So a few months ago my mother (47F) caught me (17F) and my boyfriend (17M) talking on a call late at night in my room. We weren't doing anything inappropriate, just talking about us, our day, etc. my mother yelled at me and said a girl coming from a good house doesn't talk to boys this late, I told her this won't happen again, and I would keep it in mind. Now my parents are separated and I love with my mother and grandmother. My family doesn't know about our relationship but my boyfriend's family does and they love me. When my boyfriend told his mother about this, she supported us and was ready to talk to my mother if necessary.

A few days later to this incident, my grandmother started complaining about a really bad back pain. My mother and grandmother used to sleep together in a convertible bed and I had a bed with a good soft mattress in my room because I have chronic back pain (undiagnosed) my aunt took my grandmother to the doctors and when they returned, they said that the doctor advised her to sleep on the bed. My bed. I was upset with this because I didn't want to give up my room and sleep with my mother, but I didn't protest because I thought it was real and she really needed my bed.

My mother is not a good mother. When my parents weren't separated, they used to fight all night and morning (both of them were working) and I had to make them food and do the laundry. They separated when I was 12. My mother works in corporate from 10am to 6pm, comes home by 7pm to 10pm. When she does get home, she expects me to do all the household work. I do what I can along with my studies, but I'm in grade 12, my last year, I need to focus more on studies so that I can get into a good college.

I recently asked my mother why I can't get my room back or at least sleep in my room once a week, she got mad at me, and yelled at me for wanting that, and said that I'll talk to my boyfriend if I get my room back. We talk everyday on texts and calls. At night, we video call while being muted. He talks and I type.

I just want my room back because the convertible is making my back pain worse day by day and I can't sleep well at night because of the pain. Moreover, I feel detached from this house. Earlier, I was attached to my room because I was there all day, morning to night. I used to wake up there and go to sleep there. It felt like my own place. But now, I sleep in one room, study in another room, nothing feels mine in this house anymore.

AITAH for this?
