My mom told me I was a mooch for accepting sweet, sweet FAFSA money totaling like $1500 a year when I went back to school. This same woman filed for bankruptcy years ago but made sure she maxed out her credit cards buying scuba gear and kitchenware.
When I turned 18, my mom got me a birthday cake with the words "CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATE, NOW GET THE FUCK OUT" on it and gave me a cheap luggage set. Like, OK, yeah, it's a tongue-in-cheek joke, I get it, yadda yadda, but you can't pull that shit after spending my whole life being a distant narcissist flake and not expect me to find it in really shitty taste.
It took until my mid 20s before I realized that people weren't just constantly trash-talking assholes to one another by default, and I'm still deprogramming myself because I don't want my kid to come out as some kind of earthly avatar of an ancient Sumerian sarcasm deity.
Mine moved in with her new boyfriend and I spent about 6 months couch hopping or sometimes sleeping under a bush because the job I was working didn't pay nearly enough to get an apartment and my car had broken down.
