I (13f) was at my birthday party, it was me, my mum (46f), my best friend (14f), my other friend (14f), my aunty (45f) and her daughters who's info I will not be putting out there. So, I was turning 13 and wanted to have a little party with just the ppl I love, so I invited the ppl I have mentioned, the first plan was for it to just be me and my friends, but since we were going to a huge play center, like soft play, my little cousins wanted to come so I said that was fine. We all play for a bit, and keep in mind, it's now my responsibility to look after the kids, so I don't really have too much fun, not to sound ungrateful but yk, so anyways we have a couple of goes on the slide, then the littlens wanted a drink so we go back to the table where my mum and aunt was sat, but I see my mum crying. Now my mum never cries so I was really concerned, I go over to her and ask her if she'd come with me to the bathroom so I could talk to her, she then tells me that my aunt had said that my mum was ruining my life by letting me have a break from school, for context, I have always struggled with my mental health, I started self harm when I was 8 and have made attempts on my life many times, so for that moment in time my mum thought it would be good to take me from school for a while as I was getting bullied severely (I'm at a diff school now and loving it) anyway, she goes on to tell me that my aunt said that my life is worthless now and completely ruined and that it's completely our own faults for not just pushing to get myself back in school, and I just need to strengthen up and face the world, so obviously I started crying and that was pretty much my party ruined. Now tell me if I'm being dramatic but I'd say I have a right to be mad, wouldn't you?
