Rant incoming here, I just need to vent. My parents just went on holiday and got back today. Whilst they were away I accidentally broke a household appliance. Just something which can be replaced for £50 or less. My mother got really cross about it and acted as if I have committed a crime. And she tells me that my story about the way I broke it sounds like bullshit.
I don't want to share exact details about what happened. I'm just overly cautious about revealing something that would make it apparent to someone reading this thread who I am, in the really unlikely event that someone I know happens to read this somehow and knows who I am. Because many of my friends and family already know what happened.
But my story is more than plausible, and why the hell would I lie? I'm admitting that I was the one who broke it!
Every time I do anything wrong my mother overreact and huffs and puffs and acts as if it's the worst thing in the world. And then she gets all passive aggressive about it for ages, and then we forget about it and go on as normal eventually. But never apologises. And then will passively aggressively bring it up casually when someone else is around 'oh we cant use that at the moment because AnonymousSN broke it' just to make me feel even more small. Sick of being treated like a child, and having over the top reactions to every little thing I do, and then never getting an apology.
Sometimes in the past I have lied about something bad I did to get out of taking the blame, so maybe that's why she instantly thought I was lying even though there would be literally no benefit. Do you know one reason why some dogs sometimes eat their own poop? It's because they've been shouted at or abused in the past for doing it somewhere they shouldn't. And that's why I have in the past not always been truthful with her. I never tell lies to my Dad, and it's because he will react rationally when i do something wrong, and won't make me feel small about it. Lies i told during my childhood have direct roots from her behaviour as a mother.
