I’m sorry but I still can’t believe my parent still doesn’t understand the importance of respecting boundaries- not saying privacy because they’ll just reject that

That’s tough especially if you’re financially on your own now. But if they were adequate in every other way, consider yourself lucky babe🫶 you can learn financially literacy & work on your impulse control…other traumas are a little more challenging to overcome🥲
