My dad wants me to mediate. My mom wants me to hid stuff for her. My dad wants me to take his side and gets mad if I don’t. My mom vents to me and gives me the silent treatment/is passive aggressive if I tell her I don’t agree with her.
I’ve told them both how I feel and they say they’ll stop, but they don’t.
They are honestly the reason I have no friends. This was my biggest issues as a child, but I couldn’t tell anyone why I’d go to class sad. If I did, they’d tell their parents, who would tell other parents, then it would get back to mine and I couldn’t embarrass them like that. “Other people don’t need to know our business” they would tell me. So instead of hiding my issues, I hid myself. I never invited anyone over to my house because I was always afraid my parents would argue in front of them.
The newest issue (if anyone cares to read): my dad doesn’t like to give my mom money. So I have (read: she begs me) to pay for things sometimes. Today I paid for her to see an electrologist. My mom made us all install a tracking app on our phones so my dad saw that she left. He asked her where she went and she lied and told him that I was the one who went, not her. Well he obviously doesn’t believe her because the app shows that I was home. She wants me to turn off my location as “proof” and I told her it would tell him that I turned it off. Well now she’s mad at me and left the house for a bit. Didn’t even say goodbye or tell me she was leaving.
I can't afford rent right now as I don't make much. So any tips on how to deal with it please.
