AITA 20F trying to keep a grudge against my parents 53F & M?
I (20F) got into a fight with my mom the other night. It was about my college final project and making deadlines on time. I’ve never been the best student due to my struggles with mental health. My father wasn’t around much because he was constantly away on business trips. He loves us a lot, and I can see he’s trying to change now with my youngest brother. My parents’ marriage is complicated. They fought a lot all the time. Because of that i think he always tries to agree with her now. I struggle turning my work in on time and got diagnosed with like clinical perfectionism. ONLY through the help of my mom was I able to do all this and now be wrapping up my 2 final projects. I had a deadline for 9 a.m. today.Throughout working on this project I hadn’t been communicating with my mom, no matter how many times she asked for progress updates. I was vague and kept saying it was almost done so I could keep working. She didn’t want me to keep working on it and kept telling me to turn it in. It really wasn’t done though, but I had been telling her the opposite. So I pulled an all-nighter. Around 4 a.m. she got up and came into my room telling me to turn it in. I said I wasn’t going to until I finished it and would do so before the deadline. She was pissed and started yelling. I’m really stubborn when I’m mad too, so I kept responding I was going to keep working
She came in and sat on my bed, tried yanking my laptop from me. I held onto it, she tried again harder and I still held it. She said she would submit it herself as can my email and school account. I said then I’d just delete it after she submitted i, She started yelling beofre tossing? blankets as was leaving the bed and some hit me when she did that. It wasn’t hard and not on purpose but it still felt like it hurt a little. She went into my dad’s room yelling about me and my dad. She came back and told me I had serious problems, that I was like a drug addict, and that I was going to fail I was upset but focused on finishing my project, and I submitted it at 8. My dad came in soon after. I was so mad at my mom and was a little snappy at him. I started crying when me to understand my mom’s side. I said he always takes her side. He sarcastically said “what you want me to talk to her about it” I did but i said “no and just wished you would at least tell me it wasn’t okay she did that.” He went silent before saying it wasn’t okay, but it felt too late
Now I’m still trying to hold onto the anger and keep a grudge. I know I was in the wrong too for not being honest but I’m tired of having to pretend the next day that it never happened. My dad had to leave for a business trip today and I want to keep being mad at her and him a little even though I’m not anymore. I just can’t take the yelling anymore.
