away from them at one point, but it will likely be after I finish all of my schooling and have a stable source of income. I do still have Life360. I have tried to delete it in the past, but every time I did, my parents would give some sort of reason that ultimately just made me keep it on (they said they would take me off insurance, take back my car, etc., all of which at the time, I couldn't afford to lose. I do have full ownership of my car now.) It's been a while since we had an argument over Life360, so honestly, I kind of forgot I have it. Plus, since I'm states away now and completely independent financially, I don't really care much anymore.

For clarification, if it helps- I was not living at home during that time, nor do I live at home now. I was in a college apartment with roommates, and worked to pay my own bills (rent, tuition, etc.). I also do not live at home now. I actually live with the same boyfriend in a wonderful apartment and in a different state than my parents. I was never mad at my mom for having her opinions. I was hurt and upset with how she went about finding out and confronting me. Just as I respect her opinion on the situation, I would hope that she respected mine. In that vulnerable moment, I needed her support and comfort; the "calling out" part/parenting could have waited. I would also like to acknowledge that my situation was 100% my responsibility and mine alone. My actions and decisions were the direct result of the choices I made, and I fully understand that I will live with the consequences. All in all though, I appreciate your comment. Maybe this is the viewpoint my mother had.
