how do i confront my mother about her being a lier?
for the record, im fifteen and my mother is a single mother.
i recently found out she has been using drugs almost excessively for about six years without me knowing and yes, i am aware im not her mother and that im not entitled to know everything she gets up to but how am i supposed to be honest to her when she isnt honest to me?
i also found out that she lied about how long we had to move house. she found out over a year ago that we were going to be evicted yet she told me over the phone six months later instead. i dont understand why she would keep that a secret for six months.
we havent been evicted because of rent or bad behaviour, our landlord hates being a landlord so he wants his properties back.
my friend believes that she didnt tell me these things to protect me but im strong, i know that. im not fragile and im not someone whos overly anxious or worried. my head is pretty screwed on and id say that i am mature and capable to handle things like this so i dont understand why she keeps secrets from me.
From a practical angle, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do That’s the impression it gives me.
Reaction: very shocking
Not gonna lie, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where people will push back Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Honestly, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting.
If we’re being honest, the way this is presented changes how it lands so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up.
this comes across more reactive than planned That’s the impression it gives me.
this depends heavily on what happens next Feels like there’s more coming here. Others will probably see it differently.
If we’re being honest, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet.
Just reading this, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where it gets complicated Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
I get the idea, the main issue seems to be how this is handled That part stands out. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
If you zoom out, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which makes the reaction pretty predictable Let’s see what happens next. That’s the impression it gives me.
