I called my parents today, asking Mom why she took back the necklace, not wanting me to have it, even though I was paying for it...buying my inheritance.

I didn't get an answer. Mom feigned confusion. Dad acknowledged the loan, but claimed to have no understanding that I would be keeping the necklace, as they had no way to ever pay me back. Then Mom called me mercinery and Dad called me conniving.

Through hysterical crying, I gave them a piece of my mind, said she abused me my whole life. So that's that.

When your own parents call you mercinery and conniving, how do you not have a voice in your head telling you that you are worthless?

That ended hideously ugly.

I am beaten and broken. How is it I gave them money and I am mercinery and conniving?
