Take pride. 🌈
My mother just had a discussion with me and asked me if she could trust me. I refused to answer. As a result, I have even less time on my own now, she threatened to put me into an extended stay mental hospital (again), my nephew is no longer coming to see me for the summer, I am not allowed to go upstairs without being accompanied by my parents. Part of the reason why and I continue to do “the thing” is because I do not like feeling manipulated by my parents or trained like a dog.
I would probably try to hang myself if I ever had to enter one of those facilities. Mental hospitals are like prisons, except that the workers treat you like toddlers, not criminals.
My mother basically told me that I was an overprivileged brat who needs to help himself but refuses to do so.
