During adolescence, OP found herself struggling with a frustrating lack of financial autonomy. Despite recently taking on a job and earning their own money, the simple act of checking their account balance became an ordeal. With no access to their bank password and the need to trek to an ATM for updates, a sense of impatience and annoyance took root. Seeking a solution, OP turned to their mother for assistance, only to be met with resistance and a refusal to share the password. The situation exacerbated feelings of mistrust, as the very person meant to guide them through financial responsibility seemed to hinder their independence.
Complicating matters further, OP’s mother, citing concerns about impulsive spending, kept a tight grip on control. The lack of trust in OP’s ability to manage their finances created a stifling environment, pushing them to the brink of frustration. The struggle extended beyond mere financial limitations, as OP also faced emotional challenges, living under the shadow of an abusive relationship with their mother. As she approached the age of 16, a pivotal juncture in their life, OP struggled with the need for autonomy and the harsh reality of their current circumstances.
