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

Post image

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

I try my best to just stay quiet when it happens, so many times do I think I have a point and I just keep it to myself, some other user asked about "physical strength" which I mentioned the scuttle we got in, she layed her hands on me and got mad at me for defending myself, which has happened multiple times before, not often but 5-6 times.

I know this is a sub for teens, but it came across my feed.

I'm a mom myself, and what your mom is doing is abusive. I'm so sorry. Talk to a trusted adult, possibly a school counselor or teacher, if you can.

You can tell her, your "bully" destroyed it when he made fun of you having it on. And you can throw it away.

So that sounds like abuse. Threaten to call police, not over the hoodie, but over the fact she chose violence and the fact she sounds narcissistic

Weird thing was she threatened to call the cops on me last time...is that okay? She came onto me first, I only yelled a bit cause I was getting upset and she started attacking me

She is trying to scare you with the police. She knows what she is doing is wrong

Record her. She puts her hands on you, she will be the one in trouble no matter what

That. And at least in adulthood if OP will want to go no contact with her, if they'll be able to gather the evidence they can try for restraining order. Because - coming from someone growing up in such environment as OP - she most certainly WILL try to control his life still even as an adult

Shes abusive...try recording as much of these interactions as you can.. Shes intimidatingbyoi with the cops but they would go after her if anything.
