My mom and dad drives me nuts sometimes ( adult because of swearing)

She went into my room and vacuumed the carpet. She took four of my scarves. One mid weight pashmina and three heavy weight scarves and my mid weight wool blend coat which they consider a winter coat and put it to wash even though they didn’t need to be washed . She did this without my permission. She insisted on them being air dried and not put I the dryer and when I said I wanted to put them in the dryer she said no they do not go in the dryer and she would take away my stuff if I put them in the dryer. My parents also stopped me from taking my same mid weight wool coat and thick scarf to my appointment with me like the control freaks they are when it comes to my clothes. It was 80 degrees today this afternoon and that’s when my appointment was. I was going to wear my coat and scarf inside because of the air conditioning inside the building. I also would wear mid weight coats and thick scarves in the mornings and evenings on 80-85 degree weather afternoons because the mornings and nights are in the 50s and lower to mid 60s. They let me take. A warm pink fleece over my thick sweater and jeans and sheepskin lined moccasin shoes. I hated the air conditioning in the car and in the building. I wear long sleeves and fleece lined ( lightly lined joggers and two heavy fleeces inside the house with the ac on.) they had no right to tell me how to dress. And had no right to stop me from taking my coat and scarf. I hate my parents sometimes. Also my mother is trying to get a financial stipend from an adult family care/foster care organization called we care 365 in Massachusetts to help with my upkeep. It helps the elderly and individuals with disabilities live in their homes with paid caregivers such as friends or family members. A nurse/social worker came by the house today at 5:00 pm to get an intake information and see the house like the kitchen, my bedroom, the bathroom I use etc. it was so awkward with the line of questioning. I have told my parents all day this is the last time they will ever tell me what to wear. My dad said if he sees me with winter coats and such he will store them until September. He will do no such thing. He said he will say that in front of any caseworker. My parents can fuck off about my clothes. I’m an adult and I will wear what feels comfortable and right to me. My parents have to respect my bodily autonomy.,I don’t want to hear them complain or criticize my clothing based on concerns of being too warmly dressed and bundled up. It really pisses me off. My parents think being cold is all in my head. Fuck them!!!It is an alternative to institutionalized placement like a group home. They have a stupid rule about how I can’t be left alone without someone with me for more than three hours at a time. My parents have to help me with preparing meals and cleaning. But I do laundry and can physically bathe, groom, and dress myself. I can use the toilet independently, etc. I can dispense my medication and I remember to take my medication every day. I will have a nurse and social worker come to check on me every month and meet with me and my parents if my mom gets approved as a caregiver. I don’t want that but my parents are taking care of me. Eventually I have to be independent and take care of myself. I don’t want to be in adult foster care/family care program and have my parents be my guardians for the rest of my life. Eventually they will die and I will need services to help me navigate insurance and medical issues ( like forms) like a medical social worker or a patient advocate to make sure I understand the content of the documents. I eventually will be responsible for myself with some supports in place. Supportive housing and independent living for those with mental health disabilities. I don’t want to end up in a nursing home or a group home. I also don’t want the state to act as a conservator or guardian. I will eventually pay my own bills, insurance, and taxes. I will do household chores and maintenance and personal shopping. I will probably need help with getting around because I probably will not be able to drive. I will have my license for identification purposes. If I could ever drive again I probably will not be able to afford a car or its maintenance fees and gas. I don’t want to rely on the bus on demand service. I already get sick of taking medical transportation paratransit to my therapy appointments. My life will be limited.
