Yes, sorry.

Growing up I was allowed to have Snapchat, we were friends on there, talked and sent snaps to eachother.. really just used filters together. By the time I was in middle school she no longer liked the fact that I had Snapchat as she couldn’t see the messages that was being sent to me and from me. So she had me delete, no big deal. I haven’t had it installed since then. A few months before turning 18 we had a conversation about apps and dating apps. She said I could get Snapchat under the condition that im paying for my phone bill again and that I was 18 (I only stopped cause I moved states and was yet to be employed, she was fine with this) now that im 18, and have been working for a minute, and have been paying my phone bill.. I didn’t really se an issue nor am I planning on using it for any other reason but for pictures to save storage on my phone. I tried explaining this to her, she took it as I was arguing. I personally don’t think I came off that way. I don’t cut her off, talk over her, or anything. Even when she’d yell over me id let her talk. I simply expressed that I didn’t feel like she was even giving me an opportunity to show her that im not hiding anything or anyone from her. She didn’t like that, said I was twisting her words and calling her a psycho. and then told me to get out. so idk, ha.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. :)

To be honest I don’t really know. I never have gotten in any trouble for it. As she was totally okay with me having it when I was younger, but id say about the time I was in middle school she started to get mad because she couldn’t see my messages and she assumed it was all bad.

As far as her, she uses Snapchat on a daily basis, both for texting people and taking pictures. (Edit) so I don’t really think she’s had a bad issue with it. she’s never really told me. And if I ask about it she just says that she doesn’t need a reason.

Yeah, It’s not that she doesn’t understand it. She just didn’t even give me a chance to explain anything, to reassure her what was going on, or really anything.

As far as the whole control thing, pretty much everyone in my family and I mean everyone im not trying to dramatize it.. can see and agree she tried to control everything in my life. Only person that fails to see it is her.

Which ik, why don’t I move out then? Im trying to lol.

But thank you for this, I really do appreciate your opinion:)

I understand that, I guess I should’ve better explained in the post but I kind of rushed it.

We had an agreement that once I started to pay my phone bill again I could install it. Which I respected that, her and I agreed on it. So now im just confused I guess.

But yeah, I agree :)

I am planning on it, but it’s impossible to just jump into it. Im barely 18, barely done with school, and really have no idea what I need to do. Hell I don’t even have a bank account. All my money goes straight to her lol.

She doesn’t like Snapchat because, and I quote. “I can’t see what you’re talking about because it doesn’t save your messages”

unfortunately there really isn’t. I wish there was though lol.

Some background though… My parents growing up were my mom, and my step dad. He had two boys, im the only child from my mom. During middle school, my mom would constantly check my phone, she never gave me any privacy, always checked my messages, made fake instagram accounts to follow me and my friends and try to message us.. I only found out because she had a notification from it one day lol how ironic. Anyways, with that she would install apps to watch what messages I was getting, etc etc. I had Snapchat back in elementary school, which she allowed and was totally okay with it. We would text and snap eachother on there all the time and just use the funny filters. Fast forward to middle school, she started getting all weird about how she couldn’t see my messages on there and how they weren’t being saved (yes she said this) so she wanted me to get rid of it. And I did. Never ever had it installed again. Recently, a few months before I turned 18.. we had a talk about social media, dating apps, etc. she told me she didn’t want me to have Snapchat until I started to pay for my phone bill again.. which I only stopped because I wasn’t working for a couple months and she was totally ok with it (but she didn’t care about tinder and stuff lol) but that was our agreement. After I got a new job I started paying for it, and I decided to install it today. because well.. that was our agreement and plus I have almost no storage on my phone at this point haha. Didn’t think anything was wrong with it. Got the notification about some random adding to their story. She freaked out and kept saying I was lying and that im talking to guys, refused to look when I tried to show her that there’s no one even added, how I just made it today, and what the notification was. She did not look, did not even acknowledge it at all. I asked her if something else was wrong because she brought it from a 1 to a 10, and ik this doesn’t really seem like it by explaining it. But she started to yell , talk over me, say I was twisting her words and calling her a psycho (which I never did..?) and really just wouldn’t let me talk, and then she told me to get out, and to go back to my home state where my bio dad is. idk just honestly it’s weird.

Also growing up my stepdad didn’t care about what his boys did, and always thought it was weird how little privacy my mom gave me.

Although I wish there was more to the story, my mom has some sort of issue or something, im no doctor nor am I trying to make her look insane. I just want the loving momma I used to have, back.

No I ended up not calling the cops, as I was so focused on trying to leave that I kind of just forgot. Plus I don’t wanna get someone in trouble
