In this story, a 29-year-old woman named Alex, who has been in a long-term relationship with her partner, had to move in with her parents after her previous residence became uninhabitable due to a roof collapse. Alex was contributing financially by paying a portion of the rent and bills, and she had her room, albeit without a suitable workspace. She chose to work from the dining room, and during this time, she brought her gaming consoles and a laptop with her. The mother grew concerned about Alex’s gaming habits, believing that it was affecting her work and causing delays in her daily routine, particularly at dinnertime.
The mother, in an attempt to address her concerns about Alex’s gaming, took it upon herself to collect all of Alex’s gaming equipment while she was away on a cinema date and gym session with her partner. When Alex returned, she was shocked to discover her tech missing and, in her distress, believed her home had been robbed. Her mother then explained that she had given away the equipment, asserting that she did so because she felt Alex was addicted to gaming and not working enough. This confrontation led to a heated argument between the two, with Alex expressing her anger and frustration at her mother’s actions and she called her mother A-hole. Alex mentioned that the gaming equipment was costly to replace, and she indicated that it was essential for her mental well-being, helping her with depression and anxiety.
