I was very happy with the stuff I got for Christmas and admire the hell my parents went through to get some of the stuff. They had planned that I would cook dinner for them and unfortunately that didn’t go as planned

I was chopping the garlic when my mother stepped in to help me.

IM: why are you holding the knife like that?

Me: this is how I hold a knife (I have had culinary experience)

IM takes knife out of my hands

IM: do you even know how to chop garlic?

Me: yes?

IM: just soften the cream cheese in the microwave.

It can be agreed upon to NEVER pull a knife out of a cooks hands unless they are endangering themselves. So I was rightfully pissed.

IM then storms into her bedroom.

I continue cooking dinner until I can’t find the bread crumbs. I tried to improvise by using fried onions.

IM: what are you doing?

Me: I couldn’t find the bread crumbs.

IM throws the tin of bread crumbs at me than storms into the bedroom once again.

My father then left the house because I always end up fighting with my mother every time I come home from college, and he was done with us.

I then left for a cigarette and came back to grab my things and go somewhere to eat clear my head. When I came home every single door was locked and I don’t have a key because she made me return it when I moved out, she let me in and threatened to tell my college that I have alcohol problems and try to get me expelled she then threatened to return the new phone she bought me and she even tried to throw the AirPods that I PAID FOR down the garage disposal.

She keeps telling me that I started it, but I know I didn’t. She keeps telling me that “I’m so critical” and “I don’t care about her” but I have her a gift. I even told her I bought her something and she asked me to return it because I’ve been having money problems recently.

I know I’m right but what do I do???!!!
