My mom wants to set specific times for me to edit, bc I told her I didn't edit much while they were gone, and she looked at me like I told her I killed the dog with a fucking chainsaw. Horrified and unspeakably disappointed. She asked what times I'm most comfortable editing, and every window I gave, she mentioned that I might want to talk to my friends at those times.
She just doesn't want me to have friends anymore. That's fucking it. She says it's not, so long as I balance them w my responsibilities, but then she gets mad if after finishing a video that took three days to do well, I talk with my friend for more than three HOURS. She acts like I'm actively trying to ruin her life by having social connections outside of her.
My friend snapped me and said she thinks her parents might be kicking her out soon, and asked if it's weird to be relieved because it means she won't have to deal w them anymore. I told her it wasn't given all they put her through, but refrained from telling her that I feel the same way. My mom holds the fact that I live here over my head, citing that her parents kicked her out at 18. But they did that, knowing she had somewhere to stay. I don't. And yet?
I fucking WISH she'd kick me out atp. I don't care anymore. I fucking hate it here, and I'd get by just fine with my bag and the skills I've aquired. I don't care if I get a fucking heat stroke, because at least I'd be away from here. I'd find ways to get food, and if I couldn't, at least I might finally lose that fucking weight, huh? My life would suck but at least it would suck on my own terms.
I wish I had the money to get a small, cheap-ass apartment with no furnature. Because at least then, I could work my way up to something good. And then, the only times my mom would fucking talk to me would be for editing these goddamn videos, and she wouldn't be asking for feedback and telling me to do things all the fucking time. Then she'd realize how little she actually cares about me anymore, that she DOES just see me as an unpaid employee, and then she'd leave me the fuck alone.
The closest thing I have to an apartment is the garage. And I can't even go in there without telling her first.
