My psycho parents took my phone and tablet that I paid for with my own money because I was kicked out of church for venting online about people there excluding me. So I bought a new tablet and phone but then my mom just walked into my room without knocking while I was using my tablet and saw me try to hide it and walked in further saying what are you hiding, demanded to see it and took it away from me too. (I am posting this on a new phone I bought that my mom didnt see because it was in my purse at the time).Then they told me I'm not allowed out of the house in the afternoon after work for a MONTH! First of all, they took MY phone and tablet that I paid for in the first place which they had NO right to do, so I wouldn't have had to buy a new one and hide it if they hadn't taken mine away. And to not let me out of the house that makes NO sense they don't need to treat me look me like some child or criminal all for simply venting online!! I am an adult and those are my things and they can't keep me prisoner either!! Also, now I just wasted money on a new tablet that I can't return and get my money back because I bought it more than two weeks ago and they won't accept returns after two weeks. And my parents won't let me move out either, nor can I afford to move out anyway.

Im sorry you are in a place of disagreement with tour parents. That must be hard.
From your other posts, i believe this has been going on for a while.
What was their reasoning for taking away your technology?
Hope you are able to resolve these conflicts peacefully soon!

Isn't it identical thread from awhile ago. Is it still the same tablet? Or new one? Third?

Your parents set a limit related to your behavior online. You violated the limit so they enforced a logical consequence. You then snuck behind them to get another phone and tablet. Your mother found out and took the tablet.

There are consequences for the choices we make in life. We might not like the consequences, but they are still there.

You say you are an adult. If you don't like the rules at your parents' house move out. In the meantime, while living in their house if you do not abide by their rules they are going to enforce consequences.

May I ask what kind of help you are looking for here at PC? You post about the same sort of issues repeatedly. People are kind and offer suggestions. You don't respond to the suggestions. Then you post about the same sort of problems. Whaqt is it you need/want from us?

You're an adult? How old are you then?! Just move out of home then.

OP, please help us understand what you're trying to get out of posting the same threads as two different members. And all posts are about the same thing. Please tell us how we can HELP you. You seem to just post and disappear. I suggest you keep a journal and seek therapy rather than wasting time on here.

You've never said, are you in therapy? I think you could benefit greatly from face to face counseling. In face to face therapy there is two way conversation and immediate feedback. Instead of going behind your parents back and buying banned items you might want to put that money towards therapy.

I think you need to take a big step back and take a look at things from a different prospective. Your parents took your phone and tablet away for a reason. They were most likely going to give it back. But instead of dealing with the consequences, you waste money to buy new ones only to have that taken away too. In terms of money spending, that is not going to help you in the long run when you want to move out. In terms of buying stuff behind their backs, it comes off as disrespectful, and to your parents, even rebellious.

I can understand why the did it. You do nothing but backstab people online. Yes everyone vents, but it can only go so far. Not only that, there is a good chance you are hurting people who care about you due to misunderstanding their intentions. And calling your parents psycho online isn't going to help. I think face to face counseling would help, as suggested by other posters.

Finally, as I mentioned before, as well as other people, start taking people's advice and think about what people tell you. Everyone here is very kind and are more than willing to help but when you repeatedly ignore everyone, disappear for a while, only to come back and make a post identical to previous thread, it comes off as disrespectful and makes it seem like you don't care about what people have to say.

Eventually people will get tired of offering advice and will begin to ignore you. I bet that is what's happening in real life too. If you ignored anyone trying to help you in real life, that could explain why they may be distant from you. They don't know what to say or do so they start to pull away from drama and negativity. Please try to understand where other people are coming from, rather than just assume everyone is a psycho in real life and ignoring everyone online.

you do understand your parents have the right to make rules and expect them to be followed, right?

I was a bit confused when reading this tread because you (the person who started this thread) is an adult but whats being posted is situations that here in my location is what a teen ager mad at their parents would post.

I went back over your past posts. I see that you are 26 but are a disabled person with problems with understanding \performing more than one task. unable to work because no one will hire you due to your limitations.. your past posts state many times about relationship problems with friends and family. that you dont understand why they say and do what they do...

lets see if I can break this problem in this thread down a bit for you.

you are angry at your parents because they took your phone and tablet away and dont understand why.

posting online is not like writing in a private diary that only you get to see. everyone in the whole world sees what you post. sometimes if you post things about other people it makes other people feel bad.

think about something you did wrong. now think about how you would feel if someone in your church posted online about what you did wrong. would that make you feel good that they were talking bad about you? probably not right.

your parents saw that you were talking bad about someone in your church, so they had to make a rule that you were grounded off your cell phone and tablet.

why are your parents treating you like a child. because children do what you did. an adult doesnt go out and buy a new phone and tablet when they are told no. they get told no and go without until they they are told they can do it again. this is called accepting responsibility for doing something wrong.

think of it like this when you do get a job, because you are an adult you will be expected to follow the rules. not act like a child and go behind your boss's back and keep doing wrong after they tell you no.

if you want people to like you and treat you like the adult your age you will need to do what people your age do by following the rules. right now your parents are making the rules so you will need to follow their rules, someday when you have a job your boss will be making the rules for working and you will need to follow their rules.
