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 would, I really want to wear just whatever I like, but when I wear something, she gets on me "You're not leaving the house like that" same thing with my hair, want it longer, she wants me to be this image I honestly don't think I like.

Tell her to fuckin kick rocks dude. Who cares what she thinks? You’re basically a grown man at this point. She can’t MAKE you do anything.

Is she physically forcing the hoodie onto your body? Or just telling you what to do? Just say no. And repeat it over and over. When she tries to cut your hair, swat the clippers away. Don’t sit down in the chair. Just stand up for yourself dude.

Unless she’s somehow larger than you, what can she realistically do? If she lays hands on you, do what you need to do to defend yourself and the call the cops asap. Try to record everything you can.
