I've just recently gotten into photography, and I've purchased a Canon Rebel T1i. Well, when i went to buy it, the tax made it go over my budget, by two dollars and fifteen cents. I called up my parents and asked for 2 dollars. My mom then blew her fucking lid on me about how asking for money is taking advantage of her and she didn't agree to pay me and how i should just fucking save more next time- We're not poor, either. Anyone else deal with something like this before?

    further update- My mom just came in here and blew up further, insulting me for being invested in my hobbies, told me i was overreacting, and then as i said "This type of conversation never works out because you consistently fire shots at me and insult me, i have no desire to speak to you right now" she blamed me for her abusing me and then attempted to gaslight me by telling me what i 'Actually' said.

      OK, this is definitely sounding like a personality disorder. Watch Dr. Ramani's youtube videos about narcissism. She tells you how to deal with narcissistic parents, and had narcissistic parents herself. She's amazing and her videos are very entertaining. There's a video about pretty much every aspect of dealing with a narcissist, so there's something for you there.
