[–] Porphyrogennetos ago  (edited ago)

This happened to me as a kid.

I worked as a baseball umpire when I was 13 years old for kids that were 11-12. It was a little weird being that close in age to the kids I was umpiring, but it was the hardest that I had worked for anything before.

My mom deposited the checks into her account since I didn't have one.

At the end of the summer I asked for the money I had made since I had simply just given her the money to hold.

She had the audacity to tell me that I had spent it all. I told her no, I gave it all to you to hold until I asked for it. She told me I had already done so and spent it. I knew she was lying because I had tracked my earnings on a piece of paper in my dresser. She owed me over 300 dollars. That is a FORTUNE to a 13 year old.

I stopped trusting my mother in money matters ever again, right there, when I was 13 years old.

This event actually really shook my ability to truly trust others in anything (who can you trust if you can't trust your moms?), and I still don't truly trust my mom without some subconscious thought telling me she's going to fuck it up or fuck me over.
