If the situation is as alleged by the OP, there’s an old saying applicable to his parents…especially the mom that “If the shoe fits…” </p>
<p>Couldn’t agree more.
But I think that could be a big “IF”.
We are only hearing the OP (teen’s) side, not the adults.</p>
<p>Obviously, from the teen’s perspective, his mom is a ‘nutjob’. I’m a poster who did focus on the the language used and commented how sad it is that the OP feels that way.
And it IS very sad, whether the OP is relaying the situation accurately or ‘only’ feels that the situation in his family is so dysfunctional.</p>
<p>FYI, I’m not a fan of self-absorbed adults who display zero parenting ability or responsibility toward their kids. I might be considered a bit on the other edge, learning now how to forge new parent child bonds with our newly adult children. Another stage of parenting.</p>
