Why do my parents get mad when I spend my money on things that I enjoy?

[BrookieCookie23]

So my parents got mad at me for spending my money on things that I wanted and they said that they don’t trust me anymore because I didn’t ask for permission to spend my money. I’m 20 years old and my parents say that they control my money and then threatened to take all of my money and switch it to my siblings accounts. I’m afraid to sue them because they will act innocent and play the victim card then they will get mad at me and my parents are very much a*usive and I don’t want to get more hurt because of a stupid situation with money.

If you’re irresponsible with money, that’s probably why they’re upset with you. Also, think about this: the more irresponsible you are with money, the more you’ll have to depend on them. You don’t want to have to depend on your parents forever, do you?

Use your money and move out. You're over 18 you're legally an adult. Once your moved out they can't do a damn thing to you legally. You don't have to talk to them ever again.

It would be easy to get proof of what they are doing.

For example, what did you buy?
