My mom just burst into my room demanding I give her my computer so she can "spot check" it. This is something my mom does almost every month and I HATE IT. She logs into all my accounts, hounds me for things like passwords and websites. Checks my history (I get grounded if I delete any of it), and deletes anything she finds "shady". One time, she did a spot check as I was downloading Minecraft. Seems like no big deal, right? WRONG. My mom thought I was downloading some kind of spyware, proceeded to cancel the download, delete the installer and take my computer away for a month. Let me just clarify something here. MY computer, as in I bought it, with MY money that I had to save for 10 years. And my mom comes barging in and takes it like it's hers. At the end of the month, when I got my computer back, I found that she reset it to factory defaults with a little notepad on it that said:
"Think twice before pulling shit like that again"
I had important things on that computer. Things that, if I lost, WOULD TURN MY LIFE INTO A LIVING HELL. Schedules, passwords (encrypted, of course), important programs, and even projects that I couldn't replace.
Let me get to why I'm super pissed right now. My mom just pulled the WORST stunt she ever did. Before I do that, I should explain something about my mom. She is one of the most toxic people I've ever met. She'll treat you like shit and then say you treated her like shit. She'll lie and deceive her way to gain your trust, then use you for it. She'll always make sure you feel like NOTHING compared to her. But anyway, she burst into my room not too long ago and demanded a spot check, so not wanting a massive hassle I just gave her my computer and told her to knock herself out. Well she went through my computer, and found out that I had a notification for a website called itch.io. She, of course, didn't know what that website was so she burst BACK into my room and demanded she know what it was. I told her a game I was following was updated and it was no big deal. Well apparently it was a big deal. She flipped her lid. The threw my computer onto my desk and demanded I log into itch.io and show her the game. So i did. I showed her the game and told her it really was no big deal. She still didn't think so. She demanded I give her my account details (which she already had, keep that in mind). I told her I didn't want to give them to her because she already had them. Well apparently that was the wrong answer. She picked my computer up off my desk, and dropped it on the floor, then stomped out of my room. Fortunately my computer didn't sustain too much damage, but the screen is cracked and a few of the keys don't work. BUT I'M STILL PISSED.
My mom feels like she can pull shit like this, and still have the unconditional love and trust from her kids, and honestly I stopped trusting her years ago, and I really don't have that unconditional love a child should have for his parent. I've told her before and I'm sure I'll have to tell her again, she needs to change her act, or she will never hear from me again after I move out. I'm sick and tired of dealing with her shit.
Edit: so I've decided to make an edit with answers to questions i keep getting
Q.If your mom monitors everything, how are you on reddit? A.I am using an old iPhone that my mom thought I threw out. I wiped the phone and kept it for emergencies.
Q.Is your dad present? If so is he doing anything to ease the situation? A. Yes, my father is present. He has been taking my mom to therapy for the past year and has recently been taking is to family counseling.
Q.Do you have any nearby relatives you could run away to? A. I do have relatives, but because my dad is in the military they live halfway across the country.
Q. Have you tried talking to your mom about the situation? A. Yes. After we both calmed down, I approached her about the situation and we agreed that something has to change. How and when it will change, I do not know.
Edit 2: There have been a few people calling bullshit because of a few facts I've left quite vague. Either on accident or on purpose. For one, yes, I did save money for 10 years to buy a laptop. I'm 16, which means I would've been 5 or 6 when I started saving. When I was a little kid, my mom had a brick of a laptop that I was allowed to use for educational games. Pj Sam, Freddie the Fish, you know what games. But one day I asked my mom if I could ever get a laptop of my own. She said:
"Sure, if you save up enough money to buy one yourself.", but as she walked away I heard her scoff and day "but that'll never happen". I then made it my personal mission to save up enough money to buy a good quality laptop. Saving up birthday and Christmas money for 10 years.
Another thing: the iPhone. I've told people on here (and in the first edit) that I've been using an old iPhone for reddit. Well, that's both a truth and a lie. I have been using an old device, but it's not a phone. I've been using an old iPod Touch that one of my friends gave me just in case I lost my phone or my laptop so I'd still have internet access. I realize now that was a stupid thing to embellish l, and I'm sorry if now none of you trust the rest of what I've said. I apologize for any confusion and/or chaos I've caused.
Hope I cleared things up for anyone out there.
