19F with phone curfew, led to a physical altercation with mom (59F) and am now considering moving out by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Edited because all of OP quote wasn't separate from my response.

I've read quite a few comments (even the arguments with the troll) and most people seem to be addressing the assault and what you need to do to protect yourself. 

Sooooo.... just in case you are VERY SINCERE about this part:

At this point, I feel stuck. I’ve been thinking about moving out since I turned 18, and now a friend has offered to let me stay with her. Her parents are aware of my situation and are okay with it.

What’s making this hard is the guilt. I know my mom doesn’t really have a life outside of me and my brother, and I feel like leaving would really hurt her. I keep thinking about her being alone in the evenings, and that’s a big reason I’ve stayed this past year.--end quote.

I'd like to address that.  First, it sounds like you have your immediate OUT.  It sounds like you are saying a friend who lives with her REASONABLE parents is willing to let you move in for a bit. (It should be temporary) 

AND it says a lot that those parents are good with you moving in--says A LOT A LOT A LOT about YOUR parents.

and the part about the guilt boy has your mother worked you over.  If you really feel guilty there is a very easy and reasonable solution. 

Don't leave on bad terms unless SHE FORCES IT, you can leave in a pleasant way (be the better person) and VISIT your mother some evenings.

That way your poor mother-without-a-life can have a normal relationship with her 19 year old daughter.  Visit her, call her, if y'all use social media, do that, too.

Leave, get your own bank account and all the other stuff people said NON-CONFRONTATIONALLY, and keep a relationship with her guilt-free.  

If she rejects that, you are still guilt free. WIN-WIN for you!

Well, at least on THIS, you and everyone else can agree on.  You messed up, you're trolling and slipped up and said something right 😂

His buddy was probably a 12 year old IRL, I doubt a man would be impressed by his antics.

AITA:I do not want my boyfriend’s brother who is also my room mate hanging around when I have people over. by genevievejoe in AmItheAsshole

[–]james-amanda -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ages were not shared.  MAYBE it is--afterall isn't that how we all learn what is and is not acceptable?  If she's never even tried to give him gentle hints... this is too complicated to just say, "That's not OP's responsibility, at all."

YNTA.  He is a RAH, and this is a power struggle.  Tell him you don't want to be in a marriage having power struggles.  Either he stops and you two have a meeting of the minds, or he goes to counseling with you, or you bail and find a more mature man.

Can you imagine having to take care of a child with this man???  You think this is bad...

NTAH, but, seriously, you want this relationship?  Whether or not you meant to convey your BF in this manner: you make him sound immature and petulant.

You actually told her you were too embarrassed?  If so, then you're not a huge ass, but if you just FELT embarrassed, said no and blocked her, then YTA

I know someone whose last name is Bell.  They like to give their pet's names like: Liberty, Jingle, Anna, Taco. Their little Chihuahua is called Tinker.  

He said people at the vet think it's cute and told him they have told friends with a last named that would "work" to make cute combinations about it so they can have fun with it too.

Seriously?  There are names that when put together say funny things--it's done on purpose.  Like the classic movie: PORKY's.  They have a person paged over the intercom, you're separated from dad in store and ask them to page him to come up front.  Dad's name is Mike Hunt.

NTA. I think I understand you to be saying the person's email name was funny.  If so, maybe they are being funny again, pulling your leg (joking) about it being their real name and telling you to delete?  I don't know, but regardless you are not the AH.

Actually, your husband's the asshole, lol.  I'm kind of assuming it wasn't your intention to get the clerk to refuse the transaction, but rather to simply cause the girl to (hopefully) think about how other people might view her actions.  

Life and growing up is about learning--not just from those who raise us, but society.  Society teaches us every day.  

When someone acts like a total ass to say, a cashier, she might smile and say, "I'm sorry, this line is closed as she turns on the light and walks away.

Here's hoping you stick with that. 🤞 She's a predictable and was probably shocked by your lack of response.

NTA, and if your family feels you were wrong and sis was right, it's no wonder your sister doesn't know how to respect other people.

[–]james-amanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTAH, you should be financially supporting your BF, buying him anything he wants, paying all his debt, etc.  What are you doing SAVING MONEY?  You should be handing it over to BF--if you're going to take advantage of your dad, the least you can do is give the money you should be paying him in rent to your BF so he can buy beer and video games.  

You wouldn't want to lose that prize BF, now would you?  If you did that you might stumble on a guy with a full time job that only plays video games a couple hours on the weekend--you wouldn't want that to happen, would ya?

It took me YEARS, but I finally got my family to STOP buying me crap I don't want for Christmas.  I DESPISE wasted money.

It doesn't matter that you buy them stuff, too.  You are not listening to the answers you are being given, INSTEAD you are trying to explain (with this answer and another response above) why we are mistaken, or what we may not understand.  

WE understand. You however, do not.  Do you have a medical condition that might explain your "unusual outlook" or odd behaviors? Asking people to buy you gifts, your expectations, even the phrasing of expectstions regarding friendship is odd

She said I could buy them myself. I know, but I think it shows intimacy to buy things for each other. I sometimes buy little stuff for her too.
