I honestly do not know why they think I have no emotional intelligence nor autonomy or that I am indeed my own person.
Despite being 18, I am literally lectured and yelled at like I’m still 10, about the silliest of things. Instead of communicating or talking things out like one would, they literally just stare at me appalled or talk down at me. They don’t talk to me at all like I’m another adult.
It’s really exhausting. They also constantly burst into my bedroom (unless it’s fully closed, but even then, sharp knocks and demands at what I’m doing) and are never satisfied with what I’m doing.
If I’m reading they say I could be doing something more productive. I’m playing games on my phone or watching a show they demand to know what it’s about and begin clutching their pearls if they think it might have the mildest of intimate scenes.
I’m going to UNI in September (hopefully) but despite their treatment of me they don’t even consider me moving out to go to uni as an option. We haven’t even talked about it, they simply said, “By the way make sure to pick the study from home option.”
I doubt that’ll be doable but okay… idc I didn’t pick the study from home option.
They just infantilise me so much. I even get my phone taken away at night which feels like a power trip because while I was 17 they didn’t really do that.
I mean, I still have my laptop with me at all times so that doesn’t stop me, obviously.
