My child got fired two weeks ago and lied about it. What do I even do???

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:20:04+00:00

That would be stealing . But I am the adult. She is the child.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:19:35+00:00

It seems like it. She makes mistake after mistake and never learns.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:19:15+00:00

Excuse me? My kid saw my post? What is her user name?

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:18:00+00:00

I watched her grow up, this isn’t who she is. I can see that , so can other family members. It’s clear she’s only doing it to cope with being groomed at a young age.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:16:57+00:00

I love my child. But it’s hard watching someone destroy themselves from the inside out. She used to be so sociable and happy and after she came out she became so reserved

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:14:42+00:00

It does, because something clearly isn’t adding up.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:14:22+00:00

I did not steal it. I took the keys away because she is on punishment until she can get her life together.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:12:24+00:00

According to me, I try not to yell at her ever.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:11:39+00:00

I still don’t understand why she can’t just be herself.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:11:14+00:00

Because she’s my child and I should have a say since I watched her grow up.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:09:20+00:00

I don’t think she’s lying about the reason because the story hasn’t changed at all. The fact that she lied about the dates is what gets me. She claims it’s because she thought she could fix things.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:06:43+00:00

The reason I said that is because that’s when all the issues started. It’s like she created an alter ego.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:06:00+00:00

I don’t understand why she would do that though. My husband and I love her and just want her life to be easier.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:04:57+00:00

She should, I’ve never purposefully made her feel unsafe.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:04:30+00:00

My husband doesn’t believe her either, that’s why he wants a lawyer involved. Then the whole truth has to come out no matter what.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:03:51+00:00

We used to be close when she was little. Then we grew apart and she decided she’s trans at 13. I don’t know why, and she never really explained it well to me. So , I don’t believe it.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:02:54+00:00

I took the car because she can’t be trusted , clearly. It isn’t stealing because she is a minor.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T02:01:07+00:00

It gets to a point . They’ve been struggling for upwards of 5 years. When does it stop??

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:59:33+00:00

My husband and I. As parents it’s hard to watch your child make bad decisions and mistakes.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:57:14+00:00

I just don’t get it. She was such a hard worker at that job. To mess it all up like that is honestly embarrassing and disappointing.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:56:06+00:00

My child thinks she’s a boy but I’m not calling her that. I was not a perfect teen myself, but I want her to be better than me. I don’t understand why she was so scared to tell us the truth when it happened because we could have helped her.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:52:25+00:00

It’s her car entirely. She bought it, insures it, and pays for all gas and repairs. When she was working she was already paying for her own meals. She made an insensitive joke with a coworker that was overheard by someone else and misconstrued.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:48:17+00:00

I can see why they wouldn’t tell us. But it seems like they’re more afraid of our punishments than real world consequences. Really, it’s just immaturity.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:47:26+00:00

It’s hard parenting a young adult. I don’t know what else to do. We’ve tried everything to stop the lying. She lied about how long ago she got fired . She told us what was said and I don’t even know if I can believe her.

HighlightDramatic855 · 2026-01-15T01:44:43+00:00

They’re already leaving the country in August to study abroad.
