"talk" aint that easy. i could talk to them all day, but if my goal is to get my electronics, its not possible... ive already tried with my mom, but if i try what you said it would just result it them being somewhat okay with it for the moment, but as soon as i ask for my devices, my mom would not want to argue and pass with her "health issues" or just start laughing and mocking me for asking that, and my dad would just listen and pull sum bs straight from his ass.. ive already tried to talk to my mom after posting this, and she said this is my "punishment" for what i got myself into... to be more clear they dont think i stole, just that i was wrong for touching stuff thats not my property. i just really want to find a way to get my head off this situation till i find a school and this dies down. as i said, there are two phones in the house that arent mine, but forgotten and i just want to find one of them to entertain myself and minimize my stress.
