    I screwed up really badly, and desperately need y’alls advice. You’ve never done me wrong in the past.

    Here’s what happened.
    My mom noticed I came upstairs too early and asked me if I had eaten and packed lunch. I told her yes, like I always do. This time, she checked, and when she found no cereal bowl on the counter, and my empty lunch box, she confronted me. After a lot of screaming, my dad walked in, and took her side. We reached the conclusion when I yelled that if no one was getting into the car to take me to school, I was going to drive myself and leave the car in the street (so dad drove me in silence).
    The general consensus was that they know I’m lying about packing/buying (I told them I buy if I don’t pack) lunch.
    I really don’t know what to do here. The first issue is that my parents are HELLA mad at me. The second is that they counted the large bills in my wallet, and also have access to my credit accounts, and will be checking if I buy today (I can’t buy, though). The third, slightly less pressing issue is that the weather is getting warm, and my long sleeved shirts and hoodies are getting suspicious.

    Oh, and also, I never want to speak to my parents again.

    Mood : Infuriated
    • I think you’re approaching a metaphorical fork in the road. You have two ”roads” to go down. The first option is you do whatever your parents want even if it’s killing you. Start eating more than one meal a day, use some other tactic to handle the consequences, and find a way to make it up to them for what you did before. The second option is the disloyal route: You start making plans to move out as a contingency plan, you get more clever about hiding the fact you’re not eating, and become a better liar. Either way, you’re probably hurting yourself. I don’t know what’s most important to you, but ultimately the choice is yours and all I can do is offer advice. I hope that helps…

    • Please eat, stay healthy and take care of yourself @985921sqh, your parents have no right to scream, argue and shout at you Echo, they should realise that you are struggling and do their best to support and help you, please look after yourself Echo, don’t starve yourself Echo, try to eat so you can keep yourself going Echo, I want to see you feeling good Echo, I care about you and want the best for you, it’s totally your choice what you choose to do, but remember to always be kind to the one person who matters physically, mentally and emotionally and that is you Echo, hope things work out sweetie, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent Echo, stay strong, you are never alone :) (hugs)

    • Thank you so much, @oliver and @the-ghost-of-nobody.
