My grandpa yelled at me for being lazy for not looking for a job and he’s fed up.

So my grandpa when into my room, fed up with me laying on my bed all day and pulled me out of bed. He said, “Get up! NOW!”
I didn’t want to but he didn’t take no for an answer and didn’t listen to me. He pointed at me and sternly scolded at me, “You listen
here young lady! You’ve been like this since your dad’s passing and laying in bed every day and wasting your life isn’t healthy! You need to get help and I’m getting it for you and YOU ARE GOING! Plus you haven’t been looking for your job and we’re fed up with you laying around all day doing nothing! You’re getting bigger since you haven’t been exercising! (Ouch harsh)
You’re 19! You should be exploring the world and enjoy life! Death shouldn’t stop you from living life. Life goes on! What have you been doing all day?!
I told him I laid in bed, are junk food, watched movies avoiding my friends angry, blunt voicemail. Then he cut me off and said, “Did you look for work at least?”
I told him no I’m too depressed and I’m just going to volunteer online and I’m autistic so I can’t do anymore and I’m a looser. He cut me off and yelled at me, “WELL YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING!! I’m getting tired of these lame excuses! Stop using autism as an excuse and volunteer won’t pay the bills. If you’re not live with us need to get a job or at least do some! We’re fed up! Tomorrow, I expect you to do something productive with yourself, look for a job that will PAY you. You wanna get paid. You lost your other job you can look for another one. STOP WITH THESE PITIFUL EXCUSES!” And he walked away and slammed the door. He didn’t have to yell at me and he made me cry some more. I’m a teen. He needs to stop yelling at me. 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭
I need my mommy and daddy but their both dead! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sorry long rant.

I am so sorry you lost your folks so young and its hard to understand and being autistic doesnt help but your grandfather obviousy loves and wants the best for you . Hes trying but the saying is god helps those that help themselves . Or you can take a horse to water but cant make it drink . Go and tell your grandad how your feeling . I mean really tell him . Tell him your not coping and are missing your folks and need help . Be honest with him . A problem shared is a problem halved . He is probably hurting at the loss as much as you but is trying to be strong for you . Please go and talk and cry and hug him and tell him you love him . Together the 2 of you can support each other and remember all the good things . You will never forget I promise but time is a great healer . If there is one thing as a parent I know , your folks would want you to have a life and be happy , so live your life for them , in their memory . I really hope you have a great life you deserve it after all you lost . Go out and make them proud and I honestly wish you all the luck in the world . Now Please go and talk and have a heart to heart with your grandad remember he lost just as much as you . Give him a hug and tell him you love him .

@Rhode57 We’ll my grandparents are my late moms parents.
It’s kind a hard to talk to him right now because he is tough as nails and won’t put up any crap. My grandma is more mellow but also tough as nails too. I guess I’ll try. They shouldn’t have brought me out of bed like that and forced me. I’m an ADULT. You can’t tell adults what to do.

I’m sorry that you lost both of your parents at such a young age.

I don’t think that raising your voice and slamming doors is acceptable.

I was completely let down by two friends this week and they’ve been doing it quite a bit lately and I have some issues from an accident. Now when my friends (now former friends) disappointed me this week I raised my voice and let them have it. That’s not the human that I am and that evening I cried about how I acted.

However, short of yelling and door slamming I think your Grandpa is doing you a favor and if you show him a little progress I’m sure he will be happy.

Are you a high functioning autistic person? I’m sure you can find a job working with other autistic people in a councilors roll.

I’m certain he did not enjoy how he acted.
