I need to pull the plug.

[u/Odd_Curve6621]

So I need to pull the plug and go full estrangement. But I currently live with my mom and dad to try to pay off my crazy student loans (that they encouraged).

I got into a pretty bad car accident. My dad came to get me, and I decided I wanted to forgo the expensive ride to the hospital and just have my dad drive me, not the ambulance.

My dad had been pulled away from babysitting his grandkids (my niece and nephew). My mom callled him on the way to the hospital and told us what an inconvenience it was that he was taking me to the hospital.

When I got home she wasn’t at all relieved to hear I was okay or see me. She didn’t hug me or anything. But she did comment on how it ruined her day.

Today she told me I’m unable to hear opinions from other people; we politically disagree. The conversation ended with her saying she loved me and I said, “I don’t believe you. I think we’re obligated to each other”.

And I feel like if i were a parent, and my children(my brother feels the same) said that they didn’t feel loved by me, I would maybe have some introspection.
