Here enjoy my tea:

side note I am as of today 23, in Oct. my brother will be 24. He's not a fucking baby, he can fucking handle himself.

Also, I don't want anyone to think I'm being mean in not giving her money. First, it's not my job. I am the kid. Not the parent. Second, I have extended my help before. What do I get in return? Gaslit. Berated. Abused. No. Not having it anymore, I am putting my foot down. I will maintain my resolve!!

It's less about me not getting paid back, and more of the principle of the thing you know? I mean... you don't do this to your kids. I'm not out of line am I??? I don't think I am.

Also she keeps using suicide threats as manipulation tactics??? Like??? Who the fuck do you think you are??? Go get some fucking help you god damn hag.

And fuck my dad for being an enabler too, you know? I feel like I don't extend enough bitterness about that since it's a relatively recent revaluation and I'm still in denial about it because I just wanted one god damn decent parent but -  

Okay. That's the last of my screenshots. It's just me bitching from here on out.

So. Today. 09/21/21.

My 23rd birthday. Should be fun right? Well, it was, but that's because I was at work and my co-workers are funny and really really nice (slightly embarrassing but that might be because I am not use to attention...)

...

I get home. Atmosphere completely changes. We have cake. Ice cream. Whatever. Mom is mopy. Dad is awkward. My brother doesn't say a word, and we haven't spoken properly since childhood because these two fucked us both up so bad.

But it's okay. Not the worst.

But keep in mind I've been dreading my birthday for days now, the attention at work (but that turned out to be better than expected and I actually liked that part??), spending time with my "family", the inevitable moment when... it would be brought up.

As soon as she leaves with my brother: "I hate to ask again but..." And then my dad proceeds to ask about the money.

And then continues to proceed to act like he's on my side when he's really just enabling her narcissism. "I know you shouldn't have to go through this." "But you really might be her last hope to save the car." 

Right. Cause that cars so important. Because she doesn't get a new one every other tuesday. Please. 🙄

And... yeah, that' that, I guess. I know I'm gonna think of a whole bunch of other shit I wanted to get off my chest after I post this, but I'm just tired now so I'll save it for a different post on a different day I guess.

Um.

Hope you enjoyed my family drama
