TIFU by letting my sister know I plan to move out and cut off my family.

I had an extremely abusive childhood and grew up to resent my parents more heavily my mom. Even though she didn’t abandon me like my dad and wasn’t nearly as abusive as him I’ve always hated her more. We got in an argument a couple of weeks ago about a package and that was the last straw for me I wanted nothing to do with her and left but I couldn’t stay gone and came back for the sake of not being homeless.

Recently my life’s been looking up, I’ve got promoted in the military, have an interview for a manager position tomorrow and if I get it I’d be able to finally fully move out after a couple more months of saving. My full intention is to pack up overnight and leave block my entire family and just live in peace. I was looking at apartments on my phone when my sister noticed and a couple hours later she walks up to me and ask if I’d want to live together. I answered no of course my sister loves my mom and will defend her like it’s her job every time I’ve been stupid enough to trust her she’s told my mom.

Once I told her I was gonna tell the school about my abuse the next day and my mom kept me from school and beat me until I said I wouldn’t. She wasnt home so she couldn’t overhear that.

My mom just didn’t like me happy and making me sad made her happy. My mom being happy makes my sister happy.

I told my sister no I’m not even planning on moving at the moment but she kept insisting. I told her once again no and to leave me alone. She just grimaced and left me alone. I leave my iPad unlocked at home while I work for my baby brother she saw a message between me and a coworker who offered to help me with moving since he has a trailer when I got home confronted me about it.

She of course told my mom what I said who sat down with me and starting ranting about how ungrateful I was and how I’m making her state go back to the way it was when I was a child how she thinks about harming herself because her daughter doesn’t love her. I reminded her that’s she has 11 other kids and that set her off she started straight balling in front of me and I actually felt bad she was literally begging me to forgive her so I told her I did but I would still be leaving and not telling her my address until I’m ready. She then told me how awful that was and how she would worry everyday about me and how it would ruin her health (she’s in her late 30’s). I simply told her she was and has ruined mine and left her alone.

She’s locked herself in her room since then and all my siblings are giving me the cold shoulder “for making her cry on purpose” the whole thing is eating at me and even my friend who I thought would be on my side told me I was wrong and that I should at least keep in contact with her.

TL;DR Today I let my sister find out about my plan to move out and cut contact causing my mom to have a mental breakdown.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
