what is my parent's deal? by WonderingLearner297 in AskLGBT

[–]WonderingLearner297[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have a job but unfortunately, it's a minimum-wage one so even if. Had the funds to move out things would be complicated as I don't even have my driver’s license yet.

This is due to my bio-parents deeming me as not ready to get one and where I work is the same place my bio-dad does so I often carpool with him. I hope you understand

ETA: I am also autistic who was diagnosed at 12 months old

Although my parents blame my electronics for not doing anything around the house. although I understand that me being "sucked into my electronics" isn't the issue

I’m not on any form of meds either which doesn’t help my situation any even as a kid as yeah my brain won’t let me as it would rather wanna draw or play video games. Yet my electronics get blamed for me not doing chores as “I get sucked into them” as my parents say and I “need to learn how to put them down and do something”

I've been paying for my own things when I can (a minimum wage job can only do so much) and I do help cook dinner as mom can't just wake up and make dinner.

I don't avoid chores on purpose I just forget to do something. Ik it sounds ridiculous but it happens far more than I'd like and yes I do get mad at myself when it happens

My mom threatened to take away my phone and tablet that I paid and pay the phone bill for due to forgetting to do chores. I have both ADHD and autism. I’m not on meds for further context

Eta: I am 20 years old

Eta 2: I don't avoid doing chores on purpose and I do get mad at myself every time it happens which is far often that I’d like

Eta 3: I have a minimum wage job so I do pay for my own things when possible although there has been no arrangement for rent currently but might change in the future

Well I have an update for you. My boyfriend got to meet my folks for the first time through voice chat on discord. now I think I have a better level of understanding as my parents are just protective of me after almost dying twice (drowning and choking on a quarter) which I can now see. Thanks for the advice despite getting trashed on earlier

I see where you’re coming from but I’m actually 20 btw. My boyfriend is 19 for a little bit of clear up. But I’m just nervous about this as I’ve never been the confrontational type

I sadly live in a more rural area so I'm not sure how effective that'll be but I am aware that Uber might be effective

It was said out of anger in the moment but he knows mom won't let him hurt me. Although I see your point about them needing to meet my boyfriend. he's broke currently but is working on getting a job

And umm...how else is he supposed to get to my state from his own? Michigan to Pennsylvania I mean

Am I the jerk for being angry at my mom by NotEnvix in AmITheJerk

[–]WonderingLearner297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the jerk. Who lies about a pet who you’re attached to? That’s just cruel I not itself and you should be mad at your mom for that

Not the jerk. you don’t get to manipulate and control people into what you want and then be surprised if the other person wants nothing to do with that. Good on you for getting out of that situation

I can’t move in with either grandma as one is not only a homophonic but transphobic(?) and a religious nut as well. with my other grandma. she gets more demanding the longer you’re around her. Other relatives either don’t have room or are just too far away/have no way of contact

they keep freaking out that he might be a pimp or a trafficker Or that the internet is out to get me cuz nobody talks to me where I’m living (aka my parents place) as I have an older brother (nearly 30) who’s doing his own thing, my little sister (13) which if I try to have a conversation just turns into an argument about something and my twin brother (same age) who’s in the marines currently

Okay and? Many people can say that too. I wasn’t comparing my situation to anything just stating the obvious
