The Daily Populous Friday May 29th, 2020 day edition
My Mom pausing the internet because I was in the middle of doing homework and forgot to text her back. This is just one example of her holding the internet over my head for every little slip up I make.
It's not because you forgot to text her back. If you had she'd have just found some other reason to exert control over you.
'How about you answer my damn texts' tells me that in no way does she care that her actions are impacting your performance in school. She is actively sabotaging you because she cannot stand the idea that you may be becoming more independent. By forcing you to apologize for something you shouldn't be apologizing for she showed you that the illusion of her authority over you is more important than your future.
Start putting money in an account she doesn't have access to and start moving the pieces to become fully independent at 18. If you let this continue into adulthood she'll just up her game.
You are in the same house, no? She can walk to you physically and ask about her concerns about the dinner in person? This is so confusing. Is she just like downstairs or something? Why so angry about text messages in the same house?!?! If she's not home, then how does she know if you're showering, or shitting, or eating, or just otherwise unavailable for barely 20 minutes?

"Also Mom. I fear that someday the way you treat me will prevent you from ever seeing your grandchildren. Just something to think about..."
