Advice My mother keeps insisting I wear this hoodie, cause she bought it

I can't stand it, partially because it had something to do with a baby shower which was before I was born anyway

But mostly because it's AI slop, probably made in a sweatshop, and it's not even that warm or comfortable

Any reason I give is instantly shut down, per usual

You better get your head on straight when it comes to this because this won’t ever stop simply because you’re an adult in the future. If you allow her to control you she will. This is textbook controlling behavior and if you’re too afraid to stick up for yourself it’ll continue indefinitely.

With some parents it will continue even when you learn to stick up for yourself unfortunately. I am forced to leave town to be finally able to go no contact with mine, bc staying in the same one as them? They'll always force themselves in and try to put the blame on you.
