r/EntitledParents MY MOTHER WENT CRAZY OVER THIS?! - Reddit Stories

today we have a crazy entitled family story  that is way too concerned about who op sleeps   with we'll get into that in a bit but first mom  got scammed again and now I'm done I've posted   here before so maybe this is an update of sorts  my 68-year-old mother is losing her mind has been   for a while now we knew she had been conversing  with several people online for over a year most   of which claimed to be famous men and all of which  needed money for various things we'd been telling   her since December that she was being scammed  tried involving DHR and the agency who helps   protect seniors all falling on deaf ears courts  won't do anything without a medical diagnosis   neurologist appointments take months so we're just  stuck trying to keep her from self-destructing   until then end of February she finally admits she  needs help actually she called my brother and said   she was broke and he needed to fix it but we'll  say that that was asking for help per the bank her   home was a few hours from going into foreclosure  on the day we got the call from her and her   utilities were turned off the very next week she  has over $100,000 in credit card debt most of it   from sending these men pictures of every single  credit card she has she also gave them all of   her bank account information and sent at least  $30,000 in cash via Bitcoin ATMs or prepaid gift   cards I'm not sure I'll ever know exactly what  she spent on them but I do know she owes $7,000   in taxes this year from all the withdrawals she  made to her retirement which she freely admits   she sent to these men she also still swears every  one of them are actually all the celebrities they   claim to be and still truly believes one of them  is the love of her life my brother and I told her   the only way we'd help is if she gave us power of  attorney which she did we then caught up her house   payments and reconnected the utilities I've been  going through her bills as I pay all of them and   trying to help her budget including finding her  cheaper Internet TV and cell phone plans so she'll   be able to pay her own bills going forward on her  fixed income she has been yawned nasty to me every   step of the way telling me what a disappointment I  am and she wishes I was never born there have been   suicide threats to which she laughed in my face  and told the police she would never do anything   that dramatic she calls me almost daily and tells  me she fell only for myself or the ambulance to   rush over and have her admit she wasn't actually  hurt but was hoping a trip to the ER would get her   pain meds I took her phone created a new Apple  ID and had it set so she couldn't text or call   anyone not saved in her contacts and she can't add  people or numbers or apps without my approval only   thing short of changing her number I could do to  stop her contact with these scammers she adamantly   refused to change the number because she's had  that one for 30 plus years but she's still been   getting hundreds of texts from six-digit numbers  I'm guessing because she responded to them in the   past so they were able to get around the block  I've told her a thousand times not to even open   them delete them or send them to junk she had  had hip replacement surgery this past week while   in the hospital she received a text telling her  she want a free oxygen machine call this number   to claim your prize she texts me and tells me she  needs to add this number to her phone because it's   a home health medical equipment company and she  wants to talk to them about Life Alert so I add   their number she calls and they tell her she just  needs to give them her bank account information   to cover the shipping and she gives it to them  then she calls to Crow about her winnings I call   the same number and what do you know I'm also an  instant winner if I will just give them my bank   account information H zero to speak with a person  and now I've won a free year of Direct TV hit zero   again and now I won a free year of pest control  from Terminix if I just enter my bank account in   PH so a total scam that my mother has again fallen  for while laying in her hospital bed recovering   from surgery like the last two months didn't  happen like she has learned nothing from this   whole experience she does not even need need an  oxygen machine but decided that since her parents   had breathing issues at the end of their lives and  because it was free this opportunity was too good   to pass up in case she needs one later she tells  me to just call them back and cancel because I'm   sure the kind phone scammers will totally forget  your bank account if I just ask nicely beyond a   shadow of a doubt she's been showing signs of  progressive dementia and is that moderate SL   moderately severe cognitive decline on the staging  models so I get it this is the new normal for her   she no longer possesses the mental capacity to  understand real from fake and she'll continue to   fall for stuff like this as long as she's alive  and I can't do anything to stop it I can just   crawl along behind her and try to fix it while  hoping she shows up to the neuro in May so I can   get the courts to intervene she will always be a  danger to herself and her own well-being with the   added bonus of being awful to me every step of the  way so I've decided I'm done trying to save her   from herself I'm opening another new bank account  for her tomorrow and putting what little money she   still has in it I've turned off all the automatic  payments that have been coming out of my account   and will be turning off all of the parental  controls I had established on her Electronics   then I'm telling her good luck don't call me when  you're on fire again and then I'm blocking her on   my phone my brother and I believe she'll be in  a mess again by the 4th of July her problem not   ours I've had a heart issue for 2 years now  inappropriate sinus Tech cardia that isn't   responding to medications both of my cardiologists  have told me that stress is exacerbating my   condition I've lost 25 PBS over the last 3 months  which I'm also chalking up to stress I literally   cannot explain the peace I feel in my soul tonight  knowing that I've done everything I could for this   woman and now I just get to be done tomorrow it's  complicated and sad and frustrating because oh   how I've tried to help her and I know how this  will end but it's also so very calming to know   that I'm done I'm free I feel for op if I were in  their shoes I'd feel terrible there's always just   something innate about people who get scammed  and fall for these scams routinely when they're   thinking oh there's going to be some free item  I'm getting that just tugs on my heartstrings   it tugs a little less when they just keep falling  for it but at that point it just makes me worried   that they have something going on mentally in  which they cannot learn from their mistakes   like surely some normal rational human being that  still has full cognitive ability they might make   a mistake like that once maybe twice but surely a  fully cognitive person is not going to keep making   that same mistake over and over and over and over  again fairy kid wrote I read your post holy crap   she is off the rails it's hard to tell what is  causing it but I wouldn't be surprised if it was   something like dementia you've done everything  you can unfortunately there comes a time when   you need to do what you can to save yourself as  the saying goes you can lead a horse to water but   you can't make it drink our next story is ticket  sites say strictly 15 plus of course I'll bring   my baby to an adult comedy show and then complain  to the media when I get kicked out I will say it   should have been on the venue to ask the woman to  leave when the baby started becoming a disruption   instead of arch having to do it but at the end of  the day do not take your babies to shows that have   strict age rules and then complain when you're  asked to leave arge was right what about the   other 700 people who paid for a ticket who brings  a baby to a comedy show for adults anyway just   get a babysitter or don't go update the mom just  appeared on ACA and the baby was disruptive and   loudly crying through the whole interview despite  the woman trying to breastfeed the baby to keep it   quiet and that's in a completely quiet recording  situation you can just imagine what it would have   been like in a loud theater there's things  that I'm kind of conflicted and hung up about   on things like this because one I get that people  who still have to take care of their baby may want   to be able to partake in some stuff but I think  it just revolves around to being not considerate   enough for literally every other person that's  in that place Mr latchi G wrote so firstly she's   claiming that she was asked to leave because  of breastfeeding which is just utter freaking   nonsense if she was breastfeeding the kid would  have kept quiet another argument that the mother's   Brigade has been rolling out over social media is  the oh wo is me is there nowhere I can go with my   baby the answer to that is yes there is is there  are plenty of places you can go Wiggles concerts   are filled with toddlers and babies go to the park  the beach pretty much anywhere in public you can   take your child the only time it's an issue is  when you take them somewhere inappropriate like   a comedy show or a movie where the volume scares  the poor kid and they start crying thereby ruining   the experience for the other people who are  there secondly apparently babies are allowed   but the parents are asked to sit in the back so  if the child starts fussing they can leave quickly   and easily she did not do that she was sat at the  front thirdly she said she had the baby at a Dave   Hughes performance and it went fine they even said  he worked it into his routine okay so you know   it's a distraction for the comedian performing  and you decided to do it again I've not been to   an arge Barker show but I know that he does tend  to do a short pause before dropping a punchline   as many comedians do a baby crying or making  noise would certainly disrupt that especially if   the audience is quiet waiting for the punchline  for fourthly why not just get a babysitter easy   enough to do just pump some milk and done probably  don't need more than a bottle or two you're only   gone for two to 3 hours tops happens all the  time in daycare centers so yeah if your child   isn't ready to transition to a bottle then perhaps  they aren't ready for a freaking comedy show I had   a dear friend recently declined an invitation to  an event because she had a four-month-old and knew   it would be a nightmare because he wasn't ready  for an event they had done a trial by going to   one of their parents houses for dinner and yeah  didn't work out so well so she declined because   of that that is a responsible mother this comedy  show attending mother not so much finally she's a   selfish individual who was more than happy to  ruin the experience for everybody else in the   audience and even when asked to leave and offered  a refund still took to the media and put them on   blast no lady you're the one who should be on  blast leave your kids in home our next story is   update 2 entitled mother-in-law can't believe she  will have to pay for her own housing we moved her   into the apartment a week ago it's been so nice to  have our peace and quiet back we deep cleaned the   room in bathroom she used so gross so everything  is great for us but of course she's already   trying to sabotage the situation as for the moving  process she acted like she was weak and dying the   whole time we did it all for her including finding  her a really nice used recliner chair she paid for   it but didn't come to the store with us because  she was so weak she got a great setup but she   still hasn't slept at all and doesn't like it now  she doesn't even like the recliner for unspecified   reasons claiming her old one was better it was so  dirty when she moved in with us that we wouldn't   allow it to come inside we eventually tossed it  the new one is categorically better here's the   worst part it's a no smoking building it's in big  bold text in the lease she knows this she hasn't   smoked inside in a long time anyway so we figured  she's used to it and I wasn't going to let her   turn down the apartment because of it we found  a cheap table and set up a smoking area outside   away from the building and where she doesn't have  to do any steps up or down one neighbors already   talked to her about smoke coming in his window  and move the table further out so I already know   someone in the building isn't cool with smoke we  went one morning to bring her some things and she   was outside smoking but as soon as she saw us she  said guys I smoked inside I guess she knew we'd   be able to tell from the smell she played dumb  about the rule and we reiterated it very clearly   cly and reiterated in no uncertain terms that if  she gets kicked out she will not move back in with   us she claims some guys told her that everyone  smokes inside and they don't care husband went   over again a few days later and she was clearly  about to light up inside but claimed she was just   getting ready to go outside then yesterday we  talked to her about it again and she just kept   making excuses what about when it snows and rains  it's spring and very dry here why is that relevant   well in the morning morning I need a cigarette and  my coffee and I have to do my pills I guess it's   too hard to go outside somewhere in that sequence  of events my husband and I both lost our cool if   you get your dumb butt kicked out you're going  to be homeless you won't just be smoking in the   rain and snow you'll be living in it it's like she  supposedly hears us but either doesn't believe us   or literally is so screwed up in her brain that  she thinks her need to smoke a cigarette inside   is actually more important than ensuring she has  a roof over her head H I feel for op because you   can tell how much they do care they're still going  over there and trying to help as much as they can   how exhausting must it be to see somebody that  you've helped out so much continue to disregard   the main advice you're trying to give them and  risk ending up thrown out on the street and   knowing you're going to have to just accept that  affectionate tap 1967 wrote she is deliberately   smoking inside to get herself evicted so she can  move back in with you our next story is my dad is   claiming I'm keeping his granddaughter from him  I have a beautiful 2 and 1 half-month old baby my   dad started fighting with me because I refuse to  leave her alone with him until he shows me he can   take care of her change diaper feed from bottle  warm up breast milk Etc we had a huge fight there   was yelling and when I told him the next day that  I can't do this anymore because it's preventing   me from caring for my baby properly he complained  that I'm putting her over my relationships with   him duh so I told him she is more important and  I will talk to him when he doesn't need me 24/7   and blocked him my mom came over a few times the  next week and eventually asked if she can come   over with my dad so he can see her I said yes he  came over through a fit that she's asleep and left   the next day I was at my parents house with her  while my dad was at work I was downstairs in the   living room with her when he came back home early  my mom offered him to wash his hands and hold her   something we also fought over and he just stomped  angrily upstairs and when mom went to talk to him   he apparently wanted her to bring my baby to him  without me I obviously refused because she's so   small and I don't trust him even with Mom's  supervision and he's now claiming I'm keeping   her away from him to be honest maybe I should edit  I require anyone and everyone who wants to help   with my daughter to show me that they can care for  her taking care of a baby especially an infant has   changed so much in the past 10 years let alone  the 30 years since I was that age all of the   other grandparents my mom and in-laws were happy  to help around and didn't mind having to show me   that they can care for her my dad is the only one  who refused and was insulted by it he wouldn't   even change her diaper regardless of how I phrased  it if you won't show me that he can care for her   while I'm away for an hour then I can't trust him  additionally in this specific case he insisted I   stay out of the room while he holds her which is  just a very strange request I wasn't keeping her   away from him he was wcome to hold her under my  supervision he just refused to have me there so   I didn't let him hold her if something does not  seem right to you especially in regards to your   2 and 1 12-month-old kid and especially the people  who are supposedly taking care of them or looking   after them I don't blame op for turning anybody  away in that situation Milo marai 68 wrote tell   them I grew up your house your rules that's fine  you need to understand my baby my rules if not   following them keeps you from her that's on you  not me our next story is told my entire family   that they should not concern me with who I freak I  18-year-old male was in a high school relationship   for over 4 years when I was 13 to 17 years old it  was highly toxic during these times together I was   miserable her 19-year-old female family hated me  so bad for no apparent reason however my family   really liked this girl like really liked her they  would always ask ask about her and I guess it was   nice having your family like your partner but  at the time I was hiding the fact that I was   completely miserable with her my dad 49-year-old  male liked her because she's also a Catholic my   stepmom 34-year-old female liked her because she  can cook my little sisters liked her because she   had many Palms she would bring with her every  time she comes over the only one who understood   me was my mom 45-year-old female I live with her  so I guess she could tell whenever I get stressed   because of the relationship and she could see  that I wasn't really happy with her although   my mom never told me to break up with her just  that to make sure I was happy myself I broke up   with her long story short fast forward to a few  months later to last October and I met a new girl   one thing to describe her she genuinely makes  me the happiest person on Earth due to multiple   things my mom could tell she makes me really  happy and I just look better than I was with   my ex however the more I talk about her to my dad  and stepmom the more I realized they may not be as   happy with my newfound girl they wouldn't listen  to my stories about her like they would excitedly   get about my ex but then my dad told our entire  family about how he doesn't like this new girl   and even got his brother my uncle to try to get  me to stay away from her they tried setting me   up with multiple girls and every time we go out  together and there's a girl that seems to be my   age they would try to get me to walk up to her to  get her number and to just hang out cuz complete   disregard of my current girlfriend they thought  that I was that desperate for girls and that I   just don't like being chosen who I'm with which I  think is my complete choice just angered me even   my Boomer Grandpa told me he's okay with anyone so  long as they make me happy we were having dinner a   few weeks ago with the whole extended family and  when we were at the dinner table they told me to   find someone better and someone who fits me better  after dinner we went to the living room and sat   there they dad and uncle cornered again about  girls and how I should find a better one that   got me to my breaking point and I just stood up  and said why does it concern you who I do and do   not freak and trust me I did emphasize on the FW  then the whole room became quiet until my grandpa   laughed and told my family that they shouldn't  care too much about this stuff my dad brought   me to the yard and we had a massive argument and  he told me I had embarrassed him in front of the   whole family and that I should go home and think  about what I'd done so I drove home and so that   was it I haven't talked to him or went back to his  house so what do love the fact that my dad thinks   I have all the Riz to walk up to any girl and get  her number may have worked for you when you were   younger and was living in a town with a population  of 10 the reason why my dad hates her is unclear   although he told my mom about it apparently and  my mom told me that I shouldn't worry because   it's not a big deal I have told my girlfriend  about this I tried keeping her away from this   at first but then I realized how she might appre  appreciate to know because I know how much being   hated by your future in-laws feel I told her while  it would make me really sad she was welcome to   leave or stay depending on how she feels and if  she stayed I will fight for her until I enter my   grave we teared up together and it kept her up for  a few nights but it was fine after a while she's   the best everything I have to say is completely  in line with what freakout 1015 wrote they said   if she makes you happy that's all that matters I'm  assuming she's a good person or you wouldn't be   with her maybe you should go low contact with the  rest of your family for a while except for Grandpa   and listen to Mom she knows the score good thing  you live with her and not your dad our next story   is parents not letting me move out 23-year-old  female need advice currently 23-year-old female   just newly graduated I've been living with  roommates the past few years and it's been hard   for my mental health moving back in with my family  they constantly want to know what I'm doing where   I am track my location Etc and will'll get upset  if I go out too much for context just finished   school 2 weeks ago and I've been hanging out with  my friends SL my boyfriend on the weekends only I   feel like I also walk on eggshells in the house as  my mom has anger problems and every few weeks her   and my dad will have a screaming match SL throw  things at each other Etc and whenever that isn't   happening they make snide remarks and insults at  each other so it's just a matter of time waiting   for the next fight to happen I have about 6,000  in savings and my boyfriend offered to let me move   in with him for 12 50 Canadian dollar a month I'll  be studying for my lure exam for the next 3 months   while working full-time to ensure my savings don't  deplete too fast my parents are very against this   as they think moving in prior to marriage is  wrong and they say I can't take care of myself   slash I'm not good at housework so he won't want  me because I'm useless or I should be financially   independent as a woman first my parents hate that  I'd be giving money to his family as his mom owns   the condo he rents and they're guilt tripping me  into staying saying things like their living off   savings slash their broke family comes first and  I shouldn't give away my hard earned money to some   other person to help pay off their mortgage my  dad doesn't have a good earning job and my mom   is a stay-at-home mom who takes care of the  house they didn't put a single scent towards   my education other than my dad paying gas to drive  me home sometimes during school breaks and helping   me move out of my University house but they're  saying because I'm family and they spend a lot   of money raising me I need to get a job soon  and put that money towards the family to help   they'll be charging me market rent or just below  once I get a nursing job I just want to hear some   unbiased opinions if it's okay for me to move out  I know my parents are toxic but it's also hard to   differentiate what's right and wrong because this  is how I was raised I think at this point in your   life you have to be able to identify what's right  and what's realistic for you I think if in every   way it makes sense that you can support yourself  financially and move in with the boyfriend and   it's seems like a good thing that'll make you  happy you can't let your parents control you   and keep you at home or keep you paying them you  don't really want them to stunt your life when   it's just beginning mcflame 13 wrote move in with  your boyfriend as there's a good chance that when   you move out and since you'll no longer be paying  your controlling parents your mother will have to   get a job to help pay bills I also suggest going  low contact with your parents once you move out   and make sure they have zero access to any of your  accounts our next story is mother goes paranoid   so I'm a 30-year-old male and my mom has changed  over the last year or two when she became a part   of this new Christian Church down the street  from us I thought nothing of it it was closer   and it was pretty enjoyable the pasture there was  cool in a way that I thought he could relate he   built computers and ran a game room on the  side and he liked to drive fast however my   mom took an avid part in the church so  much that she was basically the one to   set up check and oversee everything organized  or ordered and repaired what was the problem   was that now our apartment had become a hub for  almost everyone to come into our private lives as   my mom was heavily raised on an Open Door type of  neighborly attitude and unfortunately this has led   to her being enveloped in every conversation  people would want to have in church groups   including the kind that come of controversial over  a couple of years she changed a lot in her private   habits including what she watched sometimes took  food advice from people at the church and most   importantly began to ask more political questions  while also stating more political idealism around   to me I don't know if she's always believed these  things as I keep my hobbies separate from her and   she's always respected that most of the time it's  because either it opens up to a discussion about   how these activities won't get you anywhere or you  should try to read your Bible more that will help   get you through more than those video games I play  one video game at most and even then I've stopped   playing it recently however one new hobby I've  broken into is D and Dragons a couple of years ago   I ran into a convention room holding a DND event  and I've loved it ever since I started looking   around where I live and found a trading card store  that has DND sessions on a weekly basis joining it   I finally got the social connection I was lacking  for a long time being able to interact with people   my age and enjoyed the same games anime and  whatnot was a breath of fresh air I never   knew I needed not to mention I was able to express  creativity that was sorely hacking it got to the   point where I found the passion to try and start  my own story YouTube channel my mom was supportive   of it finally happy that I was making friends  and going out however as her idealism started to   become more public to me I was getting concerned  that she would become the kind of religious person   with some toxic views this first became noticeable  to me when she asked about my opinion about   teaching gender pronouns to kids I've never heard  her ask about things like this and we always kind   of keep our personal interest to each other unless  one of us asked then it started to get to the   point where she basically volunteered me to work  on the media of my church I usually came along   to church two to three times a month anyway so I  wasn't really upset besides it opened up my love   for photography again however just two days ago I  was printing out something for my DND games it was   basically some guide notes for a one piece themed  DND and I forgot to get it off the printer and my   mom ended up seeing it now I'm sure at this point  some of you know about the stigma Christians have   had with Dungeons and Dragons including a certain  movie trying to demonize it but I never believed   my mom would believe that especially since she  used to play Mortal Kombat with me and my brother   and still loves action movies like taken or Jason  born however I did not trust some of the church   people especially a certain pair so I gave her the  basic explanation of what we were doing a tabletop   role-playing game I had hoped that this would  satisfy her curiosity and also if she told anyone   at the church they wouldn't be too nosy about it  but sadly it would not last as she sees the word   devil from devil fruits and basically goes on a  tangent that I'm inviting evil and negative things   into my soul I tried to explain it to her that  this was just a game that none of it is actually   bringing in evil and the part that I printed out  was actually talking about hakei and how to gain   techniques in using it funnily enough hakei is  training one's will and spirit and I thought   she would see interest in that but unfortunately  that only made it worse as they thought that I   wasn't getting enough Bible reading into me that  I needed to rely on that which I told her wasn't   true seeing all the stigma that I read coming  to life I just shut her out not wanting what   is actually happened to others in this to happen  to me I'd hope that she would remember that this   has been healthy for me because it's allowed me to  socialize and it was constructive not to mention   she still watches action movies with shooting in  it so I don't know where she thinks I'm letting in   evil today however she demands that I come with  her to Bible study night tonight and she wants   me to bring the papers with me I knew where this  was going and it threw me off all day I knew what   her plan was to show this to the church group and  find people to back her up and try to talk me down   like I was on drugs but I stealed myself and told  myself that if she actually did that that I would   just walk out I mean what was she going to do stop  me but it was even worse when we arrived she told   me to go to the youth study group my mind still  hoping that she wasn't going to do this to me   thought she was talking about young adults but no  it was kids and I mean 8-year-olds to 16-year-olds   the only other adult other than the study leader  who was older than me was her 21-year-old son   something inside me snapped I've dealt with a lot  of frustrating things my mom has done but this was   truly the most disrespect I have ever felt in  my life from her she couldn't even give me the   courtesy to have me sit with the old people and do  this no it had to be kids I stormed out holding in   my anger and almost felt compelled to storm into  the chapel and yell at her instead I just went   home where I'm typing this out right now while  she's probably wondering where I am I had a long   SOB about this after complaining about this to my  sister and I'm seriously thinking about moving out   to her if my mom comes home and tries to rip  into me about leaving I don't know what will   happen but I have no intention of being treated  like this and just taking it sadly I think op and   their mom are just so ideologically separated now  I don't know how you're ever going to be able to   be on the same level together anymore and really  it is kind of funny how hypocritical it is where   going to tear apart anything that you're doing  and demonizing it and then turn around and watch   movies with murder in it and say oh no it's fine  it's just it's fake it's not real it takes me back   to when I was a kid and I was really into Yu-Gi-Oh  so I go over to a neighborhood friend and they say   that they can't play it because it has stuff  like spellcraft Wizardry witches that's where   I also discovered they weren't allowed to watch  Harry Potter I thought it was just the craziest   thing but with that being said that's all the time  we have for today now if you want to hear another   absolutely crazy entitled parent story check out  that video on the left or if you missed my latest   video check that video on the right that said  I'll see you all next time with some more stories
