So basically.... My mom used to collect my pay before I got my bank account opened.

And I used to use around 20% of my pay and let her keep the rest. The idea was that I'm not a saver but a spender so she'd prevent me from spending it...
Anyway so today my new stethoscope arrived and for those of you who have worked in healthcare would know how expensive littmanns are, especially when converted from US dollars to 3rd word currencies. So I told my mom to retrieve the money from my pay that she had with her to pay for the package. They received my package.

....okay so now she just casually told me that there's no more money left from all my pays. I was like "yeah okay" and didn't react.

...but I'm wondering if she just said it so I wouldn't order anything else... Or if.... If it's actually gone and I shouldn't trust her with my money....
I still need to order a GPS device for the stethoscope. And I need money to buy my sunscreen/retinol. I'm so sad. I want to move out. I haven't even bought a facewash or gotten waxed for 2 months because I was saving for my stethoscope...this isn't fair.

Yes. Yes I did spend 35 dollars on a hand crocheted sweater. But it was a timeless piece.

oooo, having had my mom try to do this, using the same excuse, when all she really wanted to do was control me, this gives me PTSD.

@suzette yes. She just wants control. She's scared that I might learn to live without her. That one day I will not take her BS and walk out. She wants to keep my wings clipped.
